Cockroaches can be found in almost every corner of the world, including in your home. If you have this nest of bugs, there are effective ways to eliminate them from your homes. Most homeowners opt for toxic sprays but these only lessen their numbers and not eliminate them permanently. If you wish to get rid of cockroaches for good, here is a list of the natural predators that will help you eliminate these monstrous crawly creatures from your homes. One of the most frustrating household pests are the cockroaches. This insect is filthy, transmit germs and bacteria and are hideous. Cockroaches also cause severe damage to your property.
Natural Predators Of Cockroaches
Lizards
Lizards are carnivorous, and the most common lizard in North America is the house gecko. These lizards have been kept as pets for centuries, but they are also useful in controlling pest populations because they can eat up to 50 roaches per week!
Geckos are cold-blooded, which means that they cannot store or produce their own body heat like other animals do. Instead of generating their own heat through metabolism and then losing it through circulation (endotherms), geckos absorb thermal energy from sunlight and use it to raise their body temperature above 32°F/0°C – making them more like insects than mammals in this respect!
Centipedes
Centipedes have been around for millions of years, and they’ve developed a rather effective way of catching roaches. Their front legs are modified in such a way that they act like fangs, injecting venom into their prey. This venom causes paralysis, which makes it easier for the centipede to eat its victim alive.
Centipedes can catch roaches because they’re plentiful and easy to find—roaches tend to live in warm areas like kitchens, where food is constantly available. They also have sensitive senses that allow them to detect prey from a distance. Centipede bites are painful but rarely serious; most people recover over time without any complications.
Ants
Ants and roaches live in similar habitats, so they compete for the same food sources. They also tend to eat the same things as well. The problem is that ants can be used to combat an infestation of roaches, but they also may provide a place for roaches to hide and breed.
Ants are usually more aggressive than other insects because they have more powerful mandibles (jaws). They can kill cockroaches with their mandibles and then carry them off as food for their colony!
In addition, ants’ nests often contain an oil gland inside each worker ant’s body which allows them to spray formic acid at enemies or competitors when threatened by possible predators such as humans or household pets such as cats or dogs.”
Frogs
Frogs are a great way to control cockroaches in your garden. They love eating roaches and can eat hundreds of them in one night. Keeping frogs in your garden is easy, as they do not need a lot of space or care. Frogs are also fun animals to keep as pets, especially if you have children who would enjoy watching them hunt for food each day.
Geckos
- Geckos are small lizards that are active at night. They have sticky feet, which allow them to climb walls, and they eat insects and spiders.
- The house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) is the most common gecko in the United States, but other species may also be found in houses and apartments. These include Gekko okinawanus, Tokay geckos (Gekko gecko), Asian house geckos(Hemidactylus garnotii)
These animals eat roaches and can be used to keep down an infestation.
- Natural predators can help keep down an infestation, but they cannot stop it.
- The best way to avoid an infestation is to prevent it.
- Use glue traps and baits to eliminate cockroaches in your home or business.
