Bed bugs are becoming more and more common in homes all over the world. While most people understand how to get rid of them, they cannot comprehend why people would turn to bugs like the cockroach for help with this matter. This article will focus on why bed bugs love roach blood so much and why roaches seem especially fond of their own. We’ve all heard of the infamous cockroach, and its dastardly deeds. We’ve also all heard of the pesky bed bug — their bites are annoying and they love to sleep in our beds. But what if we told you that there’s a cockroach species that loves to eat these nasty little critters? Welcome to the world of Cryptocercus: an amazing species of roach from the family Blatellidae. Cockroaches are slimy, ugly insects that can give you severe allergies and make your skin crawl. But did you know cockroaches are also really good eating? Sure, it may sound disgusting to some people. But there are actually people in this world who prefer cockroaches over pork and consider them a delicacy. Anyone who has ever lived in a major city knows the frustration of dealing with bed bugs. While they don’t pose any serious health risks to humans, they can cause lots of stress from constant itching and sleepless nights. So, what do you do when you are faced with a bed bug infestation? Do you reach for chemicals or sit back and watch them chow down on your blood all night? I hate cockroaches. I mean, if you like bugs, and you have time to visit the dentist, there could be worse choices to make. But even if you squish a roach with a fly swatter, their bloated bodies slowly rise back up to walk around the area again, stop in front of you, then collapse. That’s just not right in my book. Heck, it’s not right at all. However, I’m going to tell you about another bug that’s ten times grosser than a cockroach… a bug that eats it for breakfast. A little guy named the American Cockroach (the largest), AKA the Palmetto Bug (the most hated), AKA the Water Bug (the nicest). The name “Waterbug” is actually incorrect; they are known as palmetto bugs because they are only found in warm climates like Florida or South Carolina.
Cockroach Eating Bed Bug
Introduction
In a recent bed bug infestation, a Florida exterminator discovered something unusual: cockroach excrement. If you have ever seen droppings from cockroaches, then you probably know that they are very small and don’t really make much of an impression on the environment. However, this time it was different. The exterminators got to work and removed the bed bugs and their eggs from the room in which they had infested.
When the exterminators spotted cockroach excrement in the room, they were surprised at first because they didn’t know what it was. They later discovered that this wasn’t just ordinary dirt or dust but an actual colony of live insects! It turns out there’s more than one way to get rid of pests like bed bugs and cockroaches – sometimes it’s better not to just rely on poison all day long if there are other options available, especially when those options can be both effective as well as cost effective.”
Bed bug infestations usually occur in bedrooms, but they are also found in other areas of your home and infest schools, hotels, offices, hospitals and more.
- Bed bug infestations usually occur in bedrooms, but they are also found in other areas of your home and infest schools, hotels, offices, hospitals and more.
- Bed bugs live in cracks and crevices within the bed frame. They can also be found within the seams of your mattress or boxspring; under baseboards; in cracks on floors; behind picture frames on walls; inside light fixtures or lampshades where they can hide during the day (they are nocturnal); around door trim/baseboards at floor level as well as any other place that hides them well from detection.
- Bed bugs feed on human blood for survival – not only do their bites hurt but you may experience itchy welts that resemble mosquito bites after being bitten by a bed bug. Since these pests are often mistaken for mosquitoes when they bite you should check yourself carefully after coming home from an evening out to make sure there aren’t any signs of having been bitten by one! If you do notice signs of being bitten then contact us immediately so we can take care of this problem before it gets out-of-control!
The exterminators spotted cockroach excrement.
Cockroach poop is one of the most obvious signs of a cockroach infestation. It’s usually black, and has a strong musty smell that can linger in your home for weeks.
Cockroaches prefer to defecate in hidden locations like corners, behind furniture and in crevices in your walls and floorboards. This makes it harder to find their droppings unless you know where to look—and if you’re lucky enough to spot them, it’s best not to touch them with bare hands as they may carry germs from garbage cans or sewers into your home.
Cockroach poop is one of the most obvious signs of a cockroach infestation.
Cockroach poop is one of the most obvious signs of a cockroach infestation. Sometimes, it can be found in small, circular piles on floors or counters. Cockroach poop is usually brown and black and can be found in kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. It’s also not uncommon to find cockroach poop in other areas of your home, such as closets or under beds.
Now that’s weird.
While cockroaches may be considered pests, they are also known to eat other pests. For example, many people believe that roaches are capable of eating bed bugs. In fact, some websites devoted to the extermination of bed bugs actually recommend the use of cockroaches as a method of controlling infestations. This is because cockroaches will eat anything—including their own dead—and since only an adult female can lay eggs that lead to more young roaches in your home, it’s important to kill as many females as possible before they start reproducing!
So how do you get rid of these creepy crawlies once and for all? Read on…

It’s important to know the difference between an ordinary dirt mound and a termite colony.
It’s important to know the difference between an ordinary dirt mound and a termite colony. A termite colony is a large group of termites that live together in the same area. A typical colony could be up to 5,000,000 termites! A colony is usually found in the ground or wood. You can identify it by looking for these signs:
- Soft soil with mounds
- Tunnels inside of mounds
- Thin wooden sticks lying around in the dirt
An exterminator doesn’t just come up with a plan to get rid of pests.
It’s easy to think of a bed bug exterminator as someone who just comes up with a plan and executes it. But there’s actually a lot more to what they do.
An exterminator needs to know what kind of pests are present in the home, how many there are, and how far along their infestation has progressed before coming up with the best solution for getting rid of them. They’ll also need to know whether those pests are bed bugs or roaches—or both!
The exterminators found something unexpected in the bed bug infested room
Bed bugs are nocturnal. They hide in mattresses, bed frames and even behind the headboards of your bed at night and come out to feed on you while you’re sleeping.
Bed bugs however are not the same as cockroaches – they do not fly or jump like their wingless bug brethren.
Although they do resemble roaches closely, bed bugs are not a problem in the US or UK – but they are an issue in Australia where they have been known to plague hotels and other accommodation facilities where people sleep while on vacation (or business trips).
Conclusion
Although we have seen a lot of cases where bed bugs and cockroaches live in the same place, this is not common. Cockroaches are opportunistic feeders, but they are not known to eat other insects. The only way for them to do this would be if there were no other food sources available for them. Something must have changed at the house for this behavior to occur as it did.”
