One can think for a long time about where the cockroaches came from in the apartment, but the truth cannot be found. They can crawl into an apartment from a garbage chute, ventilation system, from neighbors, or you can bring cockroach eggs from the street, work or from guests, while they cannot be seen. Eggs can stick to the soles of shoes, bags, or outerwear.
Many believe that it is impossible to get rid of mustachioed neighbors, but it is easier to move. Indeed, cockroaches are not easy to exterminate. These insects are unpretentious in food, they can not eat at all for more than a month. They say that cockroaches are able to control their offspring: if the colony living in the apartment is numerous, then fewer children appear from one cocoon, and if there are few pests left, for example, after processing the premises, then their birth rate rises sharply.
