The Cockroach

Many people are afraid of them. It has enjoyed life for thousands and

thousands of years. There are more than a thousand kinds of it found all over the world.

It is closely related to the cricket and the grasshopper but is not as pleasing. It is, in fact,

the most disgusting of all insects. What is it? It is the annoying cockroach.

The cockroach has an oval-shaped body that is covered with a shiny, tough

casing. It has two long feelers. It has long legs that are covered with bristles. These legs

are strong and help the cockroach to run fast. It is one of the fastest-running insects.

Some cockroaches have wings and can fly.

A cockroach will eat anything – food, grease, trash, books, chairs, other insects.

It can be found anywhere – homes, stores, bakeries. A cockroach is dirty and tarnishes

anything it touches.

The best way to keep a cockroach out of your house is to keep your house clean

and dry. A cockroach likes a house that is dirty, greasy, and damp. Seal cracks to

prevent the cockroach from entering the house. Dust cracks with roach powder. The

roach powder has poison in it. The poison gets on the cockroach’s legs, feelers, and

casing. The cockroach eats the poison as it grooms itself and soon it dies.
