4. What do southern cockroaches eat to survive?

Cockroaches are omnivorous insects that feed on a wide range of foods, including bread, rice, cakes, meat and vegetable cooked foods, fruits and beverages, etc. They especially like to eat fragrant, sweet and oily flour-based foods.

Cockroaches are fond of eating grease. Among various vegetable oils, sesame oil is the most attractive. In some places, cockroaches are called "oil thieves."

Among all edible sugars, brown sugar and maltose are the most attractive.

Cockroaches also often bite other objects, including cotton and wool products, leather products, paper, books, soap, wires, etc.

In outdoor garbage dumps, sewers and toilets, they feed on decaying organic matter and even chew on dead animals. Different species of cockroaches have different feeding habits.

German cockroaches love to eat fermented foods and drinks, and love to drink beer; American cockroaches like to eat rotten organic matter; Australian cockroaches mainly eat plant-based food.

Water is more important to the survival of cockroaches than food. Cockroaches can endure thirst and hunger, and can go without water for a month, and even without food for three months (under water conditions).

When given only dry food but no water, female American cockroaches can survive for 40 days, while males can survive for 27 days. On the contrary, if there is water but no food, females can survive for 90 days, while males can survive for 43 days. Cockroaches can still survive for a week without a head.

The headless cockroach simply died of thirst because it had no mouth to drink water.

When in harsh environmental conditions, with no food or water, cockroaches will cannibalize each other, with the big eating the small and the strong eating the weak. Insects that have just shed their skin, in particular, cannot move and have tender skin, become prey for competition, and the cockroaches survive by absorbing the moisture from their corpses.
