Some facts about cockroaches

Myth: Cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion.
Truth: Whilst cockroaches can survive 10x the radiation that a human can survive, they cannot survive a nuclear blast. It is therefore not suggested as a recommended removal procedure, there are indeed much easier ways to get rid of them.

Myth: Cockroaches only invade dirty homes.
Truth: Cockroaches might enter clean homes, depending on ease of access to the water and food sources in the home. Dirtier homes just provide easier access, so it is more common. Therefore, it is important to not only keep your home clean, but also to ensure that cracks, crevices and points of entry for cockroaches and other insects are properly sealed to deny harbourage.

Coming across cockroaches can be very distressing whether in your home or a business. In the UK we most commonly come across the German (Blattella Germanica), Oriental (Blatta Orientalis) and Brown Banded (Supella longipalpa) cockroaches. Whilst none of these can survive in our weather externally, they can all be found in different environments within our homes.
