Are Brown-Banded Roaches Dangerous?

Small, nocturnal and non-aggressive, brown-banded cockroaches aren’t known to sting or bite humans or pets but they do present other health concerns. Carriers of more than 30 types of disease-causing bacteria, brown-banded cockroaches also carry six species of parasitic worms and at least seven other pathogens that affect humans. Additionally, according to recent medical research, brown-banded cockroaches are thought to contribute to allergies and can exacerbate asthma issues, particularly in children.

Risks of Brown-Banded Cockroaches

Because bacteria and other germs stick to brown-banded cockroaches’ legs as they crawl through decaying, decomposing materials and sewage, these small cockroaches, come into contact with bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal issues, such as gastroenteritis and diarrhea after they crawl into your pantry and infect food products.

Why roach allergies are so scary

With millions of people suffering from allergy symptoms, roach allergies are not often top of mind when compared to the more common triggers such as dust mites or pollen. A stubborn indoor allergen (a substance that causes an allergic reaction), roaches are difficult to get rid of entirely, even in the cleanliest home. Not just a residential problem, roaches can find their way into offices, restaurants, and in some of the more dangerous cases, schools. If left untreated, they can cause long term health problems and exacerbate already existing conditions such as asthma, the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15. Although emphasis should be placed on treating and eliminating live roaches, it is also important to pay close attention to the removal of dead roaches. Over time, the deterioration of their cast skins can create allergens.
