Those concerns make us often psychologically 'not let it escape' when we see them. However, imagine that one day, when cockroaches are completely wiped out, will human life be 'easier' at that time?

Questioning Professor Srini Kambhampati, head of the Department of Biology at the University of Texas at Tyler, he said, in fact, this rodent has no small effects and life will be disturbed somewhat if they suddenly disappear.

What would life be like without cockroaches?

Around the world, insects are generally an important food source for many small insect-feeding birds and mammals, such as mice. Of course, their existence is based not only on cockroaches alone. So if the cockroach is gone, it won't affect that appearance, only their number will definitely decrease, leading to countless other disadvantages. For example, the decline in rat population is an obsession with rat-hunting species including cats (domestic cats and feral cats), wolves, eagles or some other birds and reptiles.

Particularly, many species depend entirely on cockroaches such as parasitic wasps on cockroaches, 'almost certainly going extinct' , Kambhampati said.

Also, if that becomes true, the inevitable consequence is the chaos of the so-called nitrogen cycle.

Cockroaches mostly eat rotting organic matter containing lots of nitrogen. Thus, nitrogen in cockroaches is a rich source of nutrients for many plants. In other words, the extinction of cockroaches will greatly affect the forests and the creatures that live there.

So, before you intend to kill them, take some time to think about these things and maybe it will change your actions!
