These allergies sometimes trigger asthma. They transport different types of pathogens. They can spread certain types of bacteria that causes food poisoning and hence, typhoid. The bacteria will spread to the blood stream and hence can cause different types of life threatening infections. They crawl anywhere, eat anything, be it clothes, paper, food, tissue, books, smaller insects etc. they eat basically anything.

They have been known to spread up to more than 20 kinds of bacteria and other types of pathogens that are harmful to man. However it is very necessary to take preventive steps because these cockroaches as small as they are, are very capable of taking away the life of a loved one. Clean your cupboards so as to prevent and reduce their hiding places. Always ensure the dirty plates are washed, sinks are cleaned, and the floor and cupboards are cleaned, so as to avoid their survival. Ensure you avoid leaving food uncovered so as to prevent not just cockroaches but rats and houseflies also from dropping pathogens and bacteria on the food.

They are actually very harmful and deserved to be killed. You can pour hot water in the sinks that haven't been used for a while, because they tend to relax there most times. I even wish they can go extinct because they add nothing positive to the environment, Of course except manure.
