Roaches can live without food for a month, but will only survive a week without water.
Cockroaches can climb walls because they are equipped with a set of little claws on their feet (Eek! We always thought we were safe when we jumped on the table!)
Crushed cockroaches can be applied to a stinging wound to help relieve the pain. Hopefully you’re never left with this as the only option!
Cockroaches can run up to 4.8km in an hour.
A cockroach that has just shed its skin is white with black eyes. After eight hours, however, it will regain its regular shell colouring.
