Why Pest Control done correctly is needed for Pests. Below is facts of just 2 Pests that most people hate and despise, unless you use them for circus acts, lab experiments or have them as a tasty treat dipped in chocolate. Now just for the record, I am glad I have never tried them as a delicacy, maybe they could be good with some tartar sauce as many people love eating their cousins the prawn, the cockroach of the sea.
So just to get an idea of how quickly a rat and cockroach infestation can get out of hand, let's look at some numbers below.
Rats reach sexual maturity in as little as nine weeks, forget about being pregnant for 9 months like humans, it takes them 9 weeks to reach the ability to repopulate. Now if this doesn't make you go WOW, read further. This means that a rat population can swell from two rats to around 1,250 in one year, with the potential to grow exponentially.
German cockroaches are capable of producing four to eight egg capsules during adulthood. They typically produce a new capsule every six weeks, and it takes the eggs about 28 days to hatch. Now if we just work on a number of a 100 females in a residents, which is not much if we take into account that one residence can have 900 to 300 000 roaches.
So just working on a 100 females and not taking into account that the new roaches start laying eggs in a few months from being hatched and taking into account that German cockroach egg capsules usually have anywhere from 30 to 48 eggs inside them.
So what this means is that females can have a number of 120 -348 young in +-200 days @ 100 females means that 100 roaches can become 12 000 - 34 800 in less than a year.
