Cockroaches live in a flock, and their reproduction is favoured by high temperature. The female is able to give birth to up to 200 young individuals during one season. Contrary to popular belief, their colonies do not spread in any direction. As can be seen from observations carried out in New York, these insects are relatively strongly attached to their territory and try not to leave the places where they grew up. Under the right conditions, they can survive up to 2 years, and their survival is favored by the fact that they are omnivores. Despite this, the lack of food and water is not a problem for them – they may not eat for up to 40 days and have no access to water for up to 2 weeks.
