Many different species of insects are able to live in close proximity with one another and share harborage, food, and water sources.

 What if your home or business has German Cockroaches and Bed Bugs at the same time?

Some insects may even eat each other and their neighbors!  In the Las Vegas valley outside Cockroaches will frequently live and breed in the same areas, sometimes competing for territory but usually are very tolerant of other Cockroach species.  Cockroaches will eat the eggs of other species, although Cockroaches don’t have colonies, they are gregarious in nature and like to hang around each other.

The areas where Cockroaches gather is usually filled with feces, molted exoskeletons, eggs, and just plain nastiness!  Cockroaches can sense where these areas are and will usually stay there during the day or when there is a light source because they are nocturnal in nature.

When there is simply not enough room in your home or business, German Cockroaches can be seen foraging for food and water all the time light or dark!  Any location where the Cockroach can have both the top and bottom of it’s body touching a surface at the same time is exceptional, even if they are out in the open with obvious human activity the corners of walls are a good example!

Bed Bugs share these same habits and will hide in dark tight spaces until the night time when they feed!  Serious infestations of Bed Bugs can lead to daytime feeding and gathering in Bed Bug clusters in the corners of your walls or any other area they can find.  Bed Bugs will leave pheromones in these locations and return to them after every blood meal!

What if your home or business has German Cockroaches and Bed Bugs at the same time?  The two insects have such similar habits that they will literally share the same dark tight spaces!  Often the question goes through my mind, if there are so many German Cockroaches and Bed Bugs in the same place then are they reproducing with each other?!  Even though it may seem like it some times the awnser is no, Bed Bugs can’t reproduce with Cockroaches!
