What makes icky roaches more destructive?

I hate this species very much as many of us do. We call them cockroaches. I don’t know how cockroaches harm us, but these are very unpleasant to look at. To figure out why we hate cockroaches, though they are not so disgusting to look at; it must be our parents and elders who created an icky feeling on them.

Coming to why we must avoid cockroaches, they create many nuisances that destroy the pleasantness of our daily chores. They can make our favorite room stink. They can carry disease causing microbes along with them. Though these are small reasons, the big reason is that a cockroach can reproduce 300-400 cockroaches in its life time. And with increase in their number, they can change their living style, and start attacking on humans directly. This is not a very good thing because these are most common household pests.

They can live without food and water for 3 months, and around 4 weeks without their head. Some can live around 45 minutes without air, and most of all they can even survive a nuclear attack.
