Do Roach Bite Humans
Do roaches bite humans is a good question with a surprising answer - rarely. It's funny that one of the most dreaded bugs rarely feeds on people. It's food that cockroaches are seeking. Roaches will typically head for the kitchens or other areas where food is stored. However, if the pantry's locked up tight they will keep searching. One risk for getting bit if you are carrying a source of food. Small amounts of food left on unwashed hands or around the mouth can attract a cockroach. If present, you risk getting bit when the bug eats the food. That's just one more reason to wash your hands and brush your teeth before bedtime!
