Question
Based on the text for roaches eating: 1. Identify abiotic factors that support the survival and reproduction of the pest and why the pest needs this factors.
Roaches Eating Three of the most common roaches in the U.S. are the German cockroach, the American cockroach and the brown banded cockroach. These species eat just about anything, whether it's other insects, fruits and vegetables, or garbage. But roaches are most attracted to starches, sweets, greasy food and meat products. Cockroaches are omnivores. Although they can survive several months without food, roaches will eat anything that has nutritional value. They are especially attracted to starch, sugar, grease, meat and cheese. Decaying food items are particularly delicious for a hungry roach in search of his next meal. These household pests are often attracted to very strong smells, such as garbage or compost, but can quickly find small crumbs or a drop of grease. In times of an organic food shortage, cockroaches will eat household items, such as book bindings, cardboard, toothpaste, leather, glue, paper scraps, solid soaps, starch-based paints and wallpaper, dried human skin flakes and nylon clothing. These insects have a digestive tract with a variety of protozoa and bacteria that allows them to feast on non-food items. When in the absence of humans, cockroaches will eat plants, other insects, decaying matter, animal feces, dead trees and dead bodies. They will occasionally resort to cannibalism, eating their own young, other roaches or the bodies of their deceased comrades. Give thanks for centipedes, ants, frogs, lizards, snakes, and even scorpions. These predators love nothing more than catching and eating roaches. Mice treat roaches like a chocolate bunny; they bite off the head, work their way down through the body, and discard the tough legs and wings.
