Where cockroaches hide

The cockroach’s cryptic nature, which include being most active at night, the ability to scurry away from danger and suddenly disappear on ledges, and to survive on anything available for them to feed on, contributed much to their importance as pests of both residential kitchens and commercial establishments.
