Higher temperatures from 28 degrees Celsius onwards accelerate cockroach reproduction, leading to their increased presence in homes. These nocturnal pests spread allergens through droppings and body fragments, which can trigger asthma and respiratory issues in sensitive individuals. Research indicates that a significant percentage of urban residents with asthma are allergic to cockroaches.

“From 28 degree Celcious onwards, cockroaches multiply their reproduction speed,”
he adds, hence in recent years,
the increasingly higher temperatures have favoured the pest’s expansion. "Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that hide away during the day but come out at night, roaming everywhere in search of food. They spread throughout the home—from the kitchen and bathroom to bookshelves and even bedrooms. As they move, they leave behind droppings, shed wings, and body fragments. These fragments and droppings contain allergens that can trigger asthma and other respiratory issues in sensitive individuals." "Asthma can have many causes, but cockroach allergens in indoor environments are one of the major triggers. In the United States, research has shown that between 23% to 60% of urban residents with asthma are allergic to cockroaches."
