The Myth About Where Cockroaches Lay Eggs
WouterThe location where cockroaches lay their eggs is crucial for the success of the hatching process. Often, female cockroaches carry their ootheca for a few days before laying the eggs. If the eggs are not deposited soon enough, they may dry out and the nymphs may not emerge. In some species, the female may even leave the egg case in a safe place before the nymphs emerge.
The most common places for cockroaches to lay their eggs are the bathroom and kitchen. These areas are also often places where there is food and water available. Cockroaches tend to lay their eggs in these areas because they prefer a moist, warm environment. However, there is a widespread myth about where cockroaches lay their eggs. The myth has been around for decades, and was probably created because of a misunderstanding about the egg sac.
Cockroaches lay their eggs in a number of places, including kitchens, bathrooms, attics, and basements. A female cockroach will leave her eggs close to a source of food, such as a sink, drain, or cabinet. Cockroaches tend to leave their oothecae close to a source of water or food, so the location of the nest is easy to find.
Cockroaches are also attracted to wood, so a wooden table is a great place for them to lay their eggs. They also like to lay their eggs in dark corners of furniture, such as in cabinets. If you find cockroaches on your clothes, they are likely living in the drawer.
