Hey, I live in Florida where the cockroach is the
state insect! I can
tell you for a fact that they eat EVERYTHING! If you think they only eat
human food then it's obvious that you've never lived in an area that has
roaches!
I have seen cloth covered wires stripped bare by
roaches!
I remember reading a specific article on this very subject and it went
as far as to identify the various insects and their favorite electronic
unit's comound, I thought it was silver fish that went for insulation
but I could be wrong... Anyone else ever heard of this article... (I
pick up sooo much trivia I have a hard time remembering the source...)
