Considering that they are not deprived of oxygen, cockroaches can stay alive without any air supply for about 40 minutes under the right circumstances. If time goes beyond that, they will simply suffocate and die. Vacuuming cockroaches, though, is by far the least effective way to deal with cockroaches since they might find an escape path to get out of this situation.

Cockroaches, as you already might guess, are incredibly resilient, and for this reason alone, the mere sight of a cockroach might send shivers on one’s back.

Especially at night, cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that are active by night and stay inactive during the daytime. This is why so many people catch them when they are convened at the kitchen countertop at night.
Whenever they get startled they scramble and make a run for it. It turns out that
cockroaches have the same ick when they see us and will rather avoid all human interaction.
There are several species of cockroaches, but the most feared one is the American cockroach. It is the biggest cockroach out of all domestic cockroaches that people will often come across. They breed rapidly and can lay 16 eggs per ootheca and can spawn about 800 or more cockroaches in a year. Cockroaches will also breed with each other, and this can easily shoot the numbers up.
There are tons of ways a cockroach gets in the house. The cockroach’s exoskeleton allows for incredible flexibility where it can get by openings only 3mm wide.

It is why older structures, especially in older parts of the city are more at risk due to the many entry points that a cockroach can exploit.
