The poor cockroach has been called "The most reviled creature on the face of earth.". Nobody loves him-Except maybe another cockroach. Fiction, Non-fiction and poetry are replete with degratory references to these ubiquitous bugs. Public health officials are quick to indict the insects as carriers of viruses that cause yellow fever and polio. Although past evidence has been somewhat nebulous, recent studies also show that an allergy to roaches may contribute significantly to asthma. LIttle wonder, therefore, the pesky littlecockroach is attacked.
