cockroaches

If you aren’t a fan of mosquitoes– or cockroaches, rodents or rattlesnakes– things are about to get a whole lot less pleasant. Here’s why climate change is keeping pest management professionals busy across the U.S.

The space agency has asked Boston-based RR Auction to halt the sale of moon dust collected during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission that had subsequently been fed to cockroaches during an experiment to determine if the lunar rock contained any sort of pathogen that posed a threat to terrestrial life.

ThePestInformer in Raleigh is “willing to pay homeowners $2,000” for the 30-day study and is looking to release the cockroaches in five to seven homes across the U.S.

Hundreds of cockroaches were released during an altercation that broke out at an arraignment in a New York courthouse Tuesday, shutting down the courthouse for the remainder of the day for fumigation.
