As If Florida Does Not Have Enough Bugs
Florida – land of temperate weather and a never-ending growing season. And yes, lots of bugs that thrive in our moist, warm state.
And now, University of Florida researchers say we should be on guard for several new species of cockroaches that have entered the state via lizard owners who buy them to feed their pets.
When those cockroaches escape, they breed happily and quickly in our warm environment. The breeds experts say Floridians need to be on the lookout for are: the Madagascar hissing cockroach, the Turkestan cockroach, lobster roach, and the orange spotted roach. Although Florida has banned the sale of new roach varieties for 20 years now, but the internet has made them easy for pet owners to obtain.
