It is often said that if there was ever a nuclear war, cockroaches would be the animal that would reign supreme since they are so hard to kill. These pesky pests are frustrating and can make even the worst situations comfortable. Cockroaches are empirically one of the most resilient and despised pests on the planet.
Despite our best efforts to eradicate them, they seem to thrive in even the harshest conditions. From surviving nuclear radiation to developing resistance to pesticides, these creatures have earned a reputation for being nearly impossible to exterminate. But why exactly are cockroaches so hard to kill?
