The situation with cockroaches is really interesting. In Ukraine, they are saying everywhere about the "exodus of the eternal tribe", both in Kiev, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. My opinion - general renovation, with a plentiful use of all sorts of chemicals. Well, judge for yourself: our food products do not pass any examination for the presence of various toxins, etc. Or maybe someone bought their child a Chinese toy from which it smells like a pesticide warehouse? What can we say about all sorts of paints, varnishes, adhesives and the like rubbish. Personally, at my house, cockroaches live and live in spite of everything, eat the same as I do, do not shy away from the mobile phone, and they are absolutely uninterested in explosions in the sun...(repairs were probably made in the early 90's).

Another version (I can't estimate the plausibility, I don't know the background). Direct source - mail.ru I just don't know where they came from (they don't provide any links). I leave the spelling as it is.

----------------------
The sudden disappearance of red cockroaches or Prussians from many places of their permanent habitat is alarming even to those who were greatly annoyed by them. The situation is very much like the escape of rats from a sinking ship. Moreover, old-timers remember the mass" exodus " of cockroaches in the late 30s.

There are many versions about the reasons for the disappearance of cockroaches:

1. Improving the sanitary condition in food warehouses and stores by improving the packaging of products.
2. Mass use of strong poisons with long-lasting effects.
3. Low-frequency noise of businesses and even the ringing of the bells of numerous restored churches.
4. Sharp odors from plastic products, furniture, wallpaper, linoleum.
5. The most plausible version is the disappearance of cockroaches due to high-frequency mobile communication. Moreover, in Russia, where the old GSM and GPRS standards apply, cockroaches were the victims. Other countries where third-generation standards are common (UMTS and CDMA 2000) are less fortunate – honeybees die en masse there.

However, experts report that there is no reason to worry: cockroaches just became less, but they did not disappear completely..

pest control specialists note,

that recently cockroaches in the capital's homes are being replaced by bedbugs. "Bedbugs populate apartments. Now there is an active settlement of bedbugs in medical institutions. We have the defeat of entire buildings in hospitals, we have the defeat of huge dormitories, where it is very difficult to organize a single-stage pest control from bedbugs, " said Natalia Lobanok, Deputy chief physician of the city disinfection center, head of disinfection station No. 1.

Lyudmila Rumyantseva, chief specialist of the Moscow City Disinfection Center, explained the decrease in the number of cockroaches by using effective modern preparations for treating premises.

In the 2000s, the number of cockroaches in the capital sharply decreased. They joked that they were "etched out by the Putin regime." But in the midst of the crisis, they came back again. According to scientists, a cockroach or any other synanthropic animal is very sensitive to changes in human life and society as a whole. The decline in the cockroach population in the middle of the decade was due to an increase in well-being. The center of Moscow began to be built up with offices, dilapidated houses were demolished on the outskirts. An unfavorable environment was created for cockroaches.

Disinsection took on a nationwide character. Cockroaches were violently poisoned by restaurants and supermarkets, furniture factories and dumpling factories. During the crisis, the company's sanitation costs were reduced, many areas became uninhabited, and some of them were inhabited by homeless people. In addition, the authorities ordered the regulatory authorities to loosen their grip. Thus, Moscow took a step back - and the cockroaches returned.

The fact of mass disappearance of domestic cockroaches in Russia is known. They leave or have already left most of the apartments and food halls of our country. They are quite difficult to find now in large cities. 5 years of my observations in St. Petersburg confirm this position - I have not seen a single cockroach. Anyone who is interested in this topic, I suggest a broad discussion on this issue. Information about your last encounter with these ancient insects will be very useful. Be sure to indicate the approximate date of the meeting, what kind of species you saw, whether it has disappeared now, whether you know where cockroaches are now preserved, etc.:

Hypothesis # 1 Radiation from cellular transmitters.
Chronologically, the mass extinction of cockroaches coincides with the beginning of the era of cellular telephony of the planet. The safety manual for working with a cellular Internet modem indicates a warning when working with it in warehouses with fuel and lubricants and LVH, gas stations. Is it possible that the radiation coming out of our cell phone tubes somehow affects the populations of these synanthropogenic invertebrates?
