Do Roaches Offer Any Benefit?

Everything in nature is interconnected, and even scavengers like vultures have their place in the natural order. Roaches do, too. They’re nature’s recyclers, mopping up wastes, eating decaying plants and manure, and generally helping to break down natural elements. Although inside your home they’re more harmful than helpful, they do have their place in the world’s ecosystem alongside other insects that help break down decaying matter into components that nature can use to rebuild.
