Are cockroaches the new bed bugs in Winnipeg?
Taz Stuart of Poulin's Pest Control says there has been a huge spike in the number of German cockroaches being found in apartments around the city.
He says just like with bed bugs, anyone can end up with them and once they get established, one female can produce as many as 100,000 roaches within six months.
He says they are easily transferred from place to place and usually need to be dealt with by professional exterminators.
