‘Cockroach’ encompasses a wide range of species, the majority of which have no interest in living in a human’s home, and contribute to the work of decomposition on the forest floor. Many smaller predators also eat them.
well let’s get rid of those 10 then, the other 2990 should be able to pick up whatever positive effect those 10 species have without building nests and swarming our homes
Cockroaches… as far as I’m aware, they don’t contribute anything to the eco system, they’re just pests.
Unfortunatelly, not even a nuclear war can erradicate them 😒.

OK, just the pest ones then 😁.
I’m on board with that 👍
Some pests (not only cockroaches) keeps the sewage unclogged by consuming solids.

Just learned recently that there are over 3000 species of cockroaches and about 10 are invasive to humans.

That’s really only German cockroaches that are colony roaches. At least in my region.
That’s an incredible statistic. Where did you learn that?
