Do roaches feel pain?

As someone who has managed home pest control for years, I know they react to negative stimuli, but biologically they don't have a complex brain to feel emotional pain. Just use quick-acting traps to keep it humane if you must get rid of them.

I recently had to deal with a massive infestation and read up on this. They do have nociceptors to detect physical harm, so they definitely feel physical stress when injured.

In our yoga practice, we try to minimize harm to all living beings. Keeping our home environment clean and dry naturally prevents pests from entering, avoiding any need for painful chemical sprays.

I agree that they feel physical stimuli. Using natural repellents like peppermint oil is a good way to keep them away without killing them.

They definitely react to threat, but practically speaking, we have to maintain hygiene in our kitchens to protect our kids from disease. Just use standard gel baits which are efficient and mess-free.

All living creatures have some form of consciousness and sensory awareness to protect themselves. Let us try to keep our living spaces clean naturally so we don't have to harm them.
