Hey, I live in Florida where the cockroach is the
state insect! I can
tell you for a fact that they eat EVERYTHING! If you think they only eat
human food then it's obvious that you've never lived in an area that has
roaches!
I have seen cloth covered wires stripped bare by
roaches!
I remember reading a specific article on this very subject and it went
as far as to identify the various insects and their favorite electronic
unit's comound, I thought it was silver fish that went for insulation
but I could be wrong... Anyone else ever heard of this article... (I
pick up sooo much trivia I have a hard time remembering the source...)

I've never heard of that article but if you ever find it, I'd love to
read it. Around here, silverfish go for paper. Especially old books for
some reason. You'll find them between the pages munching away and the
roaches will be eating the covers off.
