Thanks for your comment! I looked it up on the web, and found this website, http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/cockroach_faq.html#Q23
The cockroach FAQ--everything you ever wanted, and didn't want, to know about cockroaches!

Under the question: "What are cockroaches good for?" was this answer:

"Cockroaches as a group are part of the worldwide food web. They are omnivore scavengers which clean up our environment and help recycle the organic litter that would accumulate if it were not decomposed by organisms which include cockroaches. Furthermore they serve as food for small mammals, birds, amphibians and lizards. There are over 3000 species of cockroaches and only 10 species are on the World Health Organization list of human pests. The other 3000 species are welcome members of the biodiversity on this planet."
