Do cockroaches eat leather and wood?

Yes, cockroaches can eat leather and wood, though they primarily feed on organic matter such as food scraps, paper, and decaying plant material. They are not directly attracted to leather or wood, but they can consume them if they are made from organic materials or if they contain oils and other substances. Additionally, some species may chew on wood to obtain cellulose, which aids in their digestion. Overall, while not their preferred food source, cockroaches can damage leather and wood items in their search for sustenance.
