How long can roaches survive without sunlight?

Roaches can survive for months without sunlight, as they are primarily nocturnal and thrive in dark environments. They can endure prolonged periods without light due to their ability to adapt to various habitats, seeking shelter in cracks and crevices. Their survival is more dependent on access to food and water rather than sunlight. In ideal conditions, some species can live for up to a year without food, but will typically perish without water within a week or two.
