I know that roaches carry salmonella bacteria and cause asthma, but what kind of physical damage can they do to a home?  For example, I have some beuatiful antique tables and a Queen Anne schoolmaster’s desk which have completely infested these items. (our condo allowed a broken pipe to remain unrepaired for six months thus creating an open invitation to roaches.  They have been in our building for 3 years, and the condo association refuses to address it even though it is their responsibility.)
Anyway, I have been duly appointed to discuss this issue with the association. I would like some facts regarding damage from cockroaches to the interior walls.  If roaches are damaging my furniture, they have to be hurting the wooden frame of our building.
