Haven't seen a cockroach in a decade.
Not so hot as they were hyped up to be during the 70's and 80's.

Cockroaches infest all urban areas. If you’re around a dense population of humans, you got them. If you’re in the US south, you got them. If you’re in the hood, you got lots of them. If you’re in an area with lots of transient people, you’re near them.
My dad was a fireman. I recall him describing an apartment fire where they encountered a “moving wall” in a stairwell, a 5ft square cluster of roaches trying to escape the flame. When they ran into situations like that, they removed their gear and rode back in their underwear if necessary.
Not in all urban areas - they're really not very common in the UK. There's only a couple of smaller species here and they're pretty rare so that people may have never seen one.
Then my mother moved in and I had to put her stuff in the garage.
Now I have roaches and I can't seem to get rid of them myself. I need to contact a bug guy. I hope I can be rid of this infestation.
