The roaches. At least you know their true nature, not surprising to find them there and, in days of high frustration, one can go up and stomp a few for that crunchy sound of bug demise.
Look at this guy, he doesn't comprehend the true nature of man or like human crunch.
Human Crunch sounds like the dollar store version of Captain Crunch.
Sounds like you've never had the misfortune of being somewhere with a roach infestation.
People can get sick from roach feces from just a few roaches, especially if you have asthma; having 1000 would be really bad
Ive dealt with a few though, its not really as bad or as hard as most people think. Its just about being thorough and sustained, you arent going to get them all in one hit. It just takes a few months of regularly repeating the basics of bombing, baits and spray.
I would consider anything that takes months to fix to be pretty bad.
You just need to bug bomb every few weeks. Its not hard labour.
Or maybe they already have a roach infestation because they live in filth and don't care.
No way, you won't be able to get the roaches out nearly as easy as the person
Poison. The house will be uninhabitable for a week, but they’ll be gone.
And that's easier than just grabbing a dude by the neck and throwing them out?
Depends on the dude.
Even if you need help from a friend, that's still easier than getting roaches out
Dude, roaches can fly...
Depends on the ambient temperature, no? I was under the understanding that roaches don't typically fly in northern states because it's colder.
Just the fact that they can is enough for me to avoid them. Ain't showing up with a thermometer to see if they decide to fly today 😔
Personally, I’d go for the person. Roach phobia entirely not factoring in here.
My attic is over a detached garage. If someone can access that space somehow, and wants to live there, whatever. It’s roomy enough to be fairly comfortable, tho you can’t stand up straight, and it’s insulated with electric outlets, so I’m not suuuuper likely to find a frozen person in spring. Not great, but as long as they don’t leave a mess or whatever, meh, doesn’t harm me any beyond electrical use. I probably wouldn’t even find out about it for a long time, since I never go up there; the ladder is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and I can’t be bothered to replace it.
Roaches, however, would not stay contained to the garage. That’s a deal-breaker.
