Go to the USA Southern States if you want to see cockroaches. Holy shit, man! The warm weather and humidity are like steroids to them. They get as big as a mouse, and they don't care if you have the cleanest building in the world, they're still going to invade and wake you from your sleep by crawling on your face.

Those American Cockroaches don't breed indoors though. They are transients and are relatively benign compared to the German roaches which will fine the single square mm of your home without pest treatment and then evolve resistance to it.
