Cockroach Free Lives

[Kalam]

I fucking hate cockaroaches. Unfortunately, I've lived in hot, humid cities for most of my life. I need some places to fantasize about that don't have this villainous vermin. And before you suggest keeping all food in tightly sealed containers, immaculately cleaning your living space, etc...I know...my strong dislike of cockroaches has led me to do a lot of things. Including fostering the growth of spiders in state that has both the brown recluse and the black widow. If there's some brand of pesticide you'd like to share, I'd like to hear about that, though. Or some measure that's not common knowledge.

So...what's a good place to live a cockaroach free life?

I've lived in Washington state for a long time now, never seen a cockroach once.  I guess it's a fair trade considering we have huge earwig and large house spider populations...

Besides some tiny orangeshelled bugs that fly and a few minor spiders there aren't really no insects in Denmark.

I have never seen a cockroach not in a cage in Minnesota (though I've heard about some in crappy apartment buildings- they're definitely here, they're everywhere). We do get a lot of ticks and mosquitos for the entire summer though, not to mention god damn CHIGGERS.

I don't think I've ever seen a cockroach in Saskatchewan. But earlier this year I went to the states and ended up spending a couple of nights in some really awful hotels on the road, and a trailer park in Alabama. That was sure a different experience! It gave me more of an appreciation for the insects here though, even if they are all out to steal my blood. At least I don't have to deal with cockroaches, scorpions, or stupid poisonous spiders!

Funny thing is, last night I dreamt about cockroaches being all around me, coming from my mouth, ears and stuff. Silly nightmare

You should come and live in Greece, because of the crisis, we eat cockroaches.

It's me or cockroaches only exist in North America ? I've never seen even one outside a terrarium.

I've seen them in Spain and the Canary Islands. Don't recall ever seeing one in the UK though, probably not warm/humid enough.

I've been to Spain a lot (although not in the most humid/warm places) and I've never seen one. However I admit the average hygiene would let one think there might be cockroaches everywhere.

Well I've mainly been to southern Spain where it's probably hotter and I imagine you are more likely to get them in some places than others depending on the hygiene levels. I think the most I had seen were in Gran Canaria, fucking everywhere out there, atleast they were many years ago when I went, fuckers got up into our apartment and everything. Couldn't go out at night without stepping on a bunch of them.

I've squashed one in my kitchen a week ago.

I've never seen one in my area either.
