    A few hundred dollars will take care of the roach problem

    The human is the biggest wild card situation yet and you’re immediately going into fight or flight no matter what

    Only a hard choice if you’ve never dealt with roaches. 1000 roaches is enough to convince me that the house would never be free of them ever, roaches are incredible in the way they survive and thrive. Unless you made sure you killed every single last one and their offspring, you ain’t getting rid of them.

    At least I know how to kill the roaches and dispose of the bodies. Plus, no one cares if I kill the roaches.

    I live in an apartment building, I’ll take the person. Roaches won’t stick to the attic.

    Person

    Maybe if it was 10 roaches?

    Person otherwise

    Do we even know if this person has outside connections?

    Maybe I can hire them pennies on the dollar

    I would force them to do the work that I loathe doing when I web Dev, repeatedly making pages or posts or whatever, they get a home and wage I get to live happy

    a person, I only have to exterminate one large thing vs 1000 tiny things that could potentially crawl up my pee hole in my sleep.

    no thanks.

        doesn’t matter, they love warm moist dark cracks.

        that’s why they’re called cockroaches

          No it isn’t. Cockroach is derived from the Spanish “cucaracha” which comes from “cuca” which means “butterfly caterpillar” and is apparently onomatopoeic in origin.

          Also the idea of them crawling into your urethra is a myth like earwigs and ears.

            I don’t speak Spanish I only know American and I know we call them cockroaches.

            idk how narrow Spanish urethras are, but it’s a real problem over here in the USA. I’ve had to put tape on the tip of my penis when I go to sleep since I can remember just to keep the little cocksuckers out of my penis.
