Are pests common in homes in your country? Here in the US, cockroaches like the one in my pic are very common. They are known as German roaches, and are impossoble to fully erradicate.

I found one in my kitchen about three years ago but nothing since then. Then yesterday I walked in and the fucker was inside a glass.

Fortunately not common.

Never seen a roach IRL.

Fairly common in Florida

Never seen one in NC or Massachusetts.

Rats were everywhere when I was in Italy. It was kind of disgusting.

Then again, I stayed in a hostel, so that might be why.
>>
>>52561556
Maybe because it's so cold in Finland. But I live near Chicago and they're still a problem.

>>52561642
I keep my house and kitchen very clean, that has nothing to do with it. The German roaches can feed off anything (glue on stickers, single grain of sugar, etc.). Although if you keep your house too dirty their population will reach infestation levels, such as the video you saw in the OP.

For some reason a lot of people don't know that cockroaches can fly.

German roaches like the one in my pic can't. Their wings are just there but useless. But if you Google them you'll find out they're worse.

I think the one in OP's pic is actually an American cockroach. They're the biggest, and can actually fly. I've seen it with my own eyes. Tried to kill one that was high on the wall with a broom, and the fucker actually flew for about 20 feet and got away.

if you dont take precautions roaches will start to appear
theres this company called fedora, yes amusing

all they do is spray some chemical around the hall in the corners and under the kitchen sink every 2 months
never see one

there was an epidemic a few floors below us because they thought they dont need chemicals
>>
Thats why you want to live in somewhere that actually has winters or doesn't have much water. All these fucking bugs die off.

Also this^. Stop killing all your spiders spiders are out bros. I always leave the wolf spiders and huntsman alive. I have 1 that lives in my room i call him Mr exterminator.

rats are everywhere where there is garbage
if their population is low you wont see them, if its not kept in check by nature/humans they will crawl out of the toilet, not even joking

Roaches and spiders are a very common thing down south way.

In India, you also see ants, geckos and a lot of moths in houses. The tropical countries have the worst insect problems.

They're really small and not gross at all. American cockroaches on the other hand are huge, and leave turds as big as a mice turds. You can hear them crawling around.

Spiders are always the best solution!

People have bug pests because they kill all the spiders in their house. My Norwegian grandmother always told me spiders are good luck.

Only kill house browns recluses(extremely rare its called recluse for a reason most people are misidentifying) and widows.

Always let the Wolf spiders live!

Doesn't work though, especially for bigger ones who can't even fit. The best solution is roach gel bait. I used to see at least 3 cockroaches per night, until I used gel bait. Got rid of most of them. I heard that they can develop an immunity after a while though. Those animals are disgusting, but clever as fuck.

Can you domesticate tarantulas?

Get them used to wearing a ribbon or something and let them roam the house like a cat? I'd prefer a few of those to roaches tbqh, and I'm not a spider friendly person.

I've never seen a cockroach in Canada outside of insect exhibits and crap. We do get silverfish, but house centipedes kill those off pretty quickly then my cat kills the house centipede and it's a perfect system. I've never lived in the ghetto though or had a dirty house/apartment though

In the south of France they are common, with the heathenings they will move here aswell I think

The only time I've ever seen cockroaches was in Turkey (hehe) when I was a kid.

There were a few roaches in our hotel room and it was kinda annoying to wake up seeing one climbing on your leg.

silverfish or w/e theyre called and cockroaches, I had an infestation last year and im super clean
the problem is that if you live in an appartment (like %90 of europe) it takes only one dirty motherfucker for them to infest

My house is infested with these. I live in a national park most of the year, and as part of a university study I also monitor these endangered things. They're more or less harmless, but fucking huge (can way heavier than birds). We have food for them set out so they breed like rabbits.
