LOL yes, they are!

Or maybe it's the lack of humidity. Either way lol.

I think they do better in warmer temps. I lived in FL and saw many of those houses totally covered in tarps, and learned that was their extermination procedure there, cover it, bomb it, and leave it sealed up for a few days. Was told the giant roaches there lived up in the trees, and would come down into the homes. Roaches are all around in the woods, especially around dead fallen limbs/trees etc, and I have thick woods all around me, but no roaches at the house. (knock on wood haha!) Walmart has gallon sized sprays for different crawly critters for around ten bux, which is plenty enough to spray inside and out. In TN I'd use those bug bomb things to kill the sand fleas which came from nowhere about twice a year. A couple of years ago a friend(uhmmm, kinda) left some chickens here, and a couple weeks later, some ducks(i meant to say we once were friends lol), and they are all penned out back at night, but roam freely during the day. When the chickens first got here, there was a hek of a cricket population, even beginning to invade the house, but they all soon disappeared, along with, to a great extent, the hordes of grasshoppers. When I first placed an ad for outside scrap(i'd begun with only the things that had accumulated around on the farm over a hundred years) three things I picked up on that first run were contaminated with roaches, and I had a feeling at least one was before getting it back here, so decided then my scrapping would have to be distant from the house, and began by unloading out behind the old barn, and clearing a working area there. Sure enough, a microwave, a dishwasher, and the TV I had suspected, were all inhabited. I sprayed them with some old spray that was already here, and luckily haven't had anything else like that since, but still unload everything out there. If it's in there, and it chooses the house over the woods, and it gets by 16 ducks(yeah, they've multiplied), and 5 chickens, 2 country cats, and the dog, I'll introduce it to my fly swatter ; )
