I had roaches in my first apartment in Chicago. I had heard that if you have them once you'll always have them. Not sure where I heard this but the theory
is that they'll invade everything you own - like suitcases, boxes of stuff in storage, etc. - and you'll inadvertently carry them to your next place,
they'll multiply, and so on and so on. Thankfully, that was not the case for me, but it could be for you.

omg CBR...I just had a full body shudder thinking about that.
Something similar happened when I was helping tear out rocks and small boulders from underneath a 100 year old wooden porch at the ranch in NM. At least the roaches were smallish. but still...:nightmare |

however, I wouldn't let the dogs lick me for at least a day |

WHY WHY WHY would you shut the door and leave??? You've got to annihilate that fucker as soon as you see it. Otherwise it'll be there crawling, oozing,
eating dead skin, shitting, making babies, inviting its friends and make your life a living hell.
Now you've lost it and you won't be able to rest easy ever again. Maybe you'll start sleeping in your room again but one day, it will resurface and scare the shit out of you. And maybe you'll kill it or put a cup over it (my method of choice) just to contain it. And then you'll feel great cuz you got the bugger. But you don't know that for sure, do you??? You'll never know if you got the original one. And then madness sets in. Nice knowing you shrewlaura.

I went to a university that had motel-style dorm rooms that opened to the outside. Right before Christmas break after all the students had moved out, the
cleaning ladies accidentally let a feral cat into one of the rooms without knowing it. When the RA came back after a month had passed to check on all the
rooms, the cat ran out and the mess it had left was awful. It had lived on water in the toilet and cereal that the guys had in their room. It crapped
everywhere. I was so glad it wasn't my room.

could be worse. Rabid Squirrel was on campus my Freshmen year of college. Had animal control all over campus trying to catch the fucker. I'm surprised to hear about roach infestations in places like Chicago, one good thing about moving to the midwest was there seems to be few roaches anywhere--assumed because it was of the cold weather. I just have Field Crickets where I live.

I have a gross roach story.
It was my freshman year and I had an english class in a greenhouse. Yes, there was a classroom attached to a greenhouse on campus and I had my english class in there. So anyway, we were taking an exam one day so everyone is real quiet and writing away. Suddenly I feel a tickle on my neck. I go to scratch it, and a fucking ROACH falls off me onto the floor. It took every ounce of energy in me not to get up and shriek at the top of my lungs. I am not usually grossed out by bugs, and it was a pretty tiny roach, but it was ON me. It was very hard to finish the rest of the exam because I kept itching the spot where the roach was out of paranoia and I felt like my skin was crawling. Yucky.

I wonder how many other roaches were crawling on you that you didn't notice.

Those fucking roaches are everywhere. There are probably places in northern Canada and Siberia infested with roaches. And if there's ever a nuclear
holocaust, they will probably survive after everything else is dead.
However, I've never seen a palmetto bug or waterbug up here. Not to say there are none, but I haven't seen any. That is one thing I am not looking forward to if I relocate further south.

Roaches are the worst thing ever. We have all kinds in Georgia. The absolute worst are the tiny, bright red ones. They're horrific.
