      I lived in Florida for a couple years and they have the largest cockroaches I have every seen. Actually I think they have the largest bugs in all of the USA. I remember seeing large millipedes with stout pincers just walking on the ground. The house I was living in at the time I had to have sprayed because the neighbors next door's house was trashed. The exterminator told me that he would never eat Chinese food in that town because he's seen the worst infections ever at one of those locations.

        With it's environment, that wouldn't surprise me. From what I've always heard, Florida, South Carolina and Texas all give each other a pretty good run for their money.

              @mediamogul yeah back in '88 when i was a kid a 3" cockroach ran up my arm. I was traumatized and have hated them so much because of it.

                Luckily I've never had any roaches in my systems, but I did find a dead spider and its web in my SNES after opening it up for the first time in 20 years.

                        @itsnitro yes. I have opened several with roaches. All systems that have vents are potential roach motels. Heat and dark space. Everything they love.
