I've only seen a cockroach once and while it was gross, I wasn't that phased by it. Rats and mice freak me out the most.

Give me a room filled with spiders over one cockroach any day.
I'm with you there I cannot stand cockroaches, they make my skin crawl & I physically shiver when I see one, just vile In the UK we had mice in our house & I'd rather them or anything than disgusting cockroaches! And yes just when you think they are horrid enough, they then start to fly about...

I'd rather a cockroach than a spider honestly.....at least cockroaches aren't aggressive or sting you. They're just gross lol but not really scary. The ones that fly are scary though, mostly because they're unpredictable.

Winland: no cockroaches, no stinkbugs, no bedbugs (mostly), no malaria, no aedes aegypti, no rattlesnakes, no pythons, no alligators, no cobras, no zika, very few wolf spiders and no poison ivy.

Why? Because we'll rather shovel snow than alligators.

Our biggest nuisances are hyperaggressive wasps and horse-flies who gets nuts because of the massive change of daylight. And ticks of course, but you'll have them too.

Yeah, I don't like roaches but they're not as scary as a spider of comparable size.

Nice. I don't think I could give up my hot summers, though.

Have you seen a wolf spider in person?

Once in a while. But they don't get as big as seen in the video before. And if you use a newspaper you'll get the spiderlings which she is carrying at the same time. Blast the newspaper on the spider and stomp on it.

Well, the biggest problem here would be wasps and hornets, but otherwise there's not much to be concerned about.
