    Roaches don’t survive in my climate, bring 'em on. (Also, millennials have no idea what it’s like to own a home so what’s an “attic”?)

    A person. It’s your property and you can have the police come and evict them. Very easy to do.

    Roaches on the other hand…

    A few hundred dollars will take care of the roach problem

    The human is the biggest wild card situation yet and you’re immediately going into fight or flight no matter what

          Lol.

          All the person has to do to avoid arrest is be calm and assertive; if he insists that you invited him, that he paid you rent, that it’s his house, here’s the police response:

          “That’s a civil matter, you’re going to have to call a lawyer.”

          If he’s competent, he may even have a deed with the town’s seal already in it. Anyone can file anything in the land records. It’s up to title holders to protect their titles and clear any fraudulent entries.

            While true, if they’re “living” there, they’re most likely in the attic or crawl space or something. Or they have no items of their own. Anything is possible and there are always outliers, but the chances are pretty low they got set up enough to convince people they’re legitimately there.

            P.s. going to check my basement…

    Only a hard choice if you’ve never dealt with roaches. 1000 roaches is enough to convince me that the house would never be free of them ever, roaches are incredible in the way they survive and thrive. Unless you made sure you killed every single last one and their offspring, you ain’t getting rid of them.

    At least I know how to kill the roaches and dispose of the bodies. Plus, no one cares if I kill the roaches.

    I live in an apartment building, I’ll take the person. Roaches won’t stick to the attic.
