You can ask someone in Minnesota if they have a roach problem. They'll say, 'Yes, I have a terrible infestation. You'll set out traps and catch maybe one roach. Then, you can ask someone in Costa Rica if they have a roach problem. They'll say no, but there will be about three dozen roaches right there on the wall.

A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study counted the German cockroaches in 1,000 low-income apartments in Gainesville, Fla., and found the median number per unit was 13,000. On average, a female cockroach will produce more than 35,000 young each year.
