Are cockroaches more common in the south?

Question

I live in London Ontario (around 2 hours northeast of detroit) and hardly anyone has cockroaches here. I took a trip to Texas and saw a few.. One in Juicy Couture, one in another store, and one in our 5* hotel. There were clean clean clean places, but the cockroaches were big... Saw one just run across the floor in each place (thank god it was in the hotel lobby and not my room)..

I was told by my coworker that in places like texas, california, and florida, cockroaches are supercommon... Is this true?

Cockroaches really only affect people living in the slums here...

Answer 1

Answer 2

Cockroaches CAN live anywhere.  They PREFER to live where it's warm, hence if you do see them up north, they are in buildings.  Down south they can travel outside and can move about a little better.

Answer 3

They are cosmopolitan.
