Yeah, they bite.

I mean, it doesn't hurt, really.

But, like, it was enough to, like, wake me up.

Like, oh, what is that?

Yeah.

And so, like, I don't like cockroaches either.

I have a lot of...

compassion for people that are dealing with infestations, because some of them can be very, very bad.

And yeah, kill them.

The things that I would normally recommend are

Just clean up as best you can.

Try to close any little gaps, especially in plumbing, that are leading into the place where the infestation is.

And run a dehumidifier after you do all that.

Because cockroaches are not very good at retaining water.

So they dry out pretty quickly.

So those things might not kill an infestation, but it could significantly reduce an infestation.

Well, cockroaches, particularly the American cockroach, is pretty water resistant and they can swim.

They don't probably want to be swimming, but they can.

And their cuticle is pretty water repellent.

They can probably get through short distances of water pretty easily.
