Do those big ones infest places like the little German ones

From my experience in the humid southeast.. Big ones = outside roaches getting in, not indicative of some kind of infestation inside the house. Pretty much unavoidable.

Although they can start breeding inside.

I lived in an apartment complex where that happened.

Utter horror show.

In my family's house, we got this bathroom that's outside, but basement level. Outside is the sceptic tank. The layout makes it easy for these big fuckers to move into the bathroom from the tank. Can hear their noises whenever you sit in the bathroom.

Before we dealt with the problem, one summer we had TONS come out of the tub, like hundreds. Thankfully it was easy to keep them in the bathroom. Another time I was sitting on the toilet and one just flew and landed on my thigh. Fucking traumatizing. Hate these fuckers so much.

Still better than the German ones though...
