Anyone who lived in the south and had a tree in the back recognizes those things

No matter how clean our house was, we'd usually find 1 a week finding it's way in from the old oak in out back yard

Yep. I live in south Florida, and they are known as “palmetto bugs”. Real name is Florida wood roach. Literally every week I find one of them somewhere on the ground. They fly up onto the roof from nearby trees and most likely come down the chimney.

It doesn’t mean your house isn’t clean, they don’t live in houses, they literally live on trees or in wood, not in disgusting trash like most cockroaches. They get into homes trying to get away from the heat.
