ChatGPT is telling me to go to Antarctica. Not sure about the cost of living there. And besides, I don't think their food game all that.

Seriously though, where have you spent a considerable amount of time and seen no roaches (the American and German types)?

Bolivia or Peru in the mountains

Northern canada. Barely any bugs here! Cost of living can stay quite low if you go off grid.

roaches are normal. It doesn't matter how wealthy, if the climate is roach friendly then they will get in. Why don't you try to relax a bit?

Hey you know, you can actually take simple steps to keep roaches out of your home, even in tropical climates. I mean yeah you will still occasionally see the odd one no matter how careful you are, but since I got all my measures in place I very rarely see one. I have a pretty bad phobia of them too.

Well, what are your measures?

[–] oMondoPondo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

be very fucking clean and put sticky roach poison in all the hidden corners like under sinks and behind pipes

Mauritius i didn't see any roaches. The lizards probably eat them. Lol

Mars. Except if you bring one over there, they might evolve.

Either chatGPT is trolling or Antarctica COL just dropped

I get a pest spray for my small house, costs 1500 for 6 months. Rarely do i find a roach, and if i do its dead already.

Get a bearded dragon. They eat roaches, and they're cute.
