Treating the question seriously, I think it is easy to think the one person is the right choice, because it just seems like less of a mess to deal with. However, I also think the end result is that you will never feel safe in your home again. You will always second guess if every squeak you hear is yet another person who somehow have made it into your house. This is the path towards slowly descending into madness.
Even if you got rid of the 1000 roaches. You'll always think there are a ton up there. There could be 10,000 in a couple of months after you get "rid" of the 1000.
You can physically make it impossible for a person to get in your attic. You can't do that with roaches.
I’m just amazed you think person is the obvious choice, because my immediate thought is that roaches are way less likely to murder me and thus the obvious choice.
And also, if you've seen one roach in your attic, you probably already have a thousand of them anyway.
