Just learned recently that there are over 3000 species of cockroaches and about 10 are invasive to humans.

That's an incredible statistic. Where did you learn that?

I was watching the streamer piratesoftware who before he became a programmer/hacker was in college for entomology.

well let's get rid of those 10 then, the other 2990 should be able to pick up whatever positive effect those 10 species have without building nests and swarming our homes

That's really only German cockroaches that are colony roaches. At least in my region.
