The person. It doesn't even say of it's alive or dead, if it's someone you know or not, if it's someone who also lives in the house or not.

A thousand cockroaches is a lot

Fine, you get a corpse full of 1000 cockroaches 🪳

Congrats!

Roaches don't have squatters rights.

Person seems solvable

A person, she/he will be staying there nice and tight 🪢

Fun one. I grew up in trailers and we had roaches. Id wake up with them crawling all over. Turn on a light and up the walls they go. Now I’m a behavior therapist and I’d take the person who obviously means me no harm over skittering ass bugs. There’s nothing that says they have to stay either or that they can’t be helped :)

As someone who had bedbugs, I'd rather wrestle a person than ever see a bug in my place that isn't a spider again.

I mean. With roaches you could always hire an exterminator. Not so with a person.

I guess you could call the cops, they really like killing people.

My attic is over the detached garage, so I’d choose person hands down.

I probably wouldn’t know for a really long time, because I don’t use that space (the ladder up there is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and since I don’t use it, I’m not about to replace it) it stays decently warm up there so less concern about finding a frozen corpse, and if someone did croak in the garage, the smell wouldn’t permanently be in the house.

But roaches would find their way into the house.

After the summer we have been having if I found a person I my attic they would not be found living.

I legit used to farm cockroaches in bins in my garage to sell online to reptile owners. I'll take the cockroaches.

Id rather find a person. Finding them implies i was looking for them all along right? Haha
