If you bought a house next to a hotel that has cockroaches, do you think they would spread to your house ?

Say it was about 12-15 ft away
in the uk

Yes absolutely. Nasty little fuckers. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Sorry but theyre probably already in the walls

Yes. Apparently they can survive an apocalypse.

I expect they are already in the house.

I would assume they were already there.

Why ? Do you think they spread that far ? Do they travel that far ?

Yes

They can thrive outdoors especially during hot weather, so yes they could well end up travelling.

Yes

Yep, we had them from next door in an old terrace house years ago. It was an absolute nightmare and nothing got rid of them. We moved out (rented).

Do NOT watch a 90s movie called Pacific Heights. 😱

Because that’s what cockroaches do. Yes they spread that far. Yes they travel that far.

Both this property and the hotel will need regular ongoing, professional, pest control and this isn’t cheap. Cockroaches are a health hazard, I would run for the hills myself.

Not only are they already in the house, but if the hotel has not dealt with them even if you clear your house they would just come back. For cockroaches in a hotel to be known about means it is a big cockroach problem.

Yes they do, they’re very resilient. I wouldn’t buy a house next to somewhere that has cockroaches.

Do you know what type? There is a difference.

Possibly German cockroaches

Yes I've seen reviews from this hotel and guests photos

One review said there was af least 30 they saw I there room, so certainly not an isolated one

Yep. Avoid that one!
