3 years of living there and I just could not get rid of them.

Hired an exterminator, used multiple different pest control companies, they still kept showing up.

It's not the German variant, it's the American ones which makes it even more odd.

They kept managing to get through the cracks and crevices. Granted they are pretty harmless but hearing one scuttling around in the middle of the night to wake you up is pretty traumatizing. They probably range from one to two and a half inches long.

Whatever, made 40k in equity and going back to renting.

Is your condo attached to other condos?

I had a condo on the bottom floor and my neighbor had one above me. They were filthy as fuck and would attract cockroaches all the time. I moved out after 2 years cuz fuck that >_>

Nope, they do an inspection but luckily none were found.

**** cockroaches. I had a problem similar to you, except I typically found them dying on their backs. I'll never forget the time I woke up in the middle of the night to find a GIANT 3-inch cockroach in my kitchen sink, or that one time I accidentally stepped on one once early in the morning...ugh. Traumatizing indeed.

UGH triggering a bunch of bad memories.

Even with hiring an exterminators, you just end up finding a bunch of dead ones or ones that are dying slowly. Resilient bastards.
