Where I live now the only roaches I have EVER seen are my Giant Burrowing ones (Marcopanethsia sp) which live in a habitat on my dresser. Never had pantry moths down here, and its too cold for mice I suspect. Ants however seem to like my cupboards and I dont like them...so we wage war. However when I lived in Brisbane we had big roaches on a semi regular basis - Periplantia sp, which are technically outside roaches, so dont make me go ick. GERMAN roaches however (Blattica germanica) make me squirm big time and go into hyper OCD cleaning mode if I see them - dunno why, something about them makes me squirm. And if I seem over knowing on the roach front my honours thesis was on the diversity of oxyurid parasites in cockroaches, so I spent a whole year, dissecting and identifing the little blighters.
In other ppls houses, roaches make me go ICK, if I see a mouse I will freak, but otherwise Eh.
