Legend has it that after man and after civilization the cockroaches shall overcome and reign supreme. But I've heard that the only reason they remain alive at all in temperate belts is because we keep them warm and fed each winter. So deduction would conclude that once we are gone and the freezing winter arrives they shall Surcome to the temperature and be unable to scrounge for nourishment , therefore withering, dying, and drying. In warmer climates the order of ecology should keep them in check.

The best we have seen were: off Pablo Neruda ave. en Guadalajara Mexico, Manhattan in NYC, and the beef masters in the alleys just offa Rush street 2am Chicago.

Well anyway - this is a great comprehensive book on these eternal symbiotic friends.
