Cockroaches are common in the Georgia heat and with a scorching summer ahead, these creepy crawlers are coming out to play. Sure, they live outside, but every now and then, you may see one indoors at work or even in your own home.

The German cockroach evolved to live only in human environments. This roach is very good at adapting to pest control methods — even if it means changing its mating rituals.

A North Carolina-based company is looking for a few study participants who are willing to welcome roughly 100 cockroaches into their homes. It got more than 2,500 applications in less than a week.
