My mom had an immaculate house, and had Terminex come every month. But if you went into the kitchen at night and turned on the lights, you would see some scampering under the refrigerator, stove, dishwasher.
They didn't live long.
Once we moved Mom's china cabinet and there were 30-40 dead roaches under there. Belly up!
They will die in your home if the exterminator is doing his job.
They can't keep them out, just insure they don't make it out alive.
Welcome to tropical Florida!!
(I once had an exterminator tell me that they were here before man and will be here long after we are gone. I think he's right!)

I am sure that you are right but I have not seen one in six years. We watched the finishers to our home as it was being built put silicon beading along all interior surfaces, I hope that is part of the reason and that we live in new-er areas.
We are extra careful about containing open food, cereal, bread, cookies too.
We have called Dean for "pith anth' several times in our bathroom when we returned for the season in first home in Hadley.
