I take it you're from America then?
We probably have cockroaches here but they are quite rare either that or very small - we do a nice range of woodlouse and house spiders though :D
EDIT: What am I talking about I should have read Rugby - Americans haven't a clue about that.

From Blighty, but now live in Australia for a while.
So many different species of cockroach here from tiny ones to feck off big red buggers.
On the subject of spiders, I've seen the three most likely to do you damage/kill you and had two of those in the house.

That would freak me out.
I assume you mean the Red Back, Funnel Web and not sure of the third? Not sure about funnel web either do they bite?

Funnelwebs are the only ones to really worry about.
They can mess you up pretty bad, but luckily you rarely see them. However, the first many people do see of them is when shaking the bedsheets out. Redbacks are usualy merely very painful unless you're allergic to them. White-tailed SPiders (the third one) are bloody painful (the pain can also last for a year) and sometimes an opportunistic infection can follow that results in serious necrosis around the wound. We've had Redbacks and White-taileds in the house and I saw a Sydney Funnelweb walking about in town on a very rainy night (it flushes them out of thir burrows).
