Mosquitoes or Cockroaches?

If you had to choose between one of them, which one do you prefer to live with?

Me, cockroaches because at least they don't make a disturbing sound.

They do, actually. At night as they crawl across your face just as you are almost asleep, you will hear their carapace creaking.

Yeah, but at least they let us sleep whereas the very sharp and shrill sound of the mosquito keeps me up at night.

You can sleep knowing cockroaches will be crawling on your face? Taking bites out of you? (yes...they bite)

This is better than the squeaky sound of the mosquito. And I've never seen a cockroach bite in my life.

Hmmmm this is very tough

Cockroaches are not likely to bite living humans, except perhaps in cases of extreme infestations where cockroach population are large, especially when food becomes limited. In most situations, cockroaches would not bite humans if there are other food sources such as in garbage cans or exposed food.
If you are at a restaurant and the waiter serves you two plates, one with dog poo and the other with cat poo, which one would you prefer to eat?

Not true. They certainly will try to eat anything organic. Even live people.

And you picked a not-very-authoritative source to copy/paste. A pest control company advertisement.
