Cockroaches

New York City is literally the most populous city in the United States and has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, and is a significant influence on commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. It is the most photographed city in the world. However, few people know that in this megacity, there is a myriad of problems that the locals have to face up with. An issue that no one expected is cockroaches. It is a gross thing you’ll experience in New York City as summer arrives.

Cockroaches are a year-long problem in New York, but summer is when the really big ones come out. Mosquitos may be buzz bombing your ears, keeping you up at night. Ants may be making a Shake Shack-like line to and from your refrigerator. But it’s these creepy crawlies that have to take the cake for being the most disgusting summer company you can keep in New York City. (Other than everyone on that sweaty subway car, obviously.)
