Why would cockroaches and other pests thrive in a hotel? [closed]

Disclaimer: I have never been in a hotel. I'm not basing this on actual experiences.

I've generally got the idea and heard many stories or remarks about how hotels in various popular vacation countries often have bugs in the rooms. Like cockroaches. Spiders. Rats?

How can this be? With people constantly moving in and out and professional daily cleaning, how can any pests thrive in such a place?

I've had the disgusting spiders at home, way too many times, but never once a cockroach (but the odd rat). I don't even understand how it can possibly be dirty enough for a cockroach to actually live inside an apartment. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a cockroach at all in my entire life...

Is the bug situation vastly different in other places? That sounds nightmarish. Can it be all made up, like so many other factoids?

Best Answer

Bedbugs are hard to kill, especially if no one tells management they are there. And if you stay somewhere that has them, they will soon be in everyplace else you stay unless you handle them properly.
