Good luck!
I'm not sure if you have American roaches in your area, but yes, they were more than enough to persuade me to keep my plants inside. Most years, we see them around here in small numbers during the hottest part of the summer, but several years ago, they were a plague.
These guys are very large roaches. They are big enough that they make audible noises (buzzes and clicks). They fly. And one of their "survival" instincts is apparently to fly towards danger (i.e. people).
