I seem to remember a certain species of cockroach that
was quite fond of
wire insulation...
I really doubt that, sincd cockroaches eat human food. (Termites, maybe?)
My brother usta work in an abandoned building. His screen went funny, and
he looked down -- a rat large enough to require a driver's license was
gnawing on the cable. (This was over 10 years ago, just to _pretend_ to
keep this on topic).

Back about 1985 when I was still the CSR at the RSCC in downtown
Los Angeles, a customer brought in a TRS-80 Model 3 that had been
in storage at his company's warehouse up in Stockton for at least
two years, It was quite grungy and it would not boot TRSDOS or
anything else except for ROM BASIC. So we sent it out to the
repair center. When it came back the ticket read something like
"Removed dead mouse from drive 0. Cleaned drives and system.
System checks OK." My manager immediately sent a speed memo to
the repair center to the effect of "Customer was unaware that
mouse was available upgrade to Model 3. Would like mouse
repaired and reinstalled."

they'll never be free.

Hey, I live in Florida where the cockroach is the state insect! I can
tell you for a fact that they eat EVERYTHING! If you think they only eat
human food then it's obvious that you've never lived in an area that has
roaches!
I have seen cloth covered wires stripped bare by roaches!
