Perhaps, on the topic of countries without cockroaches, you are looking for a serious, credible and in-depth guide? You are on the right place. I have been living in Buenos Aires since 2012, yet I find myself constantly confronted with the question: “Can you really live in Argentina without cockroaches?” No one likes cockroaches right? Well, unless you happen to live in one of these countries where the roach population is so low that they are almost extinct! We compiled this list of countries without cockroaches based on a variety of factors including the number of bugs and infestation rates, spread of disease through contact with roaches, and ability to spot them in homes. Cockroaches are pests that have spread throughout the globe. These pesky insects can live on the filth in cities, grow to immense sizes, and can even come into your home without you even knowing it. Did you know that there are actually countries without cockroaches? Are there any benefits to this? Cockroaches are an unwelcome presence in many households. They sneak inside homes and eat the food that is stored inside. If left uncontrolled, these pests can bring illnesses and disease into the households. Here we have a list of countries that do not have cockroaches as a pest. Cockroaches are some of the most undesirable pests to invade your home. They are not only unsightly, but they can carry diseases as well. Cockroaches can be particularly challenging to eliminate, so it’s best to prevent them altogether. While they could actually live in any country or climate, there are countries where cockroach problems are less common than others.

Countries Without Cockroaches

Introduction

The cockroach is a truly remarkable creature. It’s the only insect that can survive in space, it can live for a week without its head, and it can live underwater for half an hour. They’re also scary-looking bugs with gross habits and weird sounds they make, so lots of people don’t like them. But where do you go if you want to avoid these amazing yet much-disliked insects? Here are 7 countries (and one microstate!) with no roaches, which may be enough to make them worth a visit:

Iceland

You might be surprised to find out that Iceland does not have cockroaches. This is because cockroaches do not live in Iceland, which is a country located in the North Atlantic. The population of Iceland is about 300,000 people and it is known for its hot springs, geysers, and volcanoes.

Antartica

While Antartica is not a country, it does have no cockroaches. So if you’re looking for a place to live where there are no cockroaches, look no further and move to Antartica!

Greenland

Greenland is an autonomous country within the Danish Realm, constituting the northernmost part of Denmark proper. Greenland also includes the island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of about 56,000 people and an area of 2,166,086 square kilometres (830,000 sq mi).

Saint Helena

Saint Helena is an island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It’s part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, which include also Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha Island. The island was named after its patron saint.

Although cockroaches are not native to this island, they might have been brought there by ships that came from other places with cockroaches on them (like Africa).

Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are a group of 18 islands in the North Atlantic, located halfway between Scotland and Iceland. They’re not part of the European Union, but they are self-governing and have their own government, language and currency. Their population is about 50,000.

Faroe Islandes’s flag has a red cross on a white background with a blue Scandinavian cross in each quarter of the flag; this symbolizes Christianity to many who see it as an adaptation of St Olaf’s Cross (Olaf was king of Norway from 1015–1028 CE).

Svalbard

You might be surprised to learn that this tiny archipelago in the Arctic Ocean is one of the few places on earth that doesn’t have cockroaches. The Svalbard islands are a territory of Norway and part of the European Economic Area, so they’re pretty much identical to Norway in terms of culture when it comes to things like food and language. However, unlike other parts of Europe, you’ll never see any roaches here!

The islands are located between 74° and 81° north latitude and 10° and 35° east longitude—that’s a pretty far distance from New York City (which sits at 40° north latitude), but still close enough for us to talk about them as being included in our list!

Holy See (Vatican City)

Holy See, or Vatican City as it is more commonly known, is not technically a country. It’s a sovereign city-state and the smallest in the world. With a population of just 842 people—and that number further reduced by religious officials who do not live in the city—it’s also the world’s smallest independent state and its most densely populated sovereign state.

Holy See is surrounded by Rome’s metropolitan area; however, unlike other regions within Italy or any other nation for that matter, Holy See has no specific borders with any other entity. Its only border with another landmass is represented by St Peter’s Basilica itself!

These countries do not have cockroaches

You may be surprised to learn that Iceland, Antarctica and Greenland are all free of cockroaches. You can also add Saint Helena, the Faroe Islands and Svalbard to your list of places where you don’t have to worry about finding one of these pesky critters under your bed or in your kitchen cabinets.

The Holy See in Rome is also on this list; no need for any Vatican-approved prayers against roaches.

Conclusion

My research has uncovered an interesting paradox. It seems like the only countries without cockroaches are either very cold or very small. This is likely due to how climate affects insect life, but I’ll leave it up to you to decide what that means. In any case, this is just a glimpse into the world of insect life and its importance for our lives on earth.
