Cockroach

Cockroaches or 'vermin' were introduced in The Sims: Livin' Large and The Sims 2. They infest houses when it is dirty, and once a swarm appears, they can be hard to get rid of. Spraying them can kill them, but as long as there are still dirty items in the house, they will keep coming back.

In The Sims: Unleashed, cats and dogs may hunt them.

In The Sims 2, spraying them may cause the Sim doing the spraying to become ill so Sims can now call an exterminator. Sims will get bad memories from seeing vermin and will often cry about having seen them even after the vermin are gone.

With The Sims 2: Apartment Life, evil witches can also summon them using magic (the head evil witch will do this frequently on community lots).
