In ''The Sims 2'', roaches will spawn around a pile of garbage that has been left sitting too long, even if the lot is generally clean. A common source of roaches is a residential lot's garbage can having been kicked or knocked over while the resident Sims are asleep or away. |

Roaches in ''The Sims 2'' are more difficult to get rid of than they were in ''The Sims''. Sims can spray them, but the [[Maid#The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories|maid]] will not, and spraying by Sims is not as effective as calling an [[exterminator]]. Upon seeing live roaches, Sims will get a bad memory and will frequently cancel actions in order to cry or think about the infestation over the next few hours. (Annoyingly, they get the memory every time they interact with the roaches.) In addition, going near roaches carries the risk of acquiring the [[Illness#Flu|flu]], so hiring an exterminator is overall the safest and most effective option. However, killed roaches will remain in a pile that decreases [[Environment]] score until it is cleaned up, This can be done by either a Sim or the maid, but the exterminator will not do it.

If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' is installed, the spell Corruptus Locus, which the [[Witch#The Sims 2: Apartment Life 2|evil High Witch]] casts automatically upon entering a lot, will summon swarms of roaches. This can be extremely annoying when she appears on an owned community lot, as there is no option to call exterminators over the phone when on a community lot. |
