When I lived in Vegas, cockroaches were just everywhere in general. Like go outside at night and there's a good chance you'll see them just walking around on the sidewalk. Even outside the nicely landscaped hotels. Spraying the home defense stuff around the perimeter of our house and inside the garage kept the vast majority of them out, but still every now and then one would manage to make it inside.

Those are usually American cockroaches and its pretty hard to get an actual infestation of those in a house because they tend to live outside. It's possible, but way less common.

I find it hard to believe that people are just bringing in German cockroaches on them unless you are friends with some very unsanitary people.

It's not usually full roaches that get brought in but someone brings in some box or clothes or something with eggs in them, which then hatch and make their way into cracks in walls, behind dishwashers (they LOVE dishwashers), etc to lay more.
