my girlfriend is in florida on vacation, and discovered a few smaller cochroaches in her room. she wondered if they could survive in her luggage and the climate change in illinois?

Was it an actual cockroach or a palmetto bug? I don't think palmetto bugs can live up north, but a cockroach certainly can. (Palmetto bugs are about 1.5 - 2 inches long and fly, and usually live outside. They look a lot like cockroaches. In fact, they might be a type of cockroach, I'm not sure.)

Definitely yes. Cockroaches are the mother of all pests. They always seem to survive just almost anything.
You've heard that cockroaches could survive a nuclear blast. That's in theory, but they are so adaptable that maybe, just maybe they can survive.

cockroaches live in all climates and all conditions. they are disgusting little buggers! Tell her to make sure her suitcase is free of them before coming home cause they will multiple and then you'll have nothing but trouble!
