How can this cockroach be found dead here? (Warning: Dead cockroach picture)

I am saying how can it be found dead right under my desk in the middle of nowhere? Can anyone explain this mystery?

Me, I don’t know, me, but these observations might (or might not) be related:

@Brianjones

. . . spraying of drains to prevent dengue fever . . . a couple of times a year at least.

@DrewC

If it rains a lot, then a lot of them leave the sewers and come to the surface. Also they appear more as it gets hotter.

@lostinasia

I’ve always assumed it’s because there’s been some kind of spraying, and the roaches are coming above ground to die.

@Abacus

The worst was when they spray the sewers (yearly I think) and the roaches (the really big ones) sought refuge in the houses.

@Gain

. . . cockroaches crawling on the streets and walls after the rain stopped.

@Icon

… but they keep coming through the pipes.
. . .
That is what living next to a wet market feels like.

@Petrichor

. . . they came in through the fan openings in the bathrooms. We put mosquito netting over the inside of the fans and it stopped them.

But as I said, I don’t know.
