How to make sure you don t bring cockroaches home from Hawaii?

The suggestion to un-pack outside, shake everything well, immediately wash clothing and leave bags out in the sun was given to me on our very first trip (BI) by a long time visitor who learned the hard way. I also spray the bags with Febreeze, I don't know that roaches will run from it, but it can't hurt.

Yes, in the drawers/cabinets especially, even on second + floors. Maui specifically has such a roach problem, we accidentally brought them back with us last time we visited… we've lived there for a few years in the past.
