The Amazing Staying power of roaches

So yesterday I decided to transfer my whole hisser colony to a new bin. There were about 2-3 inches of dead bodies/frass/sheds/ food on the bottom, and after gathering as many babies as I could from the mix, I torched the bin with steaming water. I dumped the mix outside after double-torching, and today I walked outside to see a ton of ants, dead bodies... and baby roaches. Somehow, some of them survived the 50 degree night temps, and not to mention the scorching!
Just makes you wonder. :P
