Yeah, but a human sized roach has an armoured carapace which is now a few centimetres thick. Do you have a cannon with armour piercing ammunition at home? I'll take my chances in forming an alliance with the small people.

A roach that big wouldn't be able to move much, it's legs would probably splinter under the weight of that armored carapace. Also it probably wouldn't be able to "breathe" at that size, it's respiratory system wouldn't function well enough to keep it alive for very long. It's a problem that would solve itself pretty quickly.

Well, aren't you fun.

Square-cube law, a human size roach would suffocate and likely be crushed by its own weight.

I thought what he said was very interesting as a matter of fact.

For all your "defend your neighbours home without opening any doors" needs. Sure, that works.
