Now I'm worried! Have a broken tv from eBay on its way. If any live roaches were inside would simply banging on the back outside make them scatter out?

Years ago my friends place ran into this issue. They made a specific room for opening up anything. After you open it up, proceed to your workstation. At least any issues can be contained and dealt with.

Now I have a folding table I use outside away at least ten ft. from my house to open and check inside of electronic stuff before bringing it in.
Over the years I've found two TVs with live roaches and at least one with spiders.

One time I went to someones apartment to look at a TV and as I entered the kitchen I noticed quite a few roaches walking around doing what ever roaches do.
I said to the the guy "Don't you think you should do something about the roaches?".

He said it's not that bad there's only a few.

I said "see ya later" and, went outside and shook my clothes and ran for the hills.
