Some console repair shops can now add 'pest exterminators' to their service list.
They've been encountering cockroaches in PlayStation 4's, which they say create an ideal environment for the pests.
The cockroaches crawl into the console through its large vents, and when their bodies rubs against a high voltage component inside, it zaps them - breaking the console.
Cockroaches are attracted to the PlayStation 4's (PS4) because of its dark, warm interior environment.
Steve Porter, the owner of TronicsFix, an electronics repair store near Portland, Oregon, told the DailyMail.com that he encounters cockroach infested PS4's on an almost daily basis.
He estimates that about 40 per cent of the repairs he does contain cockroaches.
While there aren't many cockroaches in Oregon, TronicsFix accepts repairs from across the US, and some regions have more cockroaches than others.
