Why do people hate cockroaches?

Out of all possible insects on the Earth, why do people hate cockroaches so much? Why are people constantly at war with them, even if there might be other similar creatures living in their houses? More than that, why are people afraid of them? What is the reason of this fear, which seems to be almost "inherited" or "internal", a phobia - these insects' survival ability, or their "intellect", or their ability to transport microbes, or simply because they are ugly? What makes people think that the cockroach is the embodiment of evil?
