What does a cockroach smell like? Is there any chemical in paints that smells similar?

Can't help with the paint part of the question but I'd be surprised if anyone wanted to guarantee this smell in their house! It's unpleasant - some roaches give off a defensive odour if they feel threatened. A combination of faeces and gland secretions.

I make no claims for its artistic merit, but here's the start of a poem by Jan Sand found at http://www.artvilla.com/mair/sand23.htm
A strong bitter smell,
They make their own atmosphere,
A smell that penetrates, smothers, bites.
A breath from hell.
No fault of their's,
A gift from God,
A talent out of Darwin.
It serves them well
