I believe they can, although how they do this is a great mystery to me. I'm sure it involves some form of quantum-tunnelling.
Ahem. Cracks in walls. Or holes. Cockroaches are good at that sort of stuff.

Do you suppose due to the infamous guinea pig disease Maxis was being extra cautious introducing another potentially fatal disease in the neighborhoods considering how everyone was unhappy with the guinea pig disease?

I noticed that all the flowerbeds were dead, so I deleted them with moveobjectson and replaced them with new ones. Normally this works, but suddenly everyone was holding their noses and going on about smelly rubbish piles.
I'm wondering if you perhaps had 'move objects on' when you put the new flowers out after manually deleting them?
The reason that I ask, is because I did this once. There were a lot of dead flowers and it would have taken several sim hours to clean all of them up. So I deleted them like you did. But I couldn't place the new flowers without 'move objects on'.
Like you, afterwards they kept complaining about the smell. Then I noticed that there was one flowerbed left in a corner that I missed. I deleted it also. I started to put out more flowers again and still couldn't place them. So on a whim, I decided to 'burninate' the spot rather than do 'move objects' again. To my surprise, it said "One object deleted-smell emitter. So then I used the burninator on the rest of the flowers that I had just placed. Each one deleted 2 objects, the flowers and the smell emitter.
So it looks like the smell emitters were left behind to bug the sims and spread disease.
(I know that this response is a little late compared to the original post, but since no one responded to that post I am guessing that others were not aware of the way the dead flowers work and might want this info for future reference.)

If you have cracks and holes in your walls, you have a bigger problem than roaches. Hull breaches are extremely bad.

Bah. Like they wouldn't buy it anyway?
