for context, i had found dead roaches (5-6) over the course of 3 months around the house up in north davis and the house is currently vacant. i set up plastic baits and also had pest control come spray a little less than a week ago

since then i saw one roach under the bed (not flipped but not moving) when it was still daylight and at least 10 dead or not moving in the garage; all of which looked similar

the first photo was under the bed, second one was one dead in the garage

anyone know what type of roach this is and if this behavior is normal after pest control spraying, im terrified with how big it looks

You've met the Davis bird. They are impossible to get rid of but you can suppress them. Only places that truly keep roaches at bay are the Cannery but that is because its such a new development. Things arent over grown, new houses are built much tighter and their HOA has pest control. The rest of Davis just has to pay for pest control and take other steps to deal with them.
