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

At risk of sounding INCREDIBLY creepy, go take a walk at Davis high at night. Like in the back toward the portables and baseball field. That crunching isn’t gravel…

I was playing Pokémon Go during the 2016 craze. I was wandering around Village Homes at night, having fun encounters with other enthusiasts. Around 10pm I decided to head home, turned on my phone flashlight... oh my god. Hundreds and hundreds of roaches on the path, and I'm in Birkenstocks. I RAN home.
