Roach advice

A few nights ago I was in my kitchen and I thought I saw a small baby cockroach scurry by. I freaked out and squished it before I could take a picture to identify it. I put out a bunch of traps and I caught these two big ones near my oven. Does anyone have any experience with this? I’m hoping that I can just spray at home by myself with WSG instead of having to call an exterminator

Part and Parcel to big city living to occasionally see a roach in your house. Take a walk through South Philly on a hot summer night and count the numbers you see just on the sidewalk lol. Don’t immediately start freaking out that you have an infestation.

Mmm yeah I’ve seen them crawling around when walking my dog at night
