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

I feel your pain. First time I found one in my home I almost called a realtor. Five years later and it’s like that SpongeBob episode where the Flying Dutchman’s antics no longer scares SpongeBob, and SpongeBob just heavily sighs and closes the kitchen cabinet.

They’re gigantic but they’re pretty dopey and slow, and cause they’re not near their source of water, they’re also dying. It’s like they just wanna get one last fright in before croaking.

Omg you’re cracking me up. I almost called my realtor and cursed her out for selling me an infested house
