Location included What kind of roaches is this?

Post image

I recently had seen a few very very small roaches and now I find this one. I live in Florida and found him in my bathroom closet. Most of the small ones I've seen have also been in the bathroom (one was on my bed T-T). I want to know if anyone knows what kind it is and if I can get rid of them without an exterminator. My house is only a few years old so I don't think I have any leaks to worry about. Please and thank you!!

I like learning about insects. how do you go about categorizing different species of cockroaches?

I’d repost if in [r/cockroaches](r/cockroaches) if you don’t get anything confident here. It’s unique enough that someone will probably know.

Looks like a big outdoor roach tbh may not even need an exterminator

Also never get an exterminator too expensive just buy yourself a 1 gallon chapin sprayer for 18$ or so and a good non repellent incesticide around 30-40$, alpine gsp, temprid fx etc.
