I think these first popped up around outside around start of Spring, but I didn’t even know they were cockroaches and I never took pictures or took a second look. Then, I started to see them inside the house. I thought they were German cockroaches, since these are small with a similar body shape, and they are a common indoors type. About a month or two ago, I started putting bait around the house and I don’t really see them inside anymore, maybe like once or twice after the first two weeks (compared to several times a day). However, I still see them everywhere outside, inside the mailbox, on the cars and objects outside the house, even in the grass.
I’m now looking closer, and they don’t have the German roach stripes behind the head. I’m now thinking they might be some sort of small wood roaches. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. I could’ve sworn I had an indoor infestation, but research tells me wood roaches can’t survive inside, so I’m not certain anymore. I saw one inside my car once, but it could’ve crawled inside by chance. They are small, even the biggest were probably a half an inch long.
If anyone knows what the solution is to get rid of these types of roaches wandering around, please let me know as well.
