Big or small?
Not too big, like a quarter(longer of course)... worst thing it flies. Color is kind of light brown not those typical one with darker color we've usually seen here. This is the 2nd time we saw one since we moved in. Last year I caught one around the same time too...jmoney74 said:Roger said:Not to hijack this thread, but anyone having other pest problem besides ants?

Flying roaches.
Why did it have to be flying roaches?

I'd look in your cabinets to see if you got any type of smell or goo droppings. Might give you a hint if there are more of them.

The light brown (length of a quarter) sounds like its a german roach. Which means, if you see one or two may not indicate an infestation, however, if you start to see them in the day time or it starts to smell like an old house, then you have a serious problem. Do you have any leaks anywhere? Even if you clean up, if you have a water source then will flourish. Also, these german roaches can survive without water for a month.
Thanks for the suggestion. The two instance when we saw them were both from the same bathroom and both around late night time. The house smells fine. In terms of leak not that I know of? The paint looks fine throughout my house but other than that as indicator I would not know another possible signs indicating water leaking...Irvine Fanatic said:Roger said:Not too big, like a quarter(longer of course)... worst thing it flies.

You might want to put out a few of those roach motels or sticky pads. These will not get rid of roaches, but act as a meter to determine the level of infestation. If you catch a few each day consistenly for a week, then you might want to bait. DO NOT spray. It causes them to move their nest deeper into the house. Also, these german roaches are not known to travel from house to house but they can. So if your neighbor has pets, or are not that clean and a large infestation has developed then you are receiving the fruits of their labor unfortunately. If you have pets, do no leave the pet food out for roaches to feed on or bowls of water to drink from.

Resale. I certainly hope not something from the previous owner :'(Irvine Fanatic said:Roger said:Found another one by living room last nightirvinehomeowner said:
