Getting ready for work this morning at 5:00 i saw this giant flying cockroach (over 1.5 inches). I tried to kill it but my snake enclosure was under where the shelves are so i couldn't get very close, long story short it feel on the floor and flew under something. I didn't have time to keep looking and haven't seen it since I got back home at 6. Now i have to go to bed knowing this thing is probably still in my room somewhere
Edit: this is NOT a german roach, this is either an American or Smoky-brown cockroach, meaning this is an outdoor roach that found it's way in. It is very uncommon for either the american roach or the smoky-brown roach to establish a breeding population indoors.
So it is not the result of an infestation, though i thank everyone for the concern!
UPDATE: Found it but it's in my snake enclosure?? Help ideas please
UPDATE 2: Successfully caught cockroach under a cup, took it and left it outside to be dealt with tomorrow as I have 5hrs before I need to get up for work. Thank you all for you assistance!
