Just saw a large cockroach in my 10th floor apartment. Didn’t know they made it up this high! What can I do?

First of all, if you see one then it’s too late- it’s an infestation. Clean your stuff, leave nothing on the floor or open in the kitchen, and call your super/landlord to send exterminator ASAP. Especially throw away any cardboard boxes, they love that stuff.

Do you live in a high rise building with a doorman?

Yes! Which is why it’s so surprising to see a roach. No restaurants nearby either.

The large ones (waterbugs) don’t infest apartments like the small ones do. Seeing one does not mean there are necessarily more.

Agreed. I had one of these several months ago in my bedroom (thought I’d never sleep again) but that was it. A simple but effective way to kill them is mixing some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and squirting them rapid fire for a few seconds.

They showed up maybe twice when I was growing up. My mom said I tracked it in with my backpack on the subway (ew!!!). We never had an infestation of those big ones

Anytime I’ve had them in tropical climates, got combat roach bait/roach motels, put them in a few corners, and they were gone within a week or so.

Fun update for everyone! We caught it!
