Found in new house inspection!
We found this roach during our new house pre purchase inspection. Very concerned it’s a roach that can be hard to remove once inside. What type?

The inspector might have identified it for you, but as a former contractor I never put much faith in home inspectors to begin with.
Before you move in, try some bug bombs, or traps, professional pest control is dubious.
