Last night, I saw a roach on my back steps. I stepped over it a few times going in and out of the house, but it didn't move until I relentlessly sprayed it with all-purpose bug spray. Then I sprayed all around the concrete steps. This morning, I found what might be another roach dead near where I sprayed the most. The first roach was large, a bit over an inch. It was a reddish brown color. The second, is a little smaller and almost black. It was also less "boxy" looking.
Our back concrete steps are in bad condition. They're pulling away from the house and have some cracks, crevices, and holes near the base. Last night was hot and muggy and working up to a big storm. We were running the air conditioner. I'm in the south suburbs of Chicago. I'm not sure what other info might help.
What do I do now? Do I need an exterminator, or can I handle this problem? Do I even have a real problem? Help!
