Now I know what likes to visit me at night. I find at the most 3 of these water bugs in early morning upon their back dead. I first began to notice these Smoky Brown Roaches (waterbugs) this past winter when my roof began to leak. My attic was soaked with moisture. This problem has been taken care of, so now they are coming from the basement which is moist. So now I know what they like, and I am going to give them what they don't like. A dry non-living space. lol.... Thank you for the lesson.

[@morrison278]

I'm from Houston. I keep seeing these things especially outside, which outside is fine. My cat kills them if they try to come in which is rarely. He's my protector. Get a cat if they're getting inside your home. Otherwise try orthro home defense and go around your entire home outside (or do both). Wanted to add a dog does well too, I have a chihuahua that also gets rid of them. Luckily I've only see one or two a month inside my house. There's other pesticides you can buy and spray into all the cracks and crevices. Just make sure you read about the children/pet warnings.

Great video. In my neighborhood or at least the the immediate six houses including mine, our backyards flood with heavy rain. Everytime this happens I get roaches in my house. Right now I'm two days after the flooding rain and most the standing water is gone and I've just killed the 12th roach in my house. I hope this wave refuge seeking bugs ends soon.

[@kstizz2686]

Omg what do I do!!! We have lived here for 7 months now and honestly I never saw a bug in this house and I was sooo happy . Cut to two weeks ago. we start getting these tiny black beetles showing up at night only by my sink though in the kitchen . I do truly think those are beetles because they don’t look like the water bug roach. But then today I saw a big one by the little ones in the sink and it didn’t look like the little beetles . I really don’t know if it was a black roach or a different kind . Either way I am freaking out just the word roach scares me . I’m going to Lowe’s today to purchase anything and everything I can . I hate bugs so much . And I can deal with a couple small beetles but a black waterbug roach? Nope . They aren’t anywhere else in my house, not the pantry , and I keep my house clean and my cats food is kept in an airtight container . I don’t want this at all. I have never ever had a roach in any home I have ever lived in and if that was one I am definitely freaked out. Like I said it wasn’t like the roach pics I looked up online it was completely black and maybe 3/4 of an inch long .

Hi, I don't know if you answer questions or not but I have a scenario that I didn't see you mention. I have a bathroom sink I don't use cause it leaks wen I do. The other day after sanding the walls, redoing the bathroom, I used the hose from the vacuum and put it over the drain to pull out any dust, what I pulled out were two maybe three waterbugs. Freak city, again that faucet isn't used. Is there something you can pour down the drain, or hot water regularly? I have a heavy drain cover so they can't just waltz on out, but I'd love to eliminate them. If you have the time thanks.

[@Mad_Martigen]

@@jacktheriffermaskedguitari3037 large roaches are very commonly mistakenly called waterbugs. When you see a large roach it is what it is - a roach but a large one. That's it. Waterbugs, however, are aquatic insects that are larger than roaches and are very aggressive. They have pincers and inflict a very painful bite. Remember, roaches and waterbugs are different species and are not related.
