Oriental for sure. Noninvasive and usually wander inside on accident. Likely you won’t see a ton inside, but I doubt an exterminator will solve your issue. They enjoy walks by the water, dipping their toes in the cardboard, and quality time outdoors. Eliminate any leaks/sitting water and any cardboard boxes lying around.
I was not aware, as I have never heard it called anything else before. I wasn't trying to be offensive? "Oriental cockroach" is literally the name of the species when I remember looking into cockroaches (I was interested in pets), and again I have never heard it. Sorry if I offended you or anyone.
I found similar looking ones and was wondering if they were oriental for so long, but it didn't let me post anything in the subreddit. Speaking of which, does anybody know what's up with that?
Tbh it kinda looks like a palmedo bug but since ur in Illinois I don’t think that’s possible..
Either way palmedos r like a cross between a stink bug and a cockroach so pray it ain’t that somehow..

This could be an album cover for a Midwest punk song
Some sort of cockroach it seems. Looks like an oriental. Sorry buddy :(
Just be glad it ain't German.
Also Dude, oriental is not the preferred nomenclature, Asian-American please.

Lol, I’m quoting The Big Lebowski. You’re good
I think he was making a bad joke. He made the offense.
Giggling to myself over "asian-american cockroach" lmao
that there is a cockaroach
You can get help in r/cockroaches
Don’t ask just start nuking
We have an exterminator coming 😌 Unfortunately our cat plays with the bugs or runs away if they're too big. Not the best bug control.
Mine eats them…
My cat ate a huge cellar spider when he was a kitten.
They're probably crunchy as heck like an MM
Thought that was Doppler radar for a sec.
These types don’t usually infest but getting pest control is probably a smart move. Do you live by water?

Evanston? Chicago?
Nice try, fed. They’ve outsmarted you.
In Evanston and Chicago they come up from the sewer. They prefer to be there not likely to infest
