Found a bug in my hallway yesterday and panicked and killed it before getting a picture.

At first I thought it might be a roach. Never had one in any of our homes before so I looked up all the common roaches in the US and it didnt really look like any of them other than antennae and general size. Checked closets and cabinets and couldnt find anymore.

Its body was maybe an inch to two inches long. Long antennae and legs. Wideish body. Brownish-red. The back looked like it was a horizontal pattern, sort of like a bedbugs back but it definitely wasnt one due to the size.

@dolomedes ? Any ideas? Im in Omaha, NE if that helps.

if anyone can provide pics of what they think it is so I can confirm. We did just have the exterior of our home treated by a pest control company and the guy said we might see some weird bugs get inside during the first week or two cause their usual spots arent livable anymore but I was expecting ants, spiders, and centipedes, not roaches or whatever the hell this thing was

no, didnt look like it had wings. Just a flat back with a horizontal pattern. Leg layout wasnt quite the same but antennae were close

this is the closest. The back legs didnt look like that and the head seemed smaller. Could have been a young one I guess. What kind of roach is this and how the hell do I make sure more dont show up

Clean up food and crumbs and make sure your place isn't weirdly humid

Theres almost never food anywhere outside the kitchen and dining room and we clean it up immediately

I try to keep all fans on all the time and keep the AC at 70-74 at all times and never open windows

any scents they dont like?
