Bug identity


Question
Bug
Bug  
Hello, could you please identify the pest from the picture please?

Thanks,
Sherrie

Answer
Sherrie,

The image is a bit dark but the shape and long antennae remind me of a cockroach, probably and juvenile since I can't see any wings. See http://www.livingwithbugs.com/cockroaches.html for pictures of cockroaches and control information. Post a follow up if you have questions. In terms of control baits work much better than sprays (see http://www.livingwithbugs.com/cockroach_baits.html for details).
