    I have had 4 pco and all. I find this in the trap this morning. Yuck. I tried to look it up. How does this get into my apt. They must have let a bomb off downstairs. I am so grossed out that this could be crawling around in my bed, if it did not get in this trap. No telling what else came up out of the floor. Just when my panic is starting to end. BB are so much smaller. BUGS ECK!

    In my unprofessional opinion, it looks like the bug I just killed crawling on my daycare kids foot...common waterbug. With the moisture that we have had in Nebraska, we get alot of these. They will come up the drains of the tub, ect and up any floor drains. I have even seen them crawl out of our vents. They are harmless and I don't believe as dirty as cockroaches but gross none the less.

    I just told my super about the very adult fenale Oriental Cockroch, i found today in my room.
    He says its a water bug they been here millions or years.
    Yes, we in the USA like to call them waterbugs to make us feel better.
    It is a cockroach an d all these damm bugs have been here millions of years.
    That's no reason to say they are okay and normal to be crawling around my apt.
    Denial. Just like they would not spray the adjactent apts and hallway for BB after they were in my apt and 3 floors above, because some peoples cats run around the hall way and pee in the hall way and they don't want to spray.
    DENIAL.
    Your bugs are gone they tell me.
    I am getting rid of everything, having the bbdogs sniff what little i have left and moving to a new apt.
    I am sure to not bring one with me and who knows if they will be in my new apt in this beautiful NYC.
    meanwhile no bites for about 30 days now. New Apt and ZANAX to get throught this mental torture.
