I have been it that same exact situation! About a month ago, didn't I see a roach in our home!!! We live in Florida but we're from upstate NY so that's a no go for me!!! We have our house professionally sprayed to completely avoid this!!
As we were sitting on the couch one night, I saw a little roach on the stairs! Of course, yelled to my husband, who took his old sweet time to actually try to get it. He got it in a napkin but then dropped it and it ran away!! We tried for an hour to find that thing with no luck. Needless to say, I slept uneasy most of the night.
The next morning,[/font] I woke up and found it dead on the kitchen floor with my cat right beside it!!!
Yay for my little Wasabi... he totally saved the day !!!
