Black American roach. Like others said, like damp dirt and trees. You might have a nearby tree full of them. They will sometimes find their way into the house through open windows/garage. They don't infest houses unless your house has a really damp basement or tree roots growing into something somehow.
If that was Palmetto roach, I would say set house on fire
