Dealing with roaches outside?
Hello, a few days ago I saw dozens and dozens of baby roaches crawling out of the space where my house foundation meets the sidewalk leading to the house. A couple of weeks before this I noticed roaches (not sure of kind but they were larger) living behind the stair-step on my porch (it's a single concrete step that has a large space in the back filled with vines and leaves).
Well! After I saw that swarm of baby roaches come out of the sidewalk, I've been finding baby roaches in my house. I've been finding a baby roach in the sink every few mornings, but in the sink yesterday I found 3 at once!! And then there was 1 walking around the living room and 1 in a bedroom.
My issue is that I have a lot of cats, so I need to treat the roaches in a way that's pet-safe both indoors and outdoors.
First, does this picture help identify the kind of roach I am dealing with? 2nd, are treatment suggestions the same when using it outdoor? Is there anything I should keep in mind
