it is one of the outdoor roaches getting in probably the american roach… http://www.ipconetwork.org/pests/bsshow.…
or maybe the smoky brown roach… http://www.ipconetwork.org/pests/bsshow.…
just think of them as a flat cricket…probably got in around the flange where the pipes come out of the wall..they won’t be coming from faucet or the drains. How clean a building is has nothing to do with these insects, with the weather warming up and spring rains some have found their way into the walls then into your unit. The pre mixed spray that comes in the gallon container (Ortho Home Defense…Mr Sctott’s ) will be effective against them, just spray where the pipes enter the wall..baseboards of kitchen and bathrooms and the exterior door thresholds should help keep them at bay. These products should be odorless and invisible when dried so you won’t have to have a dusty mess as with borate treatments.
and use Loads of borax powder… Its 100% Natural…

Walmart carries a great product called Home Defense. Follow directions, you spray inside and then around the outside of the home in a specific manner. You can never eliminate them 100% but this stuff does a great job for me in Mississippi. They come in through tiny spaces, your home would have to pretty much be air tight to keep them out. Anything they can fit into (like any critter) they can get through into the home. Plug every crevice, hole and crack, that will help. The bug spray is great and not offensive smelling nor is it harmful to pets.

Boric acid was first registered in the US as an insecticide in 1948 for control of cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish, and many other insects. It acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects’ metabolism, and the dry powder is abrasive to the insects’ exoskeleton.
Boric acid is generally considered to be safe to use in household kitchens to control cockroaches and ants. Homemade ant bait can be made by dissolving 1 teaspoon (5 mL) powdered boric acid and 10 teaspoons (50 mL) sugar into 2 cups (500 mL) of water; this mixture can then be absorbed into cotton balls which are left near ant trails. This reportedly will be carried back into the ants’ nest, killing any ants that eat it, potentially destroying the entire colony.
Boric acid is also made into a paste or gel form. The paste or gel has attractants in it to attract insects; mostly cockroaches. It is convenient to use because you can simply put a small dab under sinks, counters, refrigerators, and stoves. The boric acid dehydrates the insects. It does it slowly and they don’t realize they are in danger. One of the real benefits of using boric acid is that immunity can’t be built up; since it works through dehydration. The insects take the bait back to the nest and one application can eliminate them for an entire year.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid
