Answers:
the average house has 40,000 cockroaches before you know you have a problem
they hide in many places...especially under the house ...in the walls and in the roof
you really need a pest controller
but you can try the commercial sprays or
a saucer of beer ..they will be attracted and drowned or even mix some detergent with with water in a spray bottle an spray them ..they will be dead the next morning
maybe even spread some powdered borax lightly in areas you see them
lol
get some roach baits and apply roach poweder along walls and under things if you have a major problem with them call an exterminator or bomb the house with roach bombs..
Tips:
1. Get a can of bug spray/ cockroach killer
2. Make sure that there isn't any food (or food crumbs/bits) in your room.
3. Don't let even one cockroach live. They multiply really quickly, and in large numbers. Eww.
Omg that sucks I hate cochroaches too I had one in my room once I was soo scared!
If you have a glass jar and some coffee grounds then you can make a trap. Apparently they love the smell of coffee grounds in a little drop of water and will climb in, but then they can't get back out again.
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vegas_roach... - you have to stand the jar down right next to the wall.
At least if that works you can show the problem to your parents in the morning.
They live in little communities, so if you woke up and only found one, it might have just flown in, looking for a new home? I mean, maybe you don't have any more at all?
Are you sure it is not a water bug..they are sort of cockroaches, but do not breed and go everywhere (only in basement near water drains). If you saw one cockroach , then there are millions in the walls that you CAN'T see!! The whole house should be bug bombed with an aerosol bug bomb (you have to turn off any gas to the furnace or stove and leave the house for 4 hours or so with pets).And any unsealed food that is not affected by bugs has to be thrown out or moved outside during the bug bombing.
if you had just one that's not a infestation it had to come from outside your home if they are not in the rest of your home you can get some glue boards at the hardware store they will let you know if there are more in your room or in the house
i would call your local exterminator if you have seen more than one. cockroaches multiply rapidly and it will not take long to become infested.
