returned from a 3 day vac. to find 11 yes 11 what look to be egg cases from a form of cockroach, they are small less then 1/4 of an inch all oblong with several circular grooves horizontally down them, fearing the thought of roaches i sprayed around areas i found the egg cases and laid 4 bait traps overnight. have yet to see 1 single roach. or any sign of roaches other then the egg cases. Please Help me understand what is going on.

details, ok all egg cases found in kitchen but 3 found in bathroom, they were kept in a glass jar terminix inspector said we could "watch them hatch" so far nothing. I keep my house clean and sorta cool rarely about 80, but over vacation, no a/c was on.

I am open to the idea what i have is something else but I have researched for 3 days and cant find anything with egg sacks like that, even the pics i've seen of roach egg sacks dont match 100%

  1. could be maggots pupating to the adult fly...the roach ootheca will look like a small coin purse  

    a picture is always best when asking such questions


  2. i live in a neighborhood where there are alot of water bugs at night outside and from how you described the egg, that is what water bug eggs look like...does it kinda look like a litte bean maybe brown or reddish brown in color?
