cockroaches?

[ronnietoon]

after blitzing a showers flat about six weeks ago with bleach all sorts of of things have started coming out.

Spiders i dont mind i just cup them then let them out the front door as with moths.

flies and fruit flies i kill on site.

now in the shower area the little brown specs that i thought i had got rid of in abundance have reappeared(which i assume is fruit fly eggs).

yesterday i saw a creature while cleaning i didn't recognize and disposed of it.

now in the said shower saw the same thing and it got me thinking what the question tittle is about.

i sprayed it with the shower head to no avail strong little thing needed the nozzle turned to ten.

long story short i tried Google but cant find any images.

its(and im pretty sure deceased friend) black about 9mm in length and about half that in width,has 6 legs and two antlers the same size in proportion to that of a wasps body.

Sounds like a stag beetle. Never seen a black cockroach.

They are harmless....just pick it up carefully so as not to hurt it and put it outside....somewhere damp preferably.
Amazing creatures!

Do they breed?? I think they probably do! :-)

they are harmless and not usually found indoors.
