I live in Los Angeles! and have encountered huge flying cockroaches in my apartment. Did someone breed them?
I’ve never heard of flying cockroaches on the west coast, only the east coast, and tropical climates. Coincidentally, my neigbors just moved to Florida, and they are not very fond of me. Maybe they bred the bugs like in the movie “Pacific Heights”, and put them in my apartment. What do you think?
Southern california is a semi tropical climate. All cockroaches can fly.
EDIT: SOME not all cockroaches can fly. Not at all uncommon though.
I had giant ones in my apartment too. They are really scary. Fortunately I only had to deal with a few of them. Get a big athletic shoe and stomp them out. Hard. If there are more than 3 or 4 that you have to deal with, you should tell your landlord/management company to do something about them. Because they’re really frightening, I know what you’re talking about.
In Florida, they’re not cockroaches, they’re
“palmetto bugs”…..Anyway, living in an apartment, I think you’re pretty much gonna be dealing with cockroaches anyway. And, yes they all fly at some stage in their life. Tell your landlord. Boric acid is supposed to kill them as well.

here we are:
no one where you have lived has EVER seen a flying cockarach. hehehe…..
Oh my goodness! I didnt know roaches could fly! I live in North Carolina and we have roaches outside in the pinestraw and they scare the crap out of me! my dad got the exterminating company to spray some stuff on them to kill them. it works really good – you just have to deal with getting rid of the dead ones.
good luck!
could of. Who wants a flying cock.
coul be a water bug.
It’s an extremely unpleasant consequence of living that far south. I recommend that you move north to Portland or Seattle, not only to get away from the insect cockroaches but from the human ones!
The livability of your city and the quality of your life will improve significantly!
