I've been seeing these crawling on the outside wall of my (wood) house, the picket fence, in the sunroom, and a few in the kitchen (which is right next to the sunroom). It looks like a roach to me, but it is active during the day even in the bright sunshine and it is not skittish. I don't see the black markings on its head like a German roach would have, and I don't see any brown bands. As you can see in the pic, it's pretty tiny. Any ideas? I'd like to know what I'm dealing with so I know whether or not to call an exterminator. Thanks!!
