I'd wait until I saw a few more and make sure they all looked the same.
Against all odds, I found a cockroach in my house twenty years ago,
killed it and didn't mention it to my wife. I've seen no other nor
evidence of any since. I had been to a river that had cockroaches around
it the weekend before and think I rolled one up in my camp clothes.
After ten years, I broke the story gently to my wife to prevent
hysteria. We have moths occasionally. Kissing bugs (Western Conenose
Bug) and black widows get my immediate and undivided attention.
