German cockroaches were the number one small roach at that time. Lou Sorkin

Bown-banded cockroaches are not that common.

I found where the egg-sacs were - in a drawer of linens in the dining room - so I put the linens through a very hot washing cycle, took everything out of the stand-alone china cabinet, pulled the drawers out, and killed everything I found. No activity for about a week, and now they're coming back - mostly in my kitchen, where I haven't been able to find any eggs. I pulled out my refrigerator and checked the coils, I've looked behind the pictures on the walls, unscrewed outlet covers, etc. - no signs. Unlike my German friends, it doesn't seem that they are coming out of the walls; I am not finding any in kitchen cabinets. I'm assuming that the ID is correct, although I've never seen one fly. They mostly hang out high up on walls, and are very placid - they don't run for it when someone comes close, they don't scatter when the lights are turned on, and I don't see them on my kitchen counters at night. I don't know what they're eating. I would be eternally grateful for info! Any suggestions?
