Difference Between Palmetto Bugs and Cock Roaches
I've been told by a sweet Southern belle from Natchez, MS that a palmetto bug is what you find in your own (immaculately clean) house and cockroach is what you see in your neighbor's house. Same bug, just different names.
Lived in central Florida for 15 years and had two roach episodes; one German in my kitchen and one American in my garage. Eliminated both quickly with Hot Shot Ultra Liquid Roach Bait, small plastic containers filled with liquid poison that attracts roaches and kills them. Packet of 6 for $10.45 at Walmart. A lot cheaper than having a pest control service spaying poison around you house on a routine basis.
As for roaches possibly coming up through the bathtub just close the drain after use and see if you find any more roaches in the tub. My guess is that they come for the wetness in the tub. They get thirsty which is why the Liquid Roach Bait works so well.
