Big black bug flew into bedroom and is stilll there.
Two nights ago, I was awakened during the night by a soft repetitive “ping” sound coming from the area outside my bedroom. Since I grew up in the country and was used to hearing insedts at night I thought it might be an insect, but dismissed the idea because I live in an apartment 5 stories above the ground. I turned on my bedside lamp looked around and went back to sleep. Later I was awakened once again by a very large black insect flying around the ceiling. I jumped out of bed and it took a dive toward me but I waved my arms and it flew across the room and fell behind my 8 foot bookcases. I didn’t get a really good look at it. It obviously had wings and I estimate that it was about 3 inches long. I haven’t slept in that room since, and keep the door closed.
A few weeks ago I had some new plumbing installed in my bathroom and the wall tiles were removed for 3 days. When the plumbers left, he next day I found a huge orange insect on the shower curtain and killed it with difficulty. I think it was a roach. Perhaps the black creature came in the same way?
What can I do? Is there something that will kill this mystery bug? I would appreciate your help. I'lm an ancient lady who has discovered that she is afraid of bugs.
