I have only seen the one and it hasn't come back out to play as of yet. Some say smashing a roach is not a good thing due to what their eggs can go through and still hatch. If you smash one, bleach everything that touched it or throw it away. I also heard a mixture of sugar and baking soda does wonders due to the fact that roaches cant "pass gas" They explode (internally maybe?) They go for the sugar and can't help ingesting the baking soda. You can also put a perimeter of Dawn liquid soap or Vasoline around the rim of you sink to prevent them getting water. Supposedly, they wont cross it. For a more natural defense, look up NEEM oil. I have done a ton of research over this critter and that's what I have found so far.
