Does anybody know if there are any non-pest cockroaches in Idaho? I have been looking and have found no roaches in Idaho ( not even "pest" species! ) thanks in advance!

I would go on www.bugguide.com and look at the range maps. For example, I found this one http://bugguide.net/node/view/31624/data.

I do not think it shows any Parcoblatta from Idaho or even for any other cockroach on bugguide but I would think there are some cockroaches there.

Well it seems that no cockroaches are found in Idaho... This range map of Blattodea shows that no cockroaches are found there http://bugguide.net/node/view/342386/data. That might explain why you haven't found any where you live. However, I found this other website where someone found some of the pest species in Idaho http://kezj.com/magic-valley-cockroaches/.
Aww... Oh well. Thanks anyway!

I don't use bugguide often.
So it is possible that there could be roaches in idaho! 
I will try hard to find some. thanks!

It says in the first part that Wyoming, Montana and Idaho do not have any native roaches. At first I thought pifff of course there are native roaches but maybe it is true...

Were they big? Were they a little dull colored? Did they have some markings that stood out or were they just like one solid color?

I honestly dont remember all the exact details but they were orangish in color, there were actually pretty small maybe no bigger than an inch, thats about all i remember

Might be Parcoblatta males. When I came here to America I was in a small house and there were woods all around. At night I would see big bunches of Parcoblatta males flying around bushes (not really attracted to the lights near by) which I think were P. uhleriana and maybe some of the unidentified species (I do not remember ones that look like them but I did not even know about Parcoblatta then).

That would be cool, the Parcoblatta sp interest me. ( but then again, all roaches do 
) I will definitely keep an eye out for them.

That surprises me TBH, have yet to see any Blattella here in ID, I just found my first pest species ever this year, (Blatta orientalis), after living in ID for nearly 10 years!
