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.

Aside from their behavior and their not liking dampness, their egg sacks (is that what you call it?) are black and adhere strongly to what they're on.

The kitchen cabinet catches appeared to hold egg sacs, and our telephone (forgive the pun) was bugged. I can only assume they liked the warmth of the answering machine unit. It doesn't sound to be the same type of roach based on the behavior you mentioned, but I figure a good hiding place is a good hiding place.
