This is a newish species for the US and it will be interesting to see if they do, in fact, adapt to the indoors here. If you have so many, please see if you can obtain a photo of an ootheca-carrying female to add to BugGuide. There is one nice image on the Internet, but I have not been able to convince the photographer to add it here yet. Here is a link so that you know what to look for:

As you will see, if you click on the above image and read the attached comments, this is likely an adult specimen and not a nymph.

Looks like an immature cockroach of some type. Here is a link to the guide.
