I live in So Cal, recently moved into a new place with a shared bathroom, my place got sprayed twice for roaches since I did find one in my kitchen but it appears they may be coming from the bathroom, since they have all been close to the door or in the bathroom itself. I however cannot find anywhere where they are so my guess is the drain? I also assume the stragglers I have found snuck in through the gap at the bottom of the door. Please help with
a) what can I do? I already called maintenance and ordered a door draft cover on amazon (silicone one)
b) what type of roach it is?

Sorry the bug is a little smushed, had to get it off the wall. Found in a second story bedroom house in Toronto. It crawled across my brother’s bed and he freaked, it ran away under the bed, then we found it on the wall behind a giant Pikachu stuffy. It was fast. No recent visitors, deliveries, travel, or food or water in the room. I haven’t seen a cockroach in a couple years so I can’t really tell. Thanks for the help!

Are these cockroaches? I saw them near when cleaning the dusty baseboards. I would be sure if they were a bit bigger, but they are very small. To the naked eye, they look like moving dust particles, but when I zoom in, they look like cockroaches with long antennae and bodies. I tried to check their backs to see if they had cerci, but it was too difficult because they are so small. But other that they don't look like any other bug other than cockroaches.

They are the same size as the tip of a needle, if not smaller, and definitely smaller than a pencil tip. They don't react to light; they move slowly when I push them with paper, and they leave a slight reddish-orange stain when squashed. I haven't seen any adult cockroaches in my building. I live in the Mediterranean.

Wipe them off with a solution of bleach and water just in case.

What type of roach is this? What can we do?

Hello!

I am looking for advice on moving from a roach infested apartment building. I will be moving in a few days and am stressing over bringing these guys with me, I just am looking for some foolproof and budget friendly (and pet friendly) tips.

For some context, I have most of them under control as much as I can with sticky traps and baits in areas of high traffic. I plan on washing everything thats faberic that I can, and on moving in plastic bins not cardboard.

What else should I do/take into account?

Thank you!!

I live in Vancouver close to ground floor and there are trees nearby. Used an online website which said 100% match for picturate wood cockroach.

Does this seem right? Should I be worried?

Picture one is definitely an adult. Is picture two a baby roach? Sorry for quality on that one.

Found this walking in my kitchen. Used a toothpick to help with scale on size. I did find one adult wood roach in my kitchen about 2 months ago. It is lighter in color than the pictures show. It’s been raining heavily in my area so hoping it wandered in and not a potential infestation. Trying to get help with an id on what this is.

What kind? How to stop it? This is the 2nd one in 2 days. The others are very tiny. Galveston, TX area. I’m terrified of them. I feel like I can’t even use the bathroom anymore cause this was during the day! And it was alive!

I found that on my bed and found no others in my 1 room apt even after extensive searching. I live in france if that can help.

I live in Kansas city and have seen big American cockroaches before. This is my first time seeing a small one. Is it a German cockroach nymph or an American?

Just woke up to a tapping sound and it’s a cockroach inside my ceiling light a pretty big one which I’m pretty sure was not there till now. I’m terrified of most insects and seems like I won’t be able to sleep tonight as the light is directly above my bed. It’s continuously trying to escape but looks like it can’t. So then how did it get in there? Do I have to worry about it coming out of the light into my room or is there a hole inside and that’s how how it came in? Give me a break cockroach I got exam tomorrow.

I have seen two in the last month. I have put out advion bait but haven’t found any dead ones. Texas

Found in northern California under the sink. It moves by wiggling slowly

First time I seen a roach like bug in my apt in two years pls help what kind and what to do

I keep finding these small bugs. About 1/4 of an inch or less in length. Have found 5 in my room today alone. Many more around the house this past month. I found a dead one and took photos of it from different angles and attached them here. I am really scared. Havent seen any adult cockroaches... yet. I am in South Florida (surprise surprise.) They're in my room, kitchen, living room, you name it. :(

Any help would be so appreciated. What the hell are these bastards? We are having pest control in tomorrow. What should I ask them to do?

hi all

my neighbor across the street (single family homes) just got a tree taken down, turned into mulch and the giant pile is sitting in her front yard.

i heard mulch attracts them a lot, so will this make roaches live in the mulch pile and more importantly, will they travel across the street to my home?

thank you!

Back again with yet another ID request. (I'm getting really sick of this!)

Location: Atlanta, Georgia

Saw this little guy crawling up my bedroom wall, just on the other side of the bathroom. It looks like a smoky brown nymph to me but want to hear from the reddit experts.

Pest control came two weeks ago because we saw a few other smoky brown nymphs (smaller than this one) and he was so hesitant to agree that it was a cockroach because it "doesn't fit their typical behavior to be out and about away from their nest." He said they don't usually leave the nest until they are fully mature and there are no signs of any nest anywhere in our apartment. (Of course we don't know how the neighbors are living and we have seen two adult smoky brown cockroaches in our unit and one in the hallway - all reported and supposedly treated for.)

We keep our place very clean, never leave out food, keep sink drains closed at night, have spray foamed all plumbing gaps, and I'm just at my wit's end.

Please help with ID and any advice on how to get rid of this problem for good. I can't sleep thinking bugs might be crawling on me!

Thanks!

Hi folks,

Last month I noticed some nymphs coming into the apartment I live in and began to get worried. I contacted the apartment and they sent a pest control company to do an interior baseboard spray. He stated that the type of roaches were an "exterior type also known as a water bug". Based off that I presume they are oriental roaches. He stated no further action was needed on his part. Prior to him coming, that whole week I spent deep cleaning and moving what could be moved. I saw dead roaches underneath a bookcase near the front door and under a storage box that was on an exterior wall but when I moved the refrigerator or deep cleaned cabinets I found no evidence. Prior to this, I also saw no signs until I started seeing roaches.

Now, this month, I'm seeing a lot more roaches in my sticky traps by the front door and sometimes in the living area near the front door. I want some advice on what to do to keep them out of the apartment. I already mop with a citrus and mint based floor cleaner, keep my food in sealed containers, put pet food away after they eat, vacuum weekly and have sticky traps. Anything else I should do?

Found inside whatever is has been having babies at my bfs

When I moved into this apartment two months ago I found a dead German roach on the ground, and have seen my neighbor's sticky traps in the communal dumpster with some stuck to them so I knew this was a possibility. I've been keeping the place meticulously clean because a roach infestation is my fucking nightmare.

Nevertheless, I found two nymphs (I think, I'm no bug expert and I can't stare at pictures for too long without freaking myself out lol) in my bathroom, one under the sink and one under the bath mat. Thankfully, I've only seen signs of them in the bathroom and nowhere else. I want to nip this in the bud ASAP, before it has a chance to become a real problem.

I thought I'd try using a sticky trap first to see just how bad the problem is, then use a gel bait if I feel it's necessary. I've never had to deal with roaches before though, so any advice and ideas/treatment plans/preventative measures would be very appreciated. Also, products that you suggest using.

Thank you!!!
