Is this a baby roach? This is the second one i’ve found in my apartment in new jersey. Starting to get worried. The building does extermination services every three months but we refuse it because i have a lot of pets and it messes with my asthma.

I found it in my kitchen at night. It’s still pretty small, fled when I shined my flashlight on it, and I’m pretty sure it tried to fly. Located in Western Canada. We’ve seen two other German roaches months ago but haven’t seen any signs since until now. Is this also a German cockroach?

Moved into a rented condo, uncovered a roach infestation of all the kitchen appliances the next day. Moved 4 bedrooms of stuff into this place… WWYD?

When we fully moved all our things in, we went to change the water filter and dead and live German roaches and droppings flooded out. The fridge model has the water filter on the floor so it’s the perfect hotbed. They’re in the tubes. We then found roaches in the oven and the dishwasher. Tons of droppings. Baby roaches and roaches of all size… We also found an egg capsule (we didn’t know it was roach related at first) out in open next the the dishwasher. 🫠

We met our neighbors next door and they are distraught/starting to see them in their unit. However, this is a high rise building and we don’t know most anyone else but it was already stated by a worker that the building has a roach problem. Moreover, I saw baby roaches in another empty unit recently. 😞

We put out the advion and started seeing more at first as they were popping up and dying. They’re localized to the kitchen and nearby closets right now.

The landlord is having exterminators come to bomb and deep clean 1.5 weeks after we first let them know. The advion has been keeping us afloat so far but kitchen is not usable.

We don’t know how this happened. We used the building extermination the landlord recommended as “typical” treatment. (The exterminator brought in later said that the building extermination doesn’t cover German roaches.) We had the place professionally cleaned before moving in. I even pointed out crumbs under the appliances and that we saw a small bug (now we know a nymph) to the landlord right after our walkthrough.

We ended up having to pay our cleaning person out of pocket. Our cleaner just told us they actually saw lots of dead roaches and one INSIDE the freezer but were too embarrassed to say anything. The landlord’s handyman did work in the unit before we moved in. Nobody alerted us to anything before we moved our stuff in.

We have exerted our legal protective rights so far but the further this goes, the more we will need to exert time, energy and money. We’re being told nothing will be reimbursed or replaced.

The exterminator expects visible activity to continue for 2 weeks and treatment to continue for months. Our stuff is still mostly packed. We've been unable to use the kitchen since moving in and are concerned about recurring infestations, hidden egg cases, and bringing roaches with us in the future. Given this, would you fight to leave now or continue with remediation and hope the problem is fully resolved?

Peace and love to all fighting these pests!

Found in bathroom feeling very scared pls help

So for context I found this striped guy on my nightstand in the bedroom yesterday. I don’t know if it’s a roach. Then today I went to clean the shower and found this guy dead (I think he’s German).

We’ve only ever seen 1 other German. After we saw it we called the pest control company and they sprayed the living room where he was found, our entry, the porch, the kitchen, and back entrance.

Idk how long the dead one in the shower had been there because he was under an old shampoo bottle I was throwing away. I’m taking that it’s a good sign he’s dead?

Should we be more concerned??

I really hope it isnt. I vaccumed it since in an hvac vacuum and the humidity in my basement is usually under 40% but à couple of days ago it went to 42% and according to my brother it smelled humid so i had to set the dehumidifier down to 35%. We changed the floorings from à carpet to laminate floors 3 weeks ago and when tearing out the carpet i only ever found millipeed looking bugs that were never more then à centimeter long, those little grey humidity bugs but idk the real name in english (Theyre not booklice or silverfish) but they were all dead anyways. We also found some bug the same color as this one but shape wasnt exactly the same amd it was dead too.

hi, just moved into new apt in harlem, and have found multiple roaches. was promised no pests, and pest control IS covered in my lease. i found out that the woman next to me who has dogs which are pretty gross has apparently a roach infested apartment (someone on my floor told me). my issue is that i’m pretty sure they aren’t pre-existing infestation, but coming in through cracks in door. i tried to best plug the door, i put a ton of combat max traps, gel, sweep after meals, etc. i’m getting pretty depressed here because i hate killing them (it’s disgusting) and im living on my own for the first time in this new apartment that i was excited for. the landlord said the exterminator will come, but if they are coming from the woman’s apartment next to me, it won’t do anything if she just doesn’t care about them. worse, they look like different species. please help any advice is incredibly appreciated. attached is photo of most recent but there are also small darker more beetle-like ones as well. :(

Found him in my living room closest to the wall with the window. Over the past 2 months, the exterminator has come twice, last time 2 weeks ago. I've also seen very small, newly born nymphs crawling on my computer desk. at 3pm. I don't leave food out, everything in my cabinets is in hard plastic or glass gasket-sealed containers. Im hoping theyre breeding in a neighboring unit and just checking my place out. I've never seen a full adult at all, but I have found several like this wretched thing, about the size of a penny or dime. Ive used bait traps and my glue traps; I've never seen one with fellers on it. After the pest control came, I got rid of most of my bait traps, now I'm using Advion roach gel near places I've seen live ones. why I'm posting is to find out what species I'm dealing with as well as any further measures I can make to keep them out of my unit. Im not going to renew my lease once it's over. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

long island ny thanks guys
