One of the funniest moments in one of the funniest playthroughs

Hello!

I live in an apartment building in Michigan. I live on the 3rd floor. I’ve lived here for 5 years and have NEVER seen any sort of roach or sign of roaches here, nor have I had roaches at any point in my life… that is, up until 4 days ago.

Out of nowhere, I have seen a German roach, each one a different age, almost every day. I have seen 3 roaches in the past 4 days.

The first one I saw (pictured above) was on my dining room room wall. It was an older nymph. I sprayed and killed it. I immediately deep cleaned my kitchen and checked the cabinets and drawers. No signs of roaches; no droppings, no shells. I checked under my stove… Nothing.

The next night I saw an ADULT roach next to my trash can. I killed it and immediately panicked and called my apartment manager the next day. Thankfully the exterminator was visiting that very day, so he came and checked behind my fridge and under the kitchen sink and saw nothing there as well. He set a sticky trap under my kitchen sink and behind my bathroom toilet and will be back in 2 weeks for a full treatment in the kitchen and bathroom.

That helped me feel better. But today, I was in my bedroom and my cat spotted ANOTHER roach on my bedroom doorframe! It was a baby, even younger than the nymph I saw the first time, but still pretty fast and capable. I sprayed and killed it. Don’t roaches only show up in the bedroom in extreme infestation cases??!

I’m very confused on what’s happening here. There’s no sign of any infestation besides the actual roaches themselves. This all started out of absolutely nowhere. I’m honestly about to buy more sticky traps and put them in more rooms than just the two I currently have in the kitchen and bathroom. I’m also thinking about buying my own treatment stuff in the meantime because I don’t know how many little babies will be born in here after another 2 weeks of this.

What do you guys think is happening here? I have never had roaches ever in my life, I’m super scared. Every time I see a cat staring at something behind me I freak out and dive away in the opposite direction because I’m so jumpy now.

Hi guys, wondering if this is a German roach. I’ve lived in my apartment for 5 years and haven’t seen anything like this until today.. I’m pretty sure it is a German roach but the only thing throwing me off is the two brown lines down it’s back are light brown and not dark brown/black?

Is it a German roach?

Hi guys, I went to the dermatologist for a suspicious mole on my back and he looked at it for about 10 seconds and said he isn’t worried about it. I came in because the mole started fading rapidly within 2 months and it doesn’t look like any other mole on my body.

He seemed to really discourage the biopsy and said he’s “99.99% sure” it’s not malignant. He kept emphasizing how big the scar would be and how everyone would be able to see it on my back and I’m only 24 so he doesn’t think I should get an unnecessary scar like that when it’s probably fine.

Honestly I am pretty concerned about it and want to get it biopsied but he seemed so sure and I don’t want a huge scar on my back. I thought the biopsy scars were small and faded pretty well? The way he described it made it seem like it would be a huge ugly scar.

Can someone please let me know what they think? I want to biopsy but Im worried about a huge scar. Is it really true or was he exaggerating?

I’m very sorry to post this here when I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I don’t know anywhere else I can post where I can get advice specifically from people who’ve been through biopsy before. Please forgive me but I’m really seeking some help on this decision. I know this post will probably be taken down by mods soon but I’m hoping to get some advice before it is

Is this normal?
