Found these small brown things under my kitchen sink in my apartment (Pohang, South Korea). Are they eggs or related to roaches? Have killed two small roaches in the past month or so, also in kitchen, just on the outside of the cabinet doors. I think there’s a dead one under the stovetop?
Here are videos that better show the actual size of these things as well as the suspected dead roach I just found: https://imgur.com/a/l9qhyp3
Hello roach connoisseurs. Apologies in advance for my long-windedness, I wanted to provide as much context and background as possible because I’m extremely anxious and I want as much support and evidence as possible so I can leave!
I was inspecting everything for bugs when I saw these oblong brownish things in the cabinet under the sink and on the side next to the stove top. I don’t know if they were just not there last time I checked, or if I didn’t look closely enough. I don’t know what the discoloration and grime near them is, the mess was from the previous tenant and due to fear and disgust, I haven’t wanted to even touch this cabinet.
I’m in Korea and I moved into this apartment in the end of February. I was fine until maybe a couple weeks in when I came across a small roach in the kitchen. It was on the backsplash behind the stove top, not big at all. After killing it (sorry roach lovers), I hadn’t seen another so I thought it was just an unlucky visitor.
Just a week or so ago, I found another small roach! Also in the kitchen, this time on the outside of the sink cabinet doors. I haven’t seen another yet, but I’ve been paranoid. Hence why I was inspecting the cabinet today and then I found the brown things. I then looked under the stove top and saw what looks to be a dead roach (I think I see a leg 😭) next to a piece of old burnt food from the last tenant of course (haven’t cooked anything on the stove because it disgusts me) - see imgur videos.
Are those things under the sink related to the roaches? Are they eggs? Sheddings? Poop? Or are they from a different bug entirely?
I’m trying to collect more evidence so my school will hopefully move me to a different apartment as I’m already dealing with a foreign grain beetle infestation and excess mold under the floors that was there for god knows how long. This was just the icing on top of a sickening and stressful cake.
TLDR: found these brown things in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Moved in to apartment end of February, saw first small roach mid-March on the wall behind stove top. Saw another small roach a week or so ago on the outside of the sink cabinet. Today, I also discovered what I think is a dead roach under the stove top (see Imgur videos). What are the brown things? Are they from roaches?
