Looks like book louse right ?

Sorry for bad quality it was so small

Found in north Portugal in wardrobe

Was just wandering in circles maybe 1mm or less

New switch with a brand new screen protector but got the miserable corner 😅

(The last pic it was after i took the roach out of the jar with water and dish washing detergent.)

3 weeks ago I caught what looked like a German cockroach, in the kitchen cabinet (it had dark marks near the head). I got worried since it was at noon, when i was cooking lunch.

The next day I heard multiple moving under the sofa in the living room at night (it's a small open kitchen/living room space). A few hours later I found what looked like a roach in the store room near the kitchen, but it flew against my phone light and then flew off toward the bathroom or entrance — I couldn't find it after that. The way it flew, looked like a roach and was kinda big it was too straight, that makes me think it couldn’t have been the big moth I found dead a few days under the sofa.

The next morning I found what looked like roach feces near a box of onions in the store room (corrugated cardboard box). I threw it away immediately. The pic only show what it was left.

During a few days I saw what other tech told me that could be country mouse feces but other where bigger like form a rat.

I put down a few traps and called a technician, who added 2 more traps plus gel bait. 3 weeks later: 0 roaches trapped, 0 dead, 0 seen alive. Only silver-fish where caught.

The tech thinks it's unlikely this came from elsewhere in the building, he said that would usually mean more sightings by now. He thinks it came from groceries or some mail package.

I'm having a hard time feeling at ease about this — does this sound like a one-off, or should I still be worried?

I think I might have german-roach fobia at this point, it has been a very hard time, it cant relax.

Looks like an exoskeleton of some sort

Was under my desktop tower.

Found in Coimbra, Portugal

Found one on the baseboard in bed room and another one on my led when i was on the computer.

German Roach situatuion

Hello to understand my situatuion and how bad this can be

Day 1- I found a german roach on my kitchen cabinet door gaps at 12 am

I catched it, sorry for bad pics the One She is dead its was after the water and soap

That day i bough some isc and glue traps

Day 2- I did not Saw anything on the traps, i was looking in the store Room and kitchen for some eggs or a nest

At 4am i went to the kitchen and heard a few noises under the sofa

6am i went to the store room and Saw something flying to a lower Shell, the to the floor, then flew in my direction, and then flew out of the living room and lost the track of it, thought it was another roach

Day 3 - say and bunch of feces on the store room near the onions box, out the box to the trash (PIC of the remaning feces on the sheel) and called the desinfestation company and they come the apply some gel isc on the same day, heard some noises on my Room/Room wall like "tec" like a touch on some kneaded paper.

Day 4 - found that thing on the dish washing machine, thought it was an wet opened ootheca, and some things that looked like fruit fly pupas. Not sure what it was, maybe roach feces.

Day 5 - still nothing on the glue traps and put some trash boxes away

Day 6 - still nothing on the glue traps

Day 7 - still nothing on the glue traps and gel seems like untouched

Day 8 - noticed some wierd things on my computer screen (imagem) might be less 1mm lenght and 0.1mm thickness.

Day 9 today - called a tecnician to inspect that and other things from the past like black dots inside my water cilinder control box, he say its was just dirt and rust (its very old), about the screen he said it might be from some kinda of fly or moths, and he found a big moth on a box under the sofa (might be the other one that flew away the 2nd night.

Still nothing on the glue traps that i've put,the tecnician put another 2 but I dont know where.

Not sure whats happening if It was just a casual roach or if i acted so fast that they died on the nest, as a casual roach i belive it can be from my neighbor (its an appartment, they are very very gross), the tech said the roachs would come back eventually if the nest is on the other house.

I Will leave this appartment eventually on the Next month just need to know when its safe, and what I can do to do not take roaches with me

Btw he is coming back for more gel in 2 weeks
