r/GermanRoaches

My family just got a new rental house and put out sticky traps for a few days as I haven’t been able to tour the property beforehand. We found no signs of roach or pest infestations even behind fridges and such. The third day we found this on the sticky trap. Is it a german roach nymph or some other sort of bug? I have been paranoid about this quite a lot. Any help would be appreciated, the door is a bit loose near this sticky trap so it could have come from outside but it being small concerns me. Thank you in advance.

Welp, here I find myself again in an apartment with German roaches. My last apartment was completed invested to the point where I couldn’t even use my kitchen cabinets. Had to throw away so many different electronics and it was just an absolute nightmare. Moved to a new place and automatically signed up for the pest control. Been living here for about 6 months now, and after the pest control came out they all started to come out. I don’t know what to do, I tried everything at the last apartment. I know this infestation can get bad extremely quickly. Do I hire an expert? I already know the management at the complex probably won’t do anything about it.

Hi you all

Just got the keys to a new apt Im renting. As Im cleaning, I see about 10 dead German roaches and about 6 alive in the span of two hours.

The place is super clean but they seem to be living in the kitchen. Somehow a few tiny ones were able to get inside the fridge (How is this possible?)

I talked with the next door neighbor and she said she started seeing them about a month ago. She's had pest control a couple times but not much results.

I also have a toddler, which is my main concern.

Should I try and get out of here, or should I fight them?

I dont have much time and must decide.

Should I ask to get my fridge replaced at least?

Bought a vive tracker on an auction and it was unfortunately delivered in a "messy" state, I cant see any actual bodies but the debris is suspicious to me.

Gpt is all over the place, rust, ants, roaches, leaking batteries, etc

Anyone able to help identify if this is a roach infestation? Going to be isolating it and using isopropyl alcohol in the interim regardless.

Thanks in advance

Just found this crawling up a new bag of dry cat food. We just opened the bag one minute before we found this. I think maybe it came from the bag or from outside as we leave our kitchen window cracked open all the time?

I’ve never seen them before but have had a few in my bathroom today

It’s tiny. I had to zoom in on a video to get a clear image. It was dead in the living room this morning

Hi everyone, I’m looking for help with identification because I’m really anxious about this.

We are in Germany. I found one cockroach-looking insect in my shared flat/WG, and my girlfriend found three in her apartment. We live in different towns, so these are not from the same building.
In my WG, I do not have trees directly in front of my room, only tram lines outside. In my girlfriend’s apartment, there are trees directly in front of the balcony, although she does have a net. Most of the ones in her apartment were found near the window/balcony area. One was found near a food shelf/rack, but the food there is packaged.

I’m trying to figure out if these look like German cockroaches or more like wood cockroaches that came in from outside.

Could anyone help identify them from the pictures? Should we be worried about an infestation?

Found this inside the house by my front door. He was about an inch long. Located in SW Florida. Really hoping it’s not a German, but I can’t tell for sure

What do I do??? OMG I trapped them and covered everything where they could possibly come from, they’re the tiny ones and it’s my first time ever seeing those im so scared I don’t want an infestation, I didn’t see those yesterday at night

Hi! I caught this behind my fridge. This is German, right? Located in Massachusetts.

these are mostly around 1-2 mm in size, i recently moved out of a house because i saw around 4-5 roaches, is this what im afraid of?

1st smaller roach found in basement on a storage bin during the day. 2nd pic (dead one under the tape) was in our kitchen but came directly from the basement door also during the day. Not sure what either is if anyone can help! TIA

I have seen two in the last week

I saw this in my kitchen when I pulled out my drawer. Caught it eating some advion gel bait I put out since I saw one in there the other day. Also saw one in the bathroom sink that looked much smaller.
