r/GermanRoaches

What’s this from? Peeled some old vinyl flooring back in the bottom of a cabinet and found it. Already got a sticky trap out for safe measures!

Is it an infesting type or just something that came in from outside? Ventura County, California

Hello guys, I recently wanted to learn Piano so I bought a digital one off Facebook Marketplace until I started seeing baby roaches and 2 even crawled on my hand.

I’ve put Advion everywhere and saw a roach presumably eaten? And then checked under my PC and saw these small shells.

Can anyone please let me know if these are German Roaches please. Thank you!

After cleaning out my garage I’ve seen a bunch of these guys. We live near wooded parts but live in a residential area. I’m not very familiar with roaches so: What brand of terror is it I’m looking at here?

Found inside home

Roughly a week ago I moved into a new apartment which I have been deep cleaning for the past week. today my girlfriend and I found these dead german roaches on top of and in the cabinets of the kitchen but we haven’t found any live ones for the week I’ve been living in the apartment. I’ve already contacted the landlord but they don’t respond this late at night. how screwed am I and what should I do?

(edit)

landlord is sending out the exterminator. I still have yet to find any lives ones and any dead ones anywhere but the cabinets and a single one in the range hood. i’ve moved all my appliances and deep cleaned and I talked to the downstairs tenant and she said she’s never had issues with roaches in the last 3 years. the previous tenant in my unit was disgusting so i assume my unit was the source. I also disposed of all of them in the cabinets and scrubbed with vinegar to eliminate pheromones. I’ll set up some glue traps today to monitor. anything else I should do? should I still move my stuff in?

Is this a german roach? I saw on the look-alikes page that there are many species that are similar. After I killed it I just googled "cockroach with brown stripes on head" and was told that it was a german. Squished the little guy, so sorry for the bad pic.

I live in a multi-unit apartment complex and my leasing office said they would come by tomorrow to spray. I'm moving in about a month so I'm worried about transporting them to my new building...how boned am I?

EDIT: I'm in PA if that makes a difference

Not sure how many folks here are familiar with Australia, but this guy was running around our study, presumably just a wanderer.

We moved into the place in January and contended with a lot of non-german roaches outside and 1 adult and a few nymphs of the german sort inside. 2 pest treatments (most recent being in March) seamed to sort it out and this is the first we've seen in 2 months.

I'm pretty sure this is a german? It was maybe 10mm or so. It's not an adult I don't think so based on the Wiki it seems there is no need to worry for now? We're very much not keen on roaches...

We're going into winter now as well so really don't expect to see many of the buggers. We live in a villa with our gouse touching our neighbours at points.

Thanks for the help.

Can someone tell me what this is I'm starting to get freaked out

Any help would be appreciated please and thank you

Hello!

Thank you in advance for your help. I found two roaches today in the daytime and in my living room. Both are pictured here. The darker brown one was found first behind my couch while I was cleaning and the second lighter brown one was behind some larger items I was storing in a corner. Pretty sure the second is a German cockroach.

I immediately cleaned behind everything I could and grabbed some immediate stuff at Walmart. I put down Combat roach killing bait and Combat roach gel in the areas I discovered them and thru out the house. I have Advion Gel and glue traps coming end of the week, and Gentrol Point Source coming end of the month.

I have two children and am pregnant with my third and I am constantly cleaning my home. I am in complete panic mode and feel so upset that roaches are in the same space as my children.

Is this enough? Is this too much? Thank you again.

Just moved into a new place and we keep killing a couple these 0.5 to 1 inch cockroaches. Are they German ?

I recently moved into an apartment for a summer (I’m subleasing for a short-term job this summer) and I’ve seen maybe 4-6 of these guys in the bathroom within the past week. Could anyone please help me determine whether or not I’m dealing with german roaches here?

I’m also moving out in ~3 months, so I’m worried about taking them with me back home. If anyone could help with information on how I should approach the move-out process I would be very grateful.

For information I’ve only seen them in the bathroom and never seen any adults, but from what I understand seeing the babies is a bad sign. The shower faucet is also leaky, which might be attracting them because of the water.

saw what I suspect to be a German roach crawling on living room wall at around 7pm (the first three are all the same one) & after I did my search of all the usual hiding places, I found what I think is a nymph under my kitchen sink, sponge for size reference (lol)

These pictures aren’t the greatest, so I’m not sure if it’s possible to confirm, but wanted to try!

Location- California

edit: want to clarify the one under my sink was already dead, most likely from bait that I always have around the house as a precaution

I've been spotting these for about 2 weeks now. Usually one a week in a single room

After putting out gel baits and cups I've been seeing them closer to nightly. Don't react to light or me entering the room until I try to kill them.

Believe they are in one part of the room primarily because that is the only gel being touched. Less than 2 days gel placed I found one dying (upside down) in the center of the room. The next night I kept seeing them wandering out of that room with all the lights in the house on, and have been seeing them on my trash barrels/wall outside.

German?
