r/cockroaches

Pretty sure it’s a cockroach but I don’t know what kind. Found it in the kitchen floating in a glass of water on the counter.

This was in a bathroom. Haven’t seen anything that looks like it here before. Very small so this was the best pic I could get. Southern California

Is this a roach?? This is on top of the sink of the bathroom. Located in Austin TX

I live in an apartment in Georgia, USA. These little buggers just started popping up a few weeks ago once the weather got warm so I’m hoping/thinking it’s a palmetto bug. Please tell me this isn’t a German roach

I sprayed him with alcohol and he died immediately it was glorious, but I can’t deal with German roaches and will cry if he is one

For context, I live in FL and started seeing these cockroaches in my electric vehicle a few weeks ago, mostly started seeing small ones like this and then started seeing bigger ones here and there. I have children, ages 2 and 3, and they eat in the car - which I'm going to put a stop to. I believe this is why I ended up with them. I completely cleaned my car out, stopped driving it, and used Advion gel bait and the little circular gel bait tablet things from Amazon.

Now that three weeks have gone by, and after being out of town last week, I checked the car today and saw one baby cockroach in the very back, but no others. I haven't driven this vehicle at all during this time, which sucks because my other vehicle is a truck and gas prices are awful as everyoke knows. Can anyone tell me what breed this may be? And also what should I do now, now that there seem to be more hatching, and the gel & gel traps haven't completely solved the issue? Unless this is just from eggs left over that are still hatching. I have no idea what to do and don't want to drive this car until they're all gone... I do NOT want to bring any of these into my house. Any help is appreciated!

Finding these in the basement almost daily and now sporadically on some higher floors of the house in the last 2 weeks (2 sightings on upper floors about a week apart from each other - rest all in the basement).

Getting conflicting answers on oriental vs wood roach.

Have a pest control company that comes every 2 months to spray interior and exterior but unsure how effective if these are wood roaches finding their ways inside.

Located NYC suburbs near large park.

Two months ago I saw 3 cockroaches in the span of a week in the kitchen. After checking everything and not finding anything I kinda let it go. Now, after weeks I woke up in the middle of the night to seeing another one in my bedroom. I'm pretty sure the one's I saw in the kitchen were either babies or just very small. Either way I'm freaking out. The one in my bedroom ran away and I can't find it anywhere. They look somewhat like on the picture I found online. I did have my window open so I'm hoping it was just one who found its way inside 🥲.
I dont have my own picture but they were more "pointy" in a way, not as rounded in shape. Please help, freaking out!!

Is this a roach? I hit it with bug spray but it seemed pretty resistant. Took a lot longer to die.

What kind is this

I live in the Midwest

I hate roaches. Literally want to sell and move. Please let me know how bad. Not even joking.

Last week I bought some lobster roaches and prepared a place for them in this box five days ago, but to this day I haven't seen a single cockroach even touch the food I put in, which was a container with dog food mixed with chicken feed, which they said is a great food for them. And on top of the egg cartons that I put as shelter for them, I placed pieces of slightly damp collards, and they didn't touch that either. From the first day until now I haven't seen any change in their food, as if it were exactly the same as when I put it. I only see them in the tube where I put water and cotton. Does anyone know what I should do? I also wanted to say that I don't see any roaches between the two egg cartons that I placed one on top of the other, which I also found strange. They only stay underneath and don't go to "the second floor" of them. Is this normal? I also don't know if anyone here does insect farming, but any help is welcome.

Virginia, live near woods, it just rained over night, found at top of stairs near a window. I suspect a gap in the window because wasps and bees keep getting in around there. I do not see roaches often so I was surprised to see this big fella. Maybe about 1.5 inch. Any way to identify?

Is this a Pennsylvania wood roach or a infestor? Seen a 3 since the rainstorm and I’m worried. I live in the Midwest USA.

Just found this in my living room. I found another roach of similar size a few weeks ago (4-28) and my landlord came out to spray and lay traps. Should I consider breaking my lease? I haven’t seen any sightings since.

edit: chicago IL

Found outside apartment door in the morning. Has some normal roach features but stripped antennae and odd shaped body. Anyone able to verify please? Only thinking German due to size - smaller than a penny.

[SOLVED] Long-horned beetle for anyone else who may misidentify as a roach like my stupid dumb self did.

What kind of roach is this? How do I get rid of them? I have found 2 in my house today in New England. Do I call an exterminator?

I’ve been seeing a big uptick in these things. idk if I should be worrie. I know the only okay one is the Pennsylvania wood roach

looks like a female getting a snack, caught what looks like a Male with fully developed wings next to a nymph. I live around a lot of woods and leaf litter just 10 feet from my house

around NJ NY area like I said surrounded by healthy wildlife but still suburbs
