Is this a cockroach?

Is this a cockroach?

Found in Louisville, KY. It was found dying by a window in our living room. It’s the only one we’ve found living here for three years. Did a little flip in the air when I tried to pick it up to get rid of it.

If it is a cockroach, should I be concerned about an infestation? It’s been super hot here so I’m just hoping this is a one off guy sneaking in through the window to avoid the heat.

Found in NJ - what species?

Was found on mail that had been sitting near the entrance of my house for a few days. This guy looks roachlike, but seems too grey for any of the more common types of roach. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is this a dead cockroach or a dead silverfish?

I just found this dead bug on a pile of dirty laundry. We’ve never seen cockroaches in our house but I’ve always seen lots of silverfish. This looks a bit different to me so I’m worried it’s a cockroach.

Cockroaches?

I have been traveling around to different locations for med school. When I was in Nashville, my apartment had cockroaches. Since then, I have noticed what appear to be cockroach nymphs at every location. Are these cockroaches?

What should I do from here? I will be in the current house for the foreseeable future so I would like to solve this problem. I have two cats and would like any treatment to be safe for them.

wasn’t sure how to add photos so I’m just reposting with different pictures. These are pictures from the Nashville apartment. Are these cockroaches? I know the photos are awful, but hopefully I can still get an ID.

Two nymphs last week, one today

Last week in KY, we had some pretty heavy rain. Afterwards, I found two small roaches: one near a floor vent in my kitchen, one near a floor vent in my bathroom. Both twitching/dying. It got me a little worried but r/pestcontrol said probs not a big deal, they look like oriental.

It hasn’t rained for a few days but it’s been really hot. Today, I found another in my tub about a week later. Completely dead.

We sprayed the perimeter and inside of my place about two months ago. I have literally never seen nymphs in an apartment in my life, and am unsure if I need to be worried about these. Before this, I’d only seen the occasional dead large one or live one hanging around my patio.

I have some sticky traps around my house but plan to put down some large bait traps as well.

Are these anything to be worried about?

cockroach nymph?

I have been traveling around to different locations for med school. When I was in Nashville, my apartment had cockroaches. Since then, I have noticed what appear to be cockroach nymphs at every location. Are these cockroaches? This one was about the size of a flax seed.

Did they invade my things and follow me? What should I do from here? I will be in the current house for the foreseeable future so I would like to solve this problem. I have two cats and would like any treatment to be safe for them.

I think I got a pregnant one and some spawn kills.

I hate these fuckers. The one on the left looks pregnant and has the egg sack barely hanging out her ass. Got all her babies too. Fuckers.

Please help me know what type of cockroach this is, found in NJ

Was found in my basement sucking some sugar off a napkin that had a coffee stain on it. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a roach in the basement where I live, and it also was seen after a very bad summer thunder storm with huge winds (blew trees over)

Is this what I think it is?

I’m located in Nj. We’ve seen 4 of these in random spots through our house. (2 were dead in a window sill). We are extremely clean people so I’m really concerned at why we are seeing these. It looks like a German cockroach nymph. I’m really hoping not. The past few days have been 100 deg+, not sure if that can affect anything. Thanks for any help!

What is the bug? Found in Chicagoland

I’m really anxious about bugs and I’m freaking out. I found this bug outside the bathroom in a carpeted area. Added a quarter for scale. Could it be a beetle?
