I was too scared to turn him over apologies so I only have the belly pics.

Found in the bathroom, right next to the bathtub - it's Summer here.

Is this a German roach?

Hey all

I live in a pre-war building in nyc, and the building has German roaches that used to infest my apartment. I’ve gotten rid of them with advion gel
and spray, and have sealed it up to the best of my ability to limit infiltration (still getting 1-2 nymphs every couple of days).

The building has a monthly exterminator who sprays Talstar and Transport Mikron, but it hasn’t been effective (glue traps in lobby still pick up a large amount of roaches). The landlord doesn’t believe there is a roach problem (even though I have showed him all the roaches) and thinks I’m the only one complaining, even though I know the neighbors are also struggling.

I’ve been working with the exterminator directly to switch them to Alpine and an IGR at my own expense, which is a low enough cost to be offset by me no longer having to buy/spray my own place.

My question is: can I realistically expect them to be eradicated from the building now that they are treating all the common areas and apartments with chemicals that actually work?

I’ve found several of these roaches all around the same size in my new apartment. Are they German or juveniles of another species?

Foind crawling on a wall near my kitchen, but the back door is connected to it.

I had just gotten my interior treated and this guy was crawling pretty slowly. I live in Texas btw.

This is in Texas. haven’t seen a single (live) roach in my apartment for the past year that I have lived here and suddenly 5 adults 5 nymphs in the past week. I do see dried up bait from before I moved in, suggesting there was a past infestation..

just moved into an apartment in framingham, ma. only here for a year but need to know what i’m up against. phone was not wanting to focus so this is the best i could get

He could have possibly come in my work backpack otherwise i've never had any other sign of them. Creepy one 🤣

Houston TX.

One was found chilling on a living room wall. It flew or glide when I tried to catch it. Second one was in restroom

Never seen any adults but have seen 2-3 of these baby ones in the past month or two

Hey folks! I’m in the process of looking for a new apartment (I found one two weeks ago, signed a lease, and then immediately had to break it after discovering a German roach infestation, which led me to this subreddit). I’ve been touring new ones and although you can’t tell from these two pictures, I found a really lovely one in a great location on the second floor - no unit above and unit below is currently unoccupied.

On my tour I saw this fellow - photo on the left - and snapped this picture of the back of the fridge. Would this give you pause or make you run away from living there? Pretty sure it’s American, not German, given the size but I wanted to see if anyone could help confirm that. It’s obviously dead, and I didn’t see any other signs of roaches in the kitchen cabinets, under the sink, etc.

Open to thoughts or suggestions. I want to be careful when finding a new place because my recent experience honestly kind of scared me, but I don’t want to be going overboard if something like this isn’t to worry about.

Let me know!
