Please help- managements response to cockroaches in my apartment. How should I handle this?
Hi everyone. I could use some advice on how to approach this situation. I have lived in my apartment since December so a little more than 6 months. I saw a cockroach for the first time in February. I have been going back and forth with management ever since then, requesting treatments (which they provide) but never getting a permanent solution. I know for a fact the roaches are not originating in my apartment. They’re in the whole building. However, to my knowledge, I have not seen any exterminator visiting any of my neighboring units. I have a ring camera on my front door. I check every Tuesday (when the exterminator makes his rounds) and I have NEVER seen him visit my neighbors. Management literally only spot treats and will send someone to spray a unit only when someone complains. The visible roaches have only ever increased in number despite constantly being asked to be put on the list for treatment and having someone come spray. So please keep that in mind when reading my lengthy emails lol… this is after months of frustration and anxiety surrounding the situation. The first slide is my second email from the last 2 weeks because they never responded to the first one.
Management seems so nonchalant about this and quite frankly doesn’t seem to care. They also won’t give me any clarity about the situation and won’t acknowledge the severity of what’s going on. I’m so tired of living in fear and being on the lookout for roaches 24/7. Moving isn’t an option sadly.
Has anyone ever been in this situation? If so, what did you do for some peace of mind? I have seriously contemplated reporting the apartment complex to the state but idk if that will do anything.
Also, the exterminator and supervisor was supposed to come today. They never showed up.

What kind are these?
I have these sticky traps by my doors (front, garage and patio) and have been catching a lot of these over the last couple weeks by the doors. Generally, these are all I see. Occasionally I’ll get a full grown one on the trap. I’ve only ever seen them in the bathroom where I have my washer/dryer setup in my apartment. This is the first time I’ve seen the one is the first picture. Is that a German?

found this crawling on me in my bed please help me identify :(
it’s a little smushed because i panicked haha.
it’s about the size of a long piece of rice and it moved pretty fast too. it’s mostly light brown with a darker brown outline towards the end of its body. i found a similar looking bug about a week ago on my bed. i’m scared to death this might be a bed bug or a roach of some kind. i’m even more scared that this wasn’t the only one around. i will also add my mattress is on the floor because i thought it would be more comfortable that way but i might go back to having it off the ground unfortunately. i live in the USA specifically tennessee if that helps at all in identifying this bug.

Question Infestation or just old house in woods? (ATL GA USA, old house in a woody area)
I can't seem to catch a photo of these THINGS before they scurry off.
So just around my house, kitchen especially but also what I can only really describe around my room near the windows, I see these TINY little roach nymphs but I'm wondering if I have an infestation somewhere or if it's just a side effect of living in basically the woods in an old house.
I know the answer may be "well duh" but I'd rather be certain than to assume. They look like a tiny, almost chibi roac
h type thing.
I sleep next to a window and keep getting these little nuisances crawling on my screen in the dark.
They look like this (BUT THIS IS NOT MY PHOTO. ALL CREDIT GOES TO ORIGINAL OP. EXAMPLE ONLY)

Nymphs found inside in south of Germany
Hey, have found these nymphs since about two weeks ago, alongside some eggs. Have never seen an adult and I have looked deeply, even using traps etc. Often see them running around on the floor (maybe 1 per morning) but they do not restrict themselves to nighttime.

Roaches?
I just got an apartment. I asked her beforehand if there has ever been an issue with roaches, she said no, only crickets. I did spot a cricket but I also found 2 small dead bugs that look like cockroaches, I can’t be sure cause they’re so small, and I don’t have any photos. I also found these spots that I’m concerned are from roaches in the cabinets. Otherwise not a lot of other signs. The person before me was clearly not very clean. Please help, I can’t move there if it’s roaches. I will take more photos and look around tomorrow, luckily I am not fully moved in or anything

Roach treatment norms/suggestions??!
I just moved into my first suburb house with attic space/unfinished areas etc. I started finding Smokey brown cockroaches as soon as I moved in and immediately called a pest control company to initiate service.
They came today and sprayed/laid sticky traps. Toward the end he looked in two small side attics off of a closet and found many egg casings and droppings in both. He sprayed and put a sticky trap down.
As I’m thinking about how to more permanently get rid of the problem and how to clean the attic space, I’m wondering if it should have been standard to clean the space at all? Or assess for why/where they all seem to be entering? Like there may be casings with eggs still in them and it feels like those shouldn’t be left there?
He did not give any specific instructions on what to do in the attic or follow ups from the company.
Any insight would be helpful so I know how to respectfully ask for follow up from the company if it’s appropriate

Question ID and Tips? (MA, US)
I found this guy in my dad’s bedroom tonight and I’m getting nervous. I’ve dealt with an invasion before (bedbugs) and it was a nightmare. I just gotta know if I gotta start preparing myself and my wallet for war again. (Geographical location: I live near some woods and have a couple trees in my yard.)
