My Work place has roaches.
We complain and complain and elevated it up to corporate that this is disgusting and needs to be taken care of. We get ignored.
A few weeks ago I came home and a goddamned roach ran up my lunch box and onto my arm. Now suddenly after 10 fucking years of owning this house there's little roaches running around for the first time. FML.

One of my old coworkers said the best way to get rid of roaches is to buy those white pet mice at the pet store and have them roam around the house free, they’ll eat all the roaches then you can pay for an exterminator to get rid of the mice. It’ll be a lot cheaper that way to get rid of them
Wtf
2 words…Social Media
the roach paste is the only way to get rid of them.
I had an apartment that was infested with German and American and I couldn't stop the ingress initially.
The paste is incredibly effective, but some roaches don't eat it. You cannot let those ones breed. So you use paste with sticky traps.
Took maybe 6 weeks but I cleared them out totally from my apartment, and if you turned the light on in the night you'd see 20-50 of both sizes.
Oh hell yeah! Thank you for the input I'll Google it.
Yo my bathroom has many roaches I mean I live in India I have a different type of toilet (Indian style ) the squaring ones. There is this water level thingy in it if it gets reduced u get random insects coming out of the pot
If those are German roaches you can easily bring those home and you're gonna have a bad time
What ever is in the Americas . In the desert on a septic and we'll serviced house. These mother fuckers came home to me thru a computer bad and some douche said "oh must smell like food". ..no motherfuckers my house is gross now. And the cats are well fed. Prolly gonna cost me a grand to treat.
Despite the name german roaches are very common in the US and are infamous for reproducing quickly and being very hard to get rid of. They will eat almost anything and an infestation can get out of hand pretty quickly. They are pretty small and are usually a tan color with two dark stripes running down the back of their head.
My uncle does pest control and he keeps a change of clothing in his truck in case he ends up at a place with german roaches. He's terrified of them hitching a ride home.
My old apartment had an infestation with the previous tenants. The place had been vacant a few months before moving in, solely to deal with the problem. Only way to get rid of them is to spray them with a chemical that kills their reproductive organs so they can’t breed and eventually die.
I did that. My office stinks. :) Thank you
Thank you for the clarification. I do appreciate it. I meant to explain where I am and to us it's just a common roach. Turns out you are correct!
German roaches are like half an inch long a light brown. Regular American roaches are big and fat and mostly dark brown.
