In and outside our house (inside one, outside more of them)

This is a small one. Also found one about an inch long.

      Specifically a German cockroach, the infesting kind. Not because it’s in Germany that’s just what they’re called. Kill them all immediately.

    The one featured in the picture seems like a “Bernstein Waldschabe”. Just a harmless little friend that gets trapped inside sometimes. No killing (and no panic) required A Deutsche Schabe has black stripes on its head

        I wouldn’t consider those as stripes, there are many pictures showing a comparison, I’d think those slightly darker areas are shadows. The stripes that mark a cockroach are really dark and distinctive, way more ‘stripey’ - maybe look for a photo from directly above to compare it with yours. The one on your picture looks harmless to me. They like to eat leaves and will die of hunger inside of the house

          I only found one inside. Hope little leaf eater is alright.

          Thanks for the infos. I never had to deal with cockroaches before. Glad I’m on the safe side.
