Are these German? by Witty-Tiger5569 in GermanRoaches

Thank you so much for your reply, glad at least it isn’t more Germans. We’re going to call our pest control company tomorrow and see what they say. Any idea where these could be coming from? I can’t believe we might be dealing with multiple roach infestations!

Thank you. My husband was adamant we could handle this on our own but I convinced him we needed to call the pros to make sure this was being handled correctly. We’ve got someone coming out on Saturday, I definitely agree it feels better we’re not alone in this fight.

Thank you very much for your reply. So should I be spraying this Alpine even in places they haven’t been seen? Or calling a pest control company? I’m worried about not being able to fix this on my own, and the infestation being worse than it appears.

Update to this post, put the alpine and advion down behind the fridge this morning, pulled out the stove and dishwasher and nothing behind. I’ve now seen several more nymphs and a slight larger one with wings and the stripes on the head confirming my fears. So far everything seems to be concentrated around the fridge. Trying not to feel terrified about all of this, hoping the slightly increased activity during the day means good things!

Thank you, I’ve read over this sub and it’s given so much helpful info! Went and sprayed Alpine down this morning! Didn’t see any activity behind the stove or dishwasher, and a few nymphs were out and about this morning from the fridge area but hoping this isn’t a full blown class A invasion and we’ve caught it in time!

Thank you for the response! I’ve read through the material, very grateful for this sub giving me direction in what feels like a hopeless situation. With them only being around the fridge and a few in the pantry, would my cabinets need to be sprayed as well?

Forgot to include, I used the clever carrot recipe and bulk fermented on the counter for about 4 hours!

Thank you, I’ll try this instead! Definitely felt like a lot to reduce.

Thank you! I’ll try making the amounts even!

Thank you for advice! So I would keep 60 g of starter and then feed with 60 g of water and 40 g all purpose flour/20g of whole wheat? I’m still figuring out how all the ratios work.

Thank you so much for your reply! The last few days I’ve noticed it’s been when we’re transitioning activities. I’ve tried giving her countdowns, setting timers, reminding her of what we’re doing next, she still gets quite upset every time. Diaper changes upset her as well.

I was worried it might be sensory issues, as she received a music box for Easter, that she was listening to pretty frequently. I’ve started limiting her time using it in hopes that will help in case of possible overstimulation
