Hi All -

Offering a dissenting view. These appear to me as brown banded cockroach, 
Supella longipalpa. This factsheet<https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1327/> from 
Changlu Wang at Rutgers shows the different life stages of the common domestic 
cockroaches, including the nymphs and adult you pictured. This identification 
fits with the collection site - this cockroach is not as closely tied to food 
waste as the German cockroach, and can have many distinct harborages. Treatment 
therefore requires a thorough inspection or more detailed monitoring to 
identify all the harborages for bait placement.

Best,
   -Matt

Hi Joel


Thank you so much.

So three months is the cycle for switching products and brands. Okay, I 
understand.

We’ll check the traps every month and see how things are going.

Thank you so much always.

Best

Yoshiko

For best results with German roaches in any treatment situation.... if they 
persist past three months is to rotate products with different active 
ingredients quarterly to break the cycle and prevent pesticide resistance 
(baits or sprays). This is why some restaurants always have them as their 
providers do not do this and it needs to be specifically requested and 
monitored that they are doing such. JTV

Hi David

Thank you so much for your quick reply.
Ok. I can suggest them Advion gel bits.

I also hope that they definitely understand that they should not eat there or 
nearby.

Best wishes
Yoshiko

Hi Yoshiko

Yes, German Cockroach, Blattella germanica.  Best treated by a professional.  
There are plenty of good gel baits available now to treat cockroaches in their 
harbourages e.g. Maxforce, Advion brands.  Several registered as approved EU 
Biocides.  Make sure your professional uses one of those rather than sprays or 
powders.  Also make sure all food is removed from the affected area.

Regards

David

Hi everyone

May I ask for confirmation?
Are they German cockroaches?
They found them in a trap inside a metal drawer containing cardboards and 
archival paper.

First of all, it's housekeeping, right?
What about future treatments?
I would appreciate your advices.

Thanks a lot.
Yoshiko
