Please help! In south eastern Massachusetts. Found this in my outdoor trashcan when I was bleaching it out. Have had a recent earwig infestation in the trashcan. Had a big flying/jumping one of these guys in my house last week and called the exterminator who did put down roach bait in the house. Is this a wood roach, or is it a German roach? Im freaking out!
It is a cockroach, but uncertain as to species - Can you post other photos, preferably a full dorsal view?
Dealing successfully with cockroaches depends on knowing exactly which species you have. Identify first...
I don't have any other pictures. The exterminator inspected the other day, said it doesn't appear that I have any signs of infeststion and most likely what I saw in my house was a wood roach that made its way in. And then I found what is pictured in my outdoor trash can.
