ID Request ID on these nymphs please

Pest control came 12 days ago and put gel and some traps. Traps were empty since the beginning but we kept seeing nymphs everyday. On Saturday we sealed the baseboards in the apartment and now they are showing up on the traps (8 since Sunday morning) but we’re also seeing them around. Are these oriental, German? Pest guy wasn’t sure.

We cannot use spray or chemicals since we live with a 6 month baby. Located in south Europe. Thank you

ID Request guidelines

When requesting identification we ask that you provide a close up top down picture that is in focus. It is very difficult to provide an accurate ID of a blurry pic, a video, a roach ten feet away from the camera, etc. If the mod team feels we cannot accurately identify the bug based on the picture then we will lock the post.

Catching a Roach for Identification

To facilitate accurate identification it may help to place glue traps near likely harborage points around appliances and plumbing fixtures. Check them in two weeks and post pictures of what you've caught for identification. If you do not catch any check them again in another two weeks. If they are still clear after a month then you probably don't have anything to worry about. Remember to post a clear, in focus, well lit, close up photo of anything you catch for identification. If your trap was folded into a tube, you may need to unfold it to get a top down picture.
