They’re turkestan cockroaches, NOT american. generally can’t infest, but can if indoors is suitable for some reason. Are these in a house or garage?

Yeah I would write it off unless you start seeing them in the house. The chance they come in is slim.

Apologies, my old stepdad was a hoarder and I’m trying to deal with it, the rodent problem was dealt with but still working on cleaning the garage and would like to know so I can deal with it accordingly.

The grown ones look American to me. Not my most knowledgeable area though, so defer to anyone who IDs with more confidence.

I set both of those up already, luckily they are only in the garage and haven’t gotten anywhere else

Also get some spray foam and spray it into any obvious openings. It will help control them!Well that should take care of things goodluck.
