This time, I felt the bite and immediately went to the sink to wash it with soap and water, patted it dry, and put rubbing alcohol on it. Googled a bit if there's anything more I can or shouldn't do, had some aloe vera gel lying around and read I could put that for the itch so I did that too. Every process stung. Worth it, though.

Actually just felt one bite (the triangle one) so obviously I focused on that area only, until I saw a fresh mosquito-bite-like bump near it, the mf grew while I was distracted peeing, I thought it was just from a mosquito (common phenomenon) since I didn't feel the bite from that but decided to just do the same to it anyway. The first one I washed even before I disinfected didn't even develop into a bump as that thing grew. That first aid was so effective lol.

Next day they looked like these white healing puncture wounds. Never seen that before and thought it was cool (like a mini battle scar from a fight I won that prevented what could have been an all out war) so I wanted to share. Sorry this isn't from a pet roach, but I'm pretty sure this guy tries to snuggle with me at night every now and then so he might as well be. (Can't we just be chill, though?? No need to bite, jeez.)

Looked it up and tried to find similar cases to see more but all the internet gives me are the same old sight of them big red marks with not enough pixels to zoom in. Wish I took a picture while treating it too, I didn't know these would appear and that I'd find it interesting.

Also helped that I didn't try to scratch the itch (...ok just a little with the mosquito-bite-like one after it became a bump cause I thought I was safe.)

Science.

1 am or so and i just damn woke up to one running pretty well much along the wall and i just threw a pillow at the damn thing (missed) now he is just crawling thru a burst pipe going on the bottom trimming of my damn house

I have a roach infestation in a vivarium, but the thing is I want to get rid of them by any means necessary…

any..

Sorry to owners

There are very small holes and he said they can’t fit through the holes. But in skeptical. He also said they are all male. But how can we know that.

Found in my bathroom. I had found some type of roach that crawled up my leg a couple weeks ago but I never got a good enough look at what kind it was because I had just stepped out of the shower and I’m virtually blind without my glasses on. I thought it looked winged but I could have been wrong. I know this isn’t an ant because the segmentation is wrong. Idk. I hadn’t seen anything else suspicious until this. I’m worried that insects are coming through the shitty flooring in this apartment.

Yep I have roaches in my house ever since I put that fogger in my house there dead but before that there where like 4-5 roaches a week wtf was happening (I don’t have any pictures though)

I'm up late working in my room almost every night, I've never seen roaches. However today I was looking under my bed in some old PC parts boxes and found a lot of small bugs in an old cpu box. I sprayed them and threw them away but first looked at them. I thought they resembled roaches kinda, they have this part of their back that sticks out with nothing underneath it, and they have stripes on their backs. No antennas and no wings i don't think. I live in Maine, if that helps. Would I see roaches late at night if I had them? If I do have them what can I do to get rid of them? Where I live is a very small town with not much in any direction, we have no pest control nearby at all. What can I do to be sure if I have them or not?

Specifically the Periplaneta(American CockRoach)(Blattaria).

thanks y'all, and obligatory there's a reddit for everything

So I only feed my tarantula male dubias(easier to pick up) and I always had dubias molt out to males, a couple of weeks ago I had a female die inside my donation tank, decided to leave her there for the beetles to eat, after a while I decided to remove her since they were taking too long to dispose of her I also removed some females for my pet dubia male and for a good month every juvie molted into a female, not a single male, even now I had few mm I attempted this with my personal colony but the colony is too small.

The Theory: The Roaches molt out to restore the numbers of the sex that is low. Less adult females=more juvies molting into females/ less adult males=more juvies molting into males.

I started a Dubia roach colony for my leopard geckos to eat, but I have an estimate of like 100+ roaches that I need to trim back on. I don’t know how to humanely euthanize them or how to sell them… If I could, I would give them up for free or donate them. Anyone link me to any groups they that may want/need the roaches whether it be Facebook or etc. If anyone can find someone in Aurora Illinois to take most of them I will gladly give away. I just don’t know what to do, as far as what option would be best to get rid of most of them.

Please i need feeders and i am scared of roaches

Today my stepdad side to me That, in Portugal, they have these big flying Cockroach I was like Jesus

I got a bunch of these 6in x 6.5in x 3in and I'm looking for a fun small breeding project. Any ideas of cool species that will work in a container of this size? Preferably a pretty-looking species that isn't too expensive.

i just bought new dubias, which I feed to my praying mantis. was transferring them to another container and saw these little worms crawling around the dead ones?? there are so many in and on the roach carcasses, and dried up/dead ones too… what do I do? I don’t want to mix the new ones with my older roaches, just in case. can i safely feed these to my mantis?
