very young cockroach nymph

5836   Hi there, I recently (late October 2016) moved into a new apartment near Cobourg, Ontario. The last tenants were very messy and in the course of cleaning the cupboards I came across some of these. This was the largest specimen I found and the clearest shots I could take. Grateful for an ID if you have one. I am fighting them with insecticide. Justin

This is a very young nymph of a cockroach, possibly that of a German cockroach (Blattella germanica; Blattodea: Blattellidae). This species is notoriously difficult to control completely; see http://tinyurl.com/h3nd9z8  elsewhere on this site for some control suggestions.  Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
