nymph of a cockroach

5951    New house here in Ivy Lea Ontario, near Gananoque Ontario Canada… Finding these bugs on a regular basis… Freaking me out…!!!   UGH…!  Hope you can identify them for me…
Thanks…    Tim

This looks like a nymph of a cockroach, likely that of an oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis (Blattodea: Blattidae). These reproduce more slowly than German cockroaches, and thus usually are easier to bring under control.
