German cockroach

7323.     I have a picture of a bug and I want to see if it is a cockroach or not! I can’t tell because of the way the oven looks but it looks like it has 8 legs. It was a really light brown and it stayed there when I turned the light on, it didn’t run that fast either. I really want to know if it is a cockroach because I am really freaked out lol! Thank you so much and if you have any other questions let me know. London

 

Number 7324.     This is a German cockroach, Blattella germanica (Blattodea: Ectobiidae), a peridomestic species difficult to bring under complete control. See German Cockroach Control Recommendations .
