I've never had issues with roaches previously but suddenly today my cats were locked onto something in my room. It was a tiny nymph roach of an "unknown species" so I killed it. We have recently brought in some second hand wood furniture and boxes so that could be it, but I thought nothing of it. A few hours later my cats are doing the same thing in the kitchen, so I move the standing fan they are locked onto and it was an adult German roach (Light colored body and the two dark stripes on its head) So now I'm super freaked out because seeing both baby AND adult German roaches can be a sign of an already established colony. I'm calling pest control tomorrow, but I wanna know if there's anything I can do in the meantime because I have a phobia of roaches and I'm admittedly terrified
