Bugs in my cupboards!

Asked by sweetheart2 28 days ago, 2 answers.

I have bugs where my pots and pans are. They are brown, and they dont fly, they may walk or mights have tiny legs like a catipilar. They are brown (Medium colour brown) and long (kind of fat in the middle) and they are scaley and have short fuzzy hairs....

I took all the pots and pans out and wiped down the cupboards with Lysol, but they obviously came back, the one I found it my pot the other day was even bigger sad I was looking online and it might me a larder beetle, but where the larder beetle lives does not match with the bugs I have, please can someone help me sad

Could they be German Cockroaches? See picture.
The two lighter brown are adults, with the female (in the center) carrying an egg case, and an egg case at the bottom of the picture.
The smaller, darker insects in the picture are juvenile roaches.

They are common. It will take a while to get rid of them. I use poison bait and sticky traps, and even hormone baits that prevent juveniles from ever reaching adulthood.
Good Luck!!
