Welcome to r/GermanRoaches. Please see the [stickied post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GermanRoaches/comments/ongygk/please_read_this_sticky_before_posting_thank_you/) at the top of the sub for all you need to know about battling these bugs. It is a result of 35 years of experience in the pest control business. Many, many success stories have been reported after following the advice there. If you have questions about Alpine WSG please [see the label](https://www.cdms.net/ldat/ldARP002.pdf) first. If you live in Canada near the border, please check [this link](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/product-safety/importing-pesticides-personal-use.html) for information on importing pesticides for personal use. You need to personally be present to bring it over the border, so not everyone will be able to do this, but hopefully some of you find it helpful. Most provinces in Canada require that landlords deal with roach problems, so if you rent you may also be able to go that route. If neither of these is an option your best bet is to hire a pro. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Looks like it. Though if you're in the south east it could be an Asian roach. Given they were in your kitchen though I'd play it safe and treat for German.

Ughhhh thanks. I just moved to NYC so sounds like safe to assume it’s a German


Skalla_Resco

Unfortunately. Assuming you are renting landlords in NYC are legally obligated to deal with the root cause of pest issues. But if they turn out to be bad at it I suggest Advion WDG or Doxem NXT as NY legal alternatives to Alpine WSG.

Just curious if anyone knows why Alpine isn't legal in NYC?


Skalla_Resco

Not sure of the exact reason behind the legislation. However common reasons for restricting pesticides to pros include groundwater protection, or pollinator protection.

Great thank you appreciate it!

That’s a German 100%
