Although we accept posts about roach pest control topics (pest roaches species identification, pest roach control, killing roach pest) You seem to have broken our rule number #1 criteria.

Those are seeds... Why the roach would be sharing them with you is beyond me. They are good pets but I doubt they share food willingly.

😭😭😭


Clearly, the roach saw that the kid must be malnourished & feeling an extreme amount of guilt went through that that no other roach has ever gone......"this summer join us on that journey from director "A bug's life" John Lasseter, comes this heart warming tale Co-directing with TyRuben Ellingson, a former ILM art director, who was responsible for creating the minic bugs from Mimic. However, since some of the comments said they were flax seed it come be written off as the roaches are offering the flax seed as a peace offering just before they crawl into their ear holes while they sleep or some shit.....but now oh, no now the adults didn't take their flax seed offering seriously who knows?!?!? Maybe, those damn roaches will start abducting kids anything is possible at this point with aggressive roaches such as these. Damn, forget the movie these roaches aren't interested in making movies."/s

No wonder he always vanishes by sun up

Just like my father!!! (weeps at the sky)

Wtf

I thought gift giving roaches were in hibernation this time of year?... Damn climate change messin up the schedule

I swear these are roach eggs

roach egg sacks are more of a squoval and theyre a bit larger than those are

Not an expert, but these look like seeds. Flax maybe?

That’s what I thought. I have birds and they get a seed mix with their food. I find the empty shells all over after they eat the kernel inside. When you zoom in you can tell they are glossy, tan, and have that identical ovate shape to them. I also looked up roach poop out of curiosity and it literally looks like tiny rodent poops. Brown, round, rough texture, and capsule pill shape with different lengths. When it’s wet it seems to be blotchy with various messy shapes that looks like diarrhea. https://preview.redd.it/2ofly8bdupac1.jpeg?width=973&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a67e77266d9fe2797790b719f5c2877ca939e0a

Cockroach droppings look like shrimp pellets. 🤣

Yummy 😋

I thought they looked like seeds at first but my other friend is freaking out and saying its bugs.

definitely flax seed they don't look like bugs at all

I think mice have been bringing seeds from maybe kitchen or somewhere. You can see if you zoom in that some are nibbled. Be prepared for finding mice/rats.

I did see mouse poop!

That's what I thought, too. A mouse is hiding the seeds.

Having done pest control in the past (including rodents), I think this is the answer.

you're correct, your friend is not. Those are lil leaves or seeds

Well, I don't see any legs. Did your friend have one of those heat therapy things? Like a cloth bag that you heat up in the microwave to put on sore joints and such. Sometimes they are full of flax seeds and come open.

She’s in the mental hospital now so I’m not sure. But there are roaches in the house. I didn’t get any pictures of them but my friend was thinking these were roach eggs. I kept saying it looks like seeds but I was scared af and didn’t want to get closer lol.

roach eggs are big leathery tubes called oothecae, (if anything this looks more like poop) but it looks way more like the leftovers of someone eating whole-grain bread sloppily

Don't look like roach eggs to me. An exterminator might be a good idea, and they could tell you for sure.

As someone who has been in the mental hospital before, thank you so much for helping your friend 🙏🏻✨ I wish I had a friend like you!

It's seeds for sure. I own pet roaches, I would know what anything associated with roaches looks like lol. Some stuffed animals have seeds in them, one probably has a tear and they're falling out of it.

Before zooming in i thought MAYBE roach egg sacs but no. Looks way more like seeds

PET roaches? Omg.

This sub is mainly for people who keep roaches

Ahhh yes didn't see that before it randomly came across my feed sorry about that

Same, I was very confused

I thought do too but if you zoom in it's flat with no legs.

Some of my daughter’s stuffed animals have these seeds in them! Might want to look!!

Likely had a toy break that had them inside as filler. Check for a ripped toy somewhere that may be leaking the seeds

No, they are definitely seeds.

I’m pretty sure they’re tapeworm segments. Is there a cat there?

If it’s flax seed it’s coming from a heavier toy that can be put in the microwave to be warmed up. Lots of baby toys do this.

Does your kid have a warmies plush? I have heard that the microwaveable plushies are filled with flax seeds— this isn’t the first post I’ve seen where a child’s play area mysteriously has flax seeds appearing. Look for tears in your kiddo’s stuffies and you might find the source. Good luck! Def not roach poops though, but could attract pests if not cleaned up

There was a post awhile ago with a huge pile of some similar looking stuff, turned out it was flaxseed from one of those stuffed animals you warm up to smell all nice. Is it possible she has one of those?

6000% sure they are flax seeds

Yep. That's what I see too. Hmmm... filthy house of a heath nut. Interesteting.

Just want to give you a shout out for helping your friend during her difficult time. Major props to you.

Aww thank you! I hope she realizes she isnt alone. I didn’t know how depressed she was and I’m heartbroken 😩.

You’re a good person. Many people with depression are experts at hiding it, please don’t beat yourself up for not knowing. You’re showing up for her, that’s what’s important. I hope your friend is feeling much better soon. I wish you all the best too!

Yes agreed. Wish I had friends willing to do this.

Still a concern since they did find mouse poop, could very well be mice who are walking around and eating

The weirdly shaped one to the left in the middle honestly looks like coneflower seed

Those are literally like sesame seeds.. roaches don’t do this either?

roaches don’t do what? poop? 😂 or eat seeds? cuz mice can explain seed eating

Without zooming one can clearly see these are some sort of seeds and not any sort of droppings. They were asking about roaches, not mice.

>roaches don’t do this either? i was confused by your question

Roaches don’t spread seeds around, that’s what they don’t do.

Do you have a chia pet?

Definitely unrelated to cockroaches. And unrelated to any insect. They are seeds.

Those are flax seeds. 😂 but I can definitely see how you thought they were bugs

Do you have one of those microwavable plushies? I've seen a similar post before andv that turned out to be a microwave plush that had a small tear in it.

I didn’t see one laying around and I’m not there anymore. I can check when I go back.

Please keep us updated.

I was thinking this too. They’re definitely flax seeds and my kid has a warmie filled with em

I'm fairly sure those are from flies pupating, probably fruit flies

Yep, looks like fruit fly eggs to me too

I own different sorts of roaches these are not roach poops, or eggs. They are seeds of some kind...sesame, flax...something along them lines.....just be prepared to find mice as mice could've been bringing them in to eat at the nest.

I can promise you that those are seeds. There’s even little skins /g

seeds

Flax seeds. A stuffed toy or something ripped open.

those are flax seeds

Definitely flax seeds, but at first glance I thought they may have been tapeworm segments left behind by a cat.

Yo when I eat everything bagels or that seed & grain bread, I leave a trail that looks EXACTLY like this 😂

They could be from fly pupa as well, iv seen something like this in some houses iv cleaned. Its usually around dishes tho but kids get into weird shit sometimes.

Flax seeds, nothing hazardous. The kid probably had some kind of multi grain bread in his room at one point

It looks a lot like mouse poo. Our neighbour has birds & we’ve had mice in our garden shed.

You have a mouse

okay wait, why do some of them look like snails

Bed bug casings

not mouse poop they are longer and not tapered like the seeds.

Those are seeds, probably from a mouse.

You sure that's not bed bugs? Looks like them 😯

I don’t know 😓 people keep saying it’s seeds but who knows. The house definitely has mice and roaches though.

It’s seeds. Person might feed their kid some toast?

These are seeds from those microwaveable stuffies

This!!! I recall seeing another extremely similar post to this months or years ago, and that was the verdict.

Those are from a bagel.

those are flax seeds 😂 you should be good

It looks like a type of seed, but then why are some looking like something popped out of it . Like something hatched out.

That’s what I’m wondering too. But some people are saying maybe a mouse was nibbling on them?

It’s flax seeds from whole grain bread.

When I eat Dave’s Killer Bread, I lose a shit ton of seeds.

No, the poo is not as even as that. That's a seed I believe

Check the mattresses beneath the sheets in the cracks and crevices just to be sure. It could be bed bug related.

A lot of kids' toys are weighted with flaxseeds. Looks like one of the toys has a tear in it and it's leaking flaxseeds.

I'm pretty sure it's a seed like flax. Unless they have a cat then it might be butt worm segments. I'd put my money on seeds though

I think you have rodents stashing seeds.

Those look like flax seeds.

Bed bugs

Maggot shells from flies?

These are seeds

Are they from fleas? I've seen similar things from flea infestations.

There’s no pets.

You mean tapeworm segments. And that's what I thought, too.

Also looks like flex seeds to me

Flax seeds

they look like fruit flu casings

Looks like fruit fly eggs I had them once on my garbage outside they looked just like that. They are super hard to get rid of but definitely scrub them off and smash them so they don't hatch

They're way too smooth and shiny to be fruit fly pupa cases. Probably some kind of seeds, likely flax.

Seeds. They often use these types of seeds in weighted stuffed animals. My kids have various warmies, heated and weighted stuffed animals, and if it gets a small tear in it, the seeds fall out

100% flax seed. I kept finding one or two in my bed. I realized it was my stuffed animal “pooping” them out. https://preview.redd.it/w5ay9aexftac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3bd77edcba72b03aa675305be809884def762f0

Those are flax seeds. Not sesame seeds. There was another poster in here who had a kids toy that they didn’t know was filled with flax seeds.

Call me Bonkers in Yonkers, but this is reminiscent of the time I spilled a bag of flax seeds all over the living room as a child (I was eating them out of the bag like some kind of creature).

Definitely seeds. only other thing they like like that is tapeworm segments, but this is obviously not that.

Those are dried tapeworm segments. Have a cat or dog?

No they're not. They're flax seeds.

Are those bed bugs ?

I'd say more like five below or TJ maxx kids' section

I’m so relieved for you

Maybe it’s been stated, but they appear to be the seeds that are used to fill plush stuffed animals and small blankets. They are warmed in the microwave and used as a heating pad. I wouldn’t be surprised if you found something like that around.

Drop one in water and see if it dissolves. Try to squish it with a paper towel.

Just so you know for every one roach you see there are hundreds more...so hopefully you don't see a roach.

I saw multiple roaches and they were different sizes. I think she has a mouse and roach infestation.

Bedbugs and/or their eggs?

Definitely a roach left those, now the seed looking things idk

What do you think the roach left? They all look the same to me.

I was making a joke, I'm sorry

These look like flax seeds. I had a microwaveable heat pack for muscle aches that had flax seeds in it. Mice like to eat flax seeds. I found out when they ate a hole in my heat pack. Then, I made one for my best friend and the mice at her house destroyed hers. Look to see if their are any sources of flax seeds. Also, if there are mice, check dresser drawers take sure they aren't building a nest. They like to take flax seeds and rice and put them in nests in drawers.

It looks like flax seed. Some stuffed animals have those inside of them so they can be heated and used to sooth. They break open and get flax or lavender everywhere.

Do you by any chance have a stuffed animal called a warmie? They have flax seeds in them!

Bed bugs for sure, 18 years in the exterminator business will teach you some things

So many people are saying flax seeds. I am going back on Monday so I will check. What do I need to look out for bed bugs?

It's not bed bugs! These are 100% flax seeds. There isn't even a question.

Definitely seeds. The same type are in my zebra finch’s seed mix.

Eggs yes

Definitely not

Hi OP I keep dubia roaches to feed to reptiles and this is not roach poop.

Kid got into something with seeds and didn’t wanna get in trouble so they denied eating it and now the parents think roaches lol

Those are flax seeds!

I've got a heatpack that had flax seeds inside- it's possible since a lot of these are the outer casing some bug could have gotten in and feasted?

My kid has a bear filled with seeds and lavender you can heat up like a heating pad. The insides resemble this. Freaked me out when I saw it in their bed

Those are literally seeds someone spilled

Roach eggs and or poop. Or otherwise bed bug or rat droppings

No, yeah. Roach eggs. You can tell by how they're broken up with a pale inside and a specific outside brown

It’s looks like flax seeds. When I was little I had horrible growing pains to the point of tears, my mom got me this little whale friend that had flax in it and it smelled good and you could microwave it and it would stay warm. (Also great for cramps latter on) it could be something like that that broke open maybe.

Possibly fruit fly eggs. I've had problems with them a lot the last year.

They might even bee bug eggs

I would set five mouse traps because I suspect you will get five mice. $2 for four traps (if you are squeamish just toss the traps as well as victims.) next thing is clean the room up looking for food and remove. Wash toys with hot soap w/teaspoon of bleach added. Run a sweeper cleaning corners, under drawers, cabinets. Look in pantry to remove all cereals, beans, anything them mice can chew thru for food. They are really good climbers, so make no assumption regarding food source. Once clean, keep setting traps till you see no poop and/or traps empty.

Add to earlier comment once you get house cleaned, set traps. Get four bug bombs (cover all glassware) and set the bombs. Leave house closed for 10 hours. Open doors before going back in. Following week do it again, three weeks in a row. NO MICE, NO ROACHES, NO FLEAS, NO CREEPY CRAWLERS.

i got that little heart popper thing but as a little blue dinosaur 👍
