They were mostly hiding under the door seal.

I’m not a quitter tho. I washed it with bleach then doused it with ortho bug killer and left it in the sun for a few days.

It works great btw

    Careful, those were certainly German Cockroaches and they like to get in little cracks and crevices especially near heat sources. Look inside the mechanical section and make sure you’re not installing an infestation in your shop. Make sure there is no food/grease nearby to sustain them and be ready to deploy countermeasures if needed.

      OMG! I moved into a place with German cockroaches and the sort story is I lost the battle and I now have slight PTSD about cockroaches. Careful.

        Yep. Lived above a restaurant so I wasn’t getting rid of them. All the caulking, glue traps, diatomaceous earth and poison I could afford wouldn’t get rid of them. It’s been two years and I still think I see them when something moves at the corner of my vision. I have nightmares about turning on the kitchen light.
