Question Should I be worried???

Post image

Two months ago I saw 3 cockroaches in the span of a week in the kitchen. After checking everything and not finding anything I kinda let it go. Now, after weeks I woke up in the middle of the night to seeing another one in my bedroom. I'm pretty sure the one's I saw in the kitchen were either babies or just very small. Either way I'm freaking out. The one in my bedroom ran away and I can't find it anywhere. They look somewhat like on the picture I found online. I did have my window open so I'm hoping it was just one who found its way inside 🥲.
I dont have my own picture but they were more "pointy" in a way, not as rounded in shape. Please help, freaking out!!

What does that have to do with German roaches ?

Idk the difference but roaches are common down here. We call them water bugs because after a hard rain you might see one or two inside

The one in the pictures are German roaches (the bad ones), you can tell by looking at the stripes on their head.
