It looks different as a young bug, teenage bug & adult bug. Must use poison they will eat. They eat the dead & die from that too. BUT, bottom line, they bought a piece of used furniture, and we believe there must have been 'eggs' in that furniture! So check EVERYTHING!! & clean everything well.
I have to share this story (my own and very true). It was a long long time so I chalk up to ignorance on my part.
We stopped at a yard sale and bought a blender. It looked clean. When we got it home and started it up, roaches came crawling out from underneath. (Ugh I know...makes me sick even thinking about it.)
It has always modified my thinking on what to get used...you never know. I should have put it a plastic bag or something first I guess. But of course, I had already bought it.
Anyway just my story.
