Roaches in my laptop?

Today two small (baby?) roaches came out seemingly from my laptop. One was on the screen, then disappeared and I caught up with it underneath the laptop on the desk and dispatched it. A little late I spotted another one coming out from under the laptop. Are roaches being hatched inside my laptop or is it just a coincidence? I am very disturbed by this, esp. since the desk is in my bedroom. I occasionally eat a snack at my desk but don 't drop crumbs in the (full size) keyboard. Anything I can do besides placing Combat stations nearby?

I was mainly wondering about the likelihood of their living inside a laptop. I can see where they could get in, and it would be a tight dark space. But it seems very weird, and I can't spray the laptop...

I found out it was a fairly common problem. My computer guy cleaned it out for free. i have not seen any more roaches in my house.

It could be that eggs were laid inside the machine. It could be that that is the source of infestation, that while you were out somewhere you picked up something. The other option is that your house is infested and you need professional help. Roaches are like ice bergs, you see one and there is a whole bunch more underneath.

call an exterminator or talk to the landlord to do it. Your snacks mean nothing. your apt is infested. They won't hurt it, but roaches only breed and expand.
Roaches love dark tight places.
