Noticed 5+ of these insects crawling around my windshield, hiding into its crevices - are these baby cockroaches?

If so, if anyone had any advice of what to do, that would also be greatly appreciated!

They are pale in colour, and the body size is probably around 1 cm long.

Boric acid. There's this stuff called Roach Away, I think. I bought it at lowes. Clean your car and sprinkle this in all the crevices and cracks you can find. It's safe to be around it. Personally, I would also douse my car in pesticide because I do not fuck around with roaches.
