Is a palmetto bug really a roach? Palmetto bugs sound classy, very classy even, and roach sounds dirty, crack den Amy Winehouse rigs on the burnt carpet kind
of dirty.

I didn't see your thread TC
And even if I can't drown it, it went down the drain and out of my sight. |

It was the shower drain. If that thing comes out while I'm showering I'm gonna fucking die and run over to the landlady naked and get her to fix it.

See that's what happens when you type too much in your first post.
Ok so you are in an apartment. I have some potentionally bad news. They may not be your roaches. They may be visitors from a neighbor. In which case there is absolutely NOTHING you will be able to do about it. I had this problem in my first apartment. Even with the professional exterminator, more bug bombs than I can count, sprays, and powders nothing stops them from visiting. According to the exterminator my next door neighbors often left dirty dishes in the kitchen. I complained constantly but in the end the only thing I could do was move. |

I'm here for a year at least. Sigh. I suppose I'll have to learn to love the little buggers.

Are you brain damaged??? It's not up to you to live with bugs. It's up to your landlord to take care of the problem. why the hell would you give up
without even trying???

We already called the landlady, she sent someone to put in roach traps O_o. I'm gonna call again.
And did you really think I would resign myself to living with these creatures? I have standards! |

Go to a good building supply place and get the boric acid powder - then follow the directions on that site I posted.Boric acid is the only immediate remedy. the real fix is to move when your lease is up. then the game becomes "Don't take any with you" |

That is true. I sprayed and bombed the new place before moving anything in. I sprayed all the boxes and let them dry before packing. Here is a fun fact... they will eat the glue out of your furniture. |

The only time we had roaches in a rental was not due to our landlord or our own ability to clean. We cleaned that place like crazy and the roaches still hung
around.
Turns out the next door neighboor was mental or something. He kept two little dogs in the place and they never went out for walks. The entire bottom floor of the townhouse was dedicated to these little dogs, their feces, and his slovenliness. The dogs' nails had grown so long they were curling over. No one ever knew what was up because the guy was such a hermit. When he moved out, they had to completely disinfect his place. It was a disaster. But after he was gone, so were the roaches. |

about it. i have my house exterminated monthly, we are bug free!

Put out that roach lube shit that comes in a tube. It totally works. They eat it then go back to their nest to die and then their friends eat them and die. Fun
times.

grow up, khnum, it's not that big of a deal.
Get a can of hairspray and a Bic lighter. I think you know what to do from there. |

For the roach problem, I highly reccomend a B.A.R. Extremely effective and oh so much fun too!
