I am desperate! My family and I moved into a Florida apartment in late August. The night we moved in we realized our apartment was roach infested, there were roaches of all sizes every where: kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Immediately we told our apartment complex and they brought in pest control. Pest control has come to our apartment almost every 2-3 weeks in the last 4 months. They use bait mostly but also use a spray cyclophan (or something along those lines is what they told me it was called). One time the guy also squirted some powder stuff behind our kitchen appliances. We no longer find roaches in the bedrooms and rarely find them in the bathrooms but we still find them in the kitchen. We may go a few days without seeing a roach but then I’ll find a handful in the kitchen some other day. I’ve found them on the floor, on the refrigerator and even INSIDE my drawers. We keep most of our food in the fridge. I clean daily and I discard dead roaches in the toilet. I am so frustrated that 4 months later after constant fumigation we still find roaches.

hey, ive been reading other posts about roaches in apts. i just have 1 question– we dont have an extensive problem here (though these are the waterbugs and they are gigantic and scare the hell out of me). so most of put entry-points, to the best of my knowledge, are sealed.. i was thinking about getting the pheremone traps (my youngest daughter is about to crawl and i would like to avaid chemicals whenever possible). Would these traps end up attracting more roaches then would have normally come? I would love to zap all these things, but dont especally want my small apt to be the center of operations…
thank you so much for your time!! it is VERY appreciated!

I have a huge roach problem in my apartment…. I’ve reported my roach infestation to my property manager and they will call the terminators who only paid to treat my unit only (not everyone elses). About every 2-4 weeks the terminators have been out to spray. I finally had enough and bought the ultrasonic things that plug into the wall and lined my whole apartment (around the baseboards and cupboards) with boric acid which has worked for the last couple of months… now the are back.
I read your article, and I want to try the roach gel but because I used boric acid all over the place, there really is no place that has already been treated. Won’t that make the gel not work? What can I do to make the gel more effective?

We are in process of moving lots of boxes of our daughter’s belongings from an infested condo to our home.
We have not brought them inside, they are in our garage and greenhouse. I bombed the greenhouse 16 days ago, have not bombed boxes in garage.

I need products to control a roach problem in a 4plex treating once per month for one year. What do you recommend?
As explained in our ROACH CONTROL article, achieving success when treating for roaches can only be reached when three conditions are met. 1) You must have full access to the units being treated 2) You must get the tenants to “go along” with your roach control program and 3) You must use a combination of the right products.

Hello. I live in an apartment complex on a college campus. We’ve recently had a rapidly growing problem with roaches in our apartment. The university sent somebody out to spray, but is making no efforts right now to spray in the apartments around us so we feel like they’re going to come right back in ours. They started spraying last week and now they’re spreading from just our kitchen and bathrooms and getting into our bedrooms.

I lived in an apartment that had problems with German Roaches. After several trips by the exterminator, the problem was reduced but not eliminated. About 6 weeks ago, I moved in with family and they have not had roaches. I was careful when packing to make sure I didn’t inadvertently bring any with me.

I have been seeing 1-2 roaches each night in my apartment but I can’t find any when I look. I’ve been living here for over a year and have never seen any till this past month. I don’t think I brought any home so I’m thinking they’re coming from one of the other units. Is there any chance of me getting rid of them if the apartments alongside mine are all infested?
