I never thought I'd miss a fucking cockroach but ever since I moved out of my mums, for the last two apartments I've been plagued by tinyass german cockroaches which get literally everywhere and breed like cockroaches (huehue)
The big guys aren't annoying at all in comparison and way easier to pop control, though I do remember a couple of times as a teen waking up to one crawling on me.
My first apartment was infested when I moved in, my current one... Eh I have no excuse. I could definitely keep the place cleaner.

I live in Louisiana, so roaches are literally everywhere you go. In our house, we have them in the attic and elsewhere. Not a huge infestation, but they're literally everywhere and you cannot stop them, they always come back.

Anyways, one time when I was about to fall asleep, I have an air vent right over my bed, and it's pretty much right on top of my head. Well, there's a space between the drywall and the vent, and because it gets so humid here in summer, with the AC on and the vent getting cool you get a lot of moisture in the attic which attracts the roaches. Anyways, one night I'm sitting in bed and a roach literally drops out of the vent right onto my face, I almost had a fucking heart attack because of it. Sorry for the tl;dr but I fucking hate these cunts so much.

boric acid roach killer. If you don't got pets just pour it along the edges of walls, more generously around your bathroom and toilet and kitchen walls and wake up to more dead roaches every day. Add that with an exterminator and you'll be alright for awhile.

If you have an apartment though unless the building is keeping up on that you're just holding them off for a couple of weeks at a time. German roaches are brutal to get rid of without straight up fumigating the place and even then.

make a syurp of sugar and borax to kill ants and roaches. they eat it and share it with the nest because its sweet obviously then they die in about a day.
I went to the Philippines for a vacation recently and saw the biggest roach in my life. it was about 5 inches long, no shit. It felt like stepping stomping on a mouse. if you have roaches like that youd be better off glue trapping them.

Just call an exterminator. Try to find some trustworthy ones with a contract that guarantee they will get rid of the problem for the agreed upon price (this might not be accomplished on their first attempt though). Otherwise you wont have any guarantee at all, and you might just be throwing money down the shitter.

Next step is to keep your house clean, dispose of trash immediately, dont keep food around etc. If you live in a block with a roach invasion, consider moving

Surprisingly, not very. Once an infestation starts they're resilient little bastards. They can survive off of crumbs, dust, and literal feces, as well as cannibalizing themselves, so in addition to regular extermination you have to keep your house pretty much spotless all day, every day, until they finally all die off.

German roaches shit everywhere and they smell horrible too. You guys with roach problems need to use the gel and they will be gone.
But you have to put out fresh bait every couple days because they don't like it as much once it dries.
Put drops of the gel on pieces of paper and put that where you notice the most roaches. Change the paper every couple days with fresh gel. They will die and cannibalism will kill them too and eating their own shit will kill them.
Gotta keep this up though to kill off the young ones.

People, people! Pic related is how you get rid of even the worst roach infestations. These plus elimating the roaches water source. A Public Service message.

>> No.11426083

My old condo was infested with two types of roaches because the Cambodian neighbors next door were operating some sort of cooking business out of their back yard. I get disgusted on how they are allowed to sell the food to the public because the infestation was insane. At night imagine throwing handfuls of rice everywhere except those grains are cockroaches.

The infestation never stopped in my condo because the neighbors were infested but you need a 2 step process: gel to kill the adults and IGR to kill the eggs. The IGR releases hormonal chemicals that are harmless to humans but prevents the eggs from hatching and if already hatched prevents the baby cockroaches from shedding and growing up. Some gel combines IGR as well.


They're disgusting and the most disgusting ones are the ones with eggs hanging out of them and when you chase them they get scared and literally drops their egg sac out. 1 egg produces 50 cockroaches.

Roaches are a serious problem. They should be exterminated.

You can pay like $20 for caulk and a caulk gun and seal up all the cracks between the baseboard trim and floor. You can buy some cheap weatherstripping for doors. If it really bothers you it's worth the few hours of labor of crawling around on the ground looking for cracks.

Don't they shit and piss all over the place? Now you're trading roaches for filth.

Yes I realize roaches shit too but significantly less than whatever eats them.
