Re: Cockroaches- I Found Ur Base (w/Pics and MSPaint)
i haven't read any replies but i'll give you my take on it
i just moved into a new place on the first of this month, and the people who lived here before me were total dirtbag hippies who left all their [censored], and i mean all of it, trash, food, dishes, furniture, etc. i hired a cleaning crew to come in who compared it to some of the worst frat houses they have ever seen, in terms of sheer filth and grime, obv we had a roach problem also because of this
after paying 500 for the cleaning and another 100 for roach killing products nothing worked in fact it seemed like there were more. finally i decided to call terminix and see what they can do. The guy came over, he checked it out, told me i had 'german roaches' i guess there are 5 or 6 types of them and thats the one i had, and told me he knew what to do. They didn't use the bombs, or fumigate, he said that is really old school and the stuff they do is much safer and more effective. basically he planted this little gel caps all around the kitchen and bathroom around which was the bait to get them out. he then sprayed the entire permiter of the room with some sort of fast drying liquid, and then told me that once the roaches walk through the liquid, within 24 hours it would be dead. He said to give the whole process a week or 2 and if i dont' see a drastic change to call them up, as i paid for the year long service plan as well (which was only 90 dollars for the whole year, which was pretty sweet)....about 2 weeks later the guy was dead on, i barely see them anymore, maybe a baby here and there, but as soon as they walk through the kitchen, they start shivering, walk in a cirle one or two times, than just fall over dead. the whole thing cost me i think $294 or so and i obv tipped the guy so i think $320 all together, and it was well worth it.
Edit:remember roaches have can survive nuclear attacks, i doubt any household [censored] can clear them outta your place. this sort of thing needs a professionals touch to get it taken care of, gl.
