I started finding a few in early fall and let my landlord know. He told me no one ever had cockroaches in the complex ever, which was a total shit lie.

Apparently someone in my 12 units building moved out due to the roaches. The unit was sprayed and then given to another tenant who kept finding them too but didn’t contact the landlord. My neighbour right next to me has a HUGE infestation and didn’t contact the landlord either. 

So I have a landlord that lies to me and bad neighbours that let this issue grow out of control. 

Anyway, before I found out other neighbours had it, I felt so bad and awful that I could have brought them in. I cleaned like crazy for weeks. I packed away my whole kitchen. I didn’t even cook in my kitchen anymore. I went to my parents’ house for most meals. 

The bait gel is supposed to help but it takes a long time to work, like longer than a 6 weeks. The spray just pushes them into the walls but they can still come back. 

Long and behold, it’s been 2.5 weeks since the spray and I find a baby cockroach crawling right again my bedroom wall by my bed. Now I can’t sleep. I’m so frustrated and stressed. I just don’t know what to do anymore
