Question

Does anyone know how i can move with out bringing the roaches with me? I hear they love boxes...so i dont plan on moving with boxes. Can some one please help??

Answer 1

Pack everything in large plastic bins or trash cans which you have sprayed inside with roach killer.  Wash all towels and clothes before packing.  

If you are moving upholstered furniture or mattresses, spray them well before moving.  

Now, when you get to the new place, unpack outdoors and shake out all clothes and towels, etc.,hanging them in the sun if possible for awhile.  Check bins for stray bugs.  

You may need to re-wash clothes and towels to remove smell.  If furniture and mattresses smell too much, sprinkle with carpet fresh or baking soda and allow to sit awhile before vacuuming.

Answer 2

roach bomb your house, would kill all the roaches and maybe even there eggs, so you wouldnt bring any roaches with you, good luck.

Answer 3

You are going to have to carefully inspect every item you wish to take with you. Best to take everything outside and pack it in boxes off the back of a pick up truck, that way they can't hide in the boxes. Open everything though as they are sly. Put down roach motels in the house though, these things work great, but you will need a lot of them.

Answer 4

Don't tell them where you are going.
