I have a baby on the way in 2 weeks, and the last thing i want is a roach problem ! HELP !

Answer 1

I agree with the first person's response.  You're neighbors proabably have an infestation and you should contact your landlord.  In the meantime...you can combat roaches by keeping everything SPOTLESS!  I have also found that bleach is a very effective deterrent against roaches.  Clean with it on all of your surfaces and I would try to pour a bit down your sink once or twice a day.  Pair this cleaning technique with conventional roach baits and insectisides and you should see the roaches disappear.  I've learned that it's very difficult to eliminate a roach problem.  You just have to make conditions uncomfortable enough so that they simply leave and do not use your home as a nesting or dwelling site. Message me back and let me know if that worked for you.

Answer 2

sounds like your neighbors have them... you probably need to let the Landlord know and have them exterminate.

Answer 3

Borax and sugar...they get a hold of that it will blow them up inside.
