Answer 1

Give them names. They're your pets now..I had a mouse in my apt. I named him Mortimer....no seriously...call the super and get an exterminator there pronto!

Answer 2

charge them rent after all they eat up your food don't they .

Answer 3

Hmmm...

Maybe your appartment is dirty and you need to clean it??..

Or you can get one of those things where it kills the nasty roaches...?

Or clean your appartment THEN use the roach killer...?

I wish you the best of luck. = )

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Either make them pay half the rent or bomb again or call an exterminator.

Answer 7

I really do understand your issue. I moved into a town house that already was bombed and then a lot of them survived. I used this roach gel from Home Depot that killed them all and I haven't seen not one in 7 years. Here's a link to the product. I hope this works as well for you as it has for me:

somebody is rude. those of us that live in the south near things like palm trees know roaches are a fact of life. infestations can be caused by a dirty home, but the fact of the matter is roaches will feed on paper. this includes the paper backing on sheet rock or insulation. i would like to see you clean that. the best remedy is to call a professional exterminator. treating outside the home is just as important as what you do inside.

Answer 9

just try staying on top of it. i know how you feel i left a roach infested complex for a clean bug free one. i did what i could not to take them with me but they hid in my furniture. the manager there hired Orkin to come kill them. they got them in the first shot. good luck and i hope you are able to get them all.

Answer 10

Prepare a 50/50 mixture of boric acid and confectioners sugar.

Place some of the mixture under the refrigerator, sink and in any dark place where there could be moisture.

The sugar will attract the roaches.  The boric acid and confectioners sugar will stick to them.  They'll go back to nest.  It's the boric acid that will kill them.
