Unclean neighbors giving us problems?

Question

About a couple of months ago someone moved in next door (I live in an apt). Before they moved in I had no problems with insects coming around, especially because we own a cat that likes to hunt them down and kill them. Now we have more than a few roaches crawling at night in our driveway, And little baby roaches coming through the walls from what seperates us from them. We also have rats, which recently caused an accident for our cat who couldnt hold back from playing with the sticky mouse trap we tried to use. Our neighbors are disgustingly unclean and Im tired of going through this, what should I do?

Answer 1

Hi, I would also inform the landlord about the increase in roaches and rodents. That is just not fair to you. But, what you can do in the meantime is purchase some boric acid, (just be careful around your cat), and pour into cracks that may be in your cabinets and pantry. Once you pour the acid (which is a powdery form) into the cracks, cover the cracks with duct tape. Seal any cracks. Pour the boric acid into the air vents to. Line the perimeter of your driveway with it. Before I met my hubby, I too lived in an apartment with big roaches. My neighbor clued me in to the boric acid. It worked for me. I hope it works for you.

Answer 2

Most times rat sightings will make board of health go banannas.
Tell them you saw one climbing on the inside of your neighbors curtains or something.
I would suck it up and move -- no way you will ever out-gross these people.
