I live in an apartment that is plagued by roaches. We have tried everything and everytime they move out, they move back a few weeks later. They are everywhere. We even have new breeds. They are white and have wings. The complex has sprayed and bombed. So have we. Sprays, traps, gels, boric acid... any suggestions besides moving?
Thanks

These are the facts..my experience...they are not social insects however they will invite other cockroaches if the food is abundant.... their excrement or poo have a attractant in it which draws all the other Roach to one site.....cockroaches have a wax cuticle like a candle. if you use water base product this will only bead off them..also residual products have a short life span. dust products like Diatomaceous earth are better. However if you have access to a chalk , china town,residual means they pick it up and when they clean them self they will ingest it.... they like to hang out around hot spots...TVs,radios, fridges, stoves, sinks, and where food is accountant oh ya they need moister.....remember just because you don't see they in one area don't mean there not there... they are nocturnal...also the white one mean they are molting...getting rid of they skin..... for quick results try pyrethrin at 1.8% spry $$$$ you need to read the label on this. use it every third day... up to fourteen days leaving the apartment each time.... read the label!
Good luck...remember read the label before you us any product...

you have teh right to move and get back your security deposit by law. wat you do is get an account and put your rent in it. tell your landlord that until the bugs are gone you wont pay rent.when they take you to eviction court tell the judge that you have the money in the back and show him the bank stament.and explain to him that you told the land lord to fix the infestation problem. and make sure you wright them the letter and have it confirmed delivery( were they sign that way you have proof and evidense in the mail recipt you told them. good luck

maxpace gel works well. It did for me. Its non invasive to your living arangement and it killed the roaches in my old house within a few days and they never returned.
