Answer 1

Apartments are notorious for them! Sorry to tell you but there are a few things you can do....They sell gel for them that you can place around in various places...Boric Acid placed around will make them stay away too! Good luck to you...they are pesky little boogers!!!!

Answer 2

Roaches, Cadillacs. Yep, they are bad critters. They get inside the walls, and are very difficult to get rid of, especially when you live in an apartment. I would suggest contacting a pest control company if any exists. You will never get rid of them your self. You can use Roach Hotels, it you can purchase them there however your best bet is a pest control operator.
Good luck, lived in the S. Pacific, know what those things are. One night while walking to a dive location, the very rocks were moving, shining a light on the rocks revealed millions of the little buggers. Yuk.

Had one wake me in my sleep when it was crawling up my leg. YIIIIIKES!! I was living in an old house that was turned into an apartment, so there were many places for them to get in from other tenants homes. The leg crawl was it, I could take no more!!!!! Took a hot glue gun and sealed every crack in the place: baseboards, ceiling cracks, gaps between plumbing and cabinets you name it. Poured bleach down all the drains every day religiously and constructed roach hotel cities outside my front and back doors. Cut down the problem to almost nothing. Wish I could say I got them all, but we all know how incredibly sneaky the roach can be. If your landlord (like mine) will not take action by calling pest control this is what I suggest.

Answer 4

ugh ! u sure wanna stop with one and not having to see more - coz then eventually they will be crawling all over ur house - its horrible!!!
good remedy : Boric acid powder(not the one for carrom board - usually there r two types - if u find then great or else anyone will do ) so
Boric acid powder
flour (whole wheat or all puopose)
little brown sugar or white sugar
mix and sprinkle all borders of the house - especially corners n behind appliances.

they will walk on it then get tempted by the sugar and flour mixture take it with them to their hide out n share the loot with other roaches and ........ may their soul rest @# %#^$!!!

Answer 5

Do what they did in Dark ages europe , first torture your captive roach (try impalment , worked for Vlad the impaler)
next split and quater the the carcass and put them on display in trouble areas where other roaches may be present. Hang them from yard arms , display them from stakes or other high perches visible for all to see.
That outta send the message to the other roaches that this is your territory and your rule is definate.

Answer 6

HK has nothing but roaches. Probably coming in from the neighbors. Try to keep your place clean and see 1 kill 1 approach.

Answer 7

I was told to use boric acid,it really does work.You sprinkle the powder behind your major appliances,also under your kitchen and bathroom sinks.They breed wherever it's dark and there's water.What the boric acid does to roaches, is that it makes them sterile where they can't breed anymore.Good Luck.

Answer 8

Boric acid, it is very effective when used properly for killing cockroaches and most other insects. You can also get a house lizard, they are natural enemies and will eat them.
