I really need some help??!!!!??

Question

Hi everyone and thanks for caring and making some time to read this.

Well, my problem is that on the 1st of April we (my husband, 4 year old, 7 month old and I) came to move here to our new place and but before we moved in I ask the LandLady if there was any infestations of any kind and she of course said no.

We moved in and the first day was cool. The second day I noticed a small nasty looking roach creeping in my 7 month olds room. I was soooo pissed. (You don't want that near your kids)

Todays the 10th and so far I was say that my husband and I have step on about over 200 roaches, no lie..
I called the landlady about the problem but she really doesn't seem to care.

What could I use to eliminate them naturally without harsh chemicals, cause remember, I do have a 4 year old and a 7 month old.

Once again, thankyou!

Answer 1

Roaches-B-Gone cockroach traps are extremely effective the best pheromone pellet to lure the roach into the trap and on to the sticky surface to keep it trapped. The first ones in get stuck right at the opening and others just keep crawling around and over them until they, too, get stuck. The large traps are 4 x 8 x 1/2" high when folded and have four wide openings to allow unimpeded access. The traps, only 1/2" high, can be discretely placed under the stove or refrigerator and will trap and hold hundreds of cockroaches and their body parts. When you dispose of it (throw it out with the regular kitchen garbage) you are getting rid of the roaches and their body parts.

Cockroach droppings and body parts can be an asthma trigger (see MORE READING, below). Poison baits and sprays can kill them in their hiding places but the body parts remain hidden and sprays tend to scatter roaches, driving them to new areas. Not the thing you want to do. It is suggested that you not spray for 3 days prior to placing the traps.

Roaches-B-Gone cockroach traps attract and hold roaches (and their body parts) - eliminating the problem, not scattering it! These photographs show the effectiveness of the traps. The small black "dots" are nymphs that hatched after the egg-case carrying female was trapped. Not only is the male and female eliminated but all of her baby cockroaches have been stopped!



When a trap is about 50% full, install an additional trap.
When a trap is 85% full, leave it for a couple more days.

When the trap is 98% full, dispose of it with regular garbage.

i cant get the link to send but try going to theyre page
but i agree with the person above there has to be something you can do about the landlady not listening you can talk to the neighbors or see if you can put your rent in escrow until the problem is resolved

Answer 2

I agree with Suzi Q I think thought you need to get professional help to get rid of them. I used to clean a church and we would get them all the time. The church had to have an exterminator come in once a month and spray there was no other way. I knew of a house one time was so infested. I suggest let the professional do it. I know it is using chemicals but it sounds like to get rid of all the roaches use an exterminator.


Also take pictures the landlady should be responsible for this problem and you might call the board of health.

Answer 3

Roaches are hard to get rid of, I wish I could suggest some product but don't have enough knowledge there.

What I WOULD suggest is to send a letter to your landlady, certified making sure to reference the certified letter document number on the letter before sealing, about the problem. Reference in the letter your previous conversations regarding infestation. In the letter mention that you will contact a licensed pest control firm to treat the problem. This is most probably the best and safest way. When the bill comes reduce your rental payment by that amount and eclose a copy of the bill.

Answer 4

First of all......DON"T BUY ANYTHING.....the reason I say this is because your landlady is responsible for calling an exterminator and if she refuses to do so you can sue her....you have small children in your home and it is a health risk to them if they get bit by a cockroach because they carry a large varietyof diseases.....find out who your landlady reports to and contact them and explain your situation...if you have no way of doing that then contact a attorney and go form there, and again this is NOT your responsibility it is thiers and if i was you i would try to find a hotel to stay at until she gets rid of them....good luck and also get a checj-up with your kids to make sure they haven't been infected....good luck

Answer 5

Susy-Q has already given you an excellent answer. I just wanted to add, that you definitely have a legitimate beef with this landlady. I would do whatever you need to do, to rid your place of the roaches, then keep all receipts and deduct them from your next rent payment, with copies of those receipts. I would definitely attempt to hold your landlady accountable for her deceits. It is HER responsibility to rent safe and healthy environments to her renters.

Good luck to you.

Answer 6

Oh yuck!

You might try diatomaceous earth or boric acid. I understand a lot of bugs don't like ground lemon rind or cinnamon.

Meanwhile, try calling the landlady again. And if she doesn't straighten up, complain to the local housing authorities about her. You might even talk to your neighbors and see if they've run into this from her. And if the answer is yes, consider filing a law suit.

Good luck!
