Clean and dry all the baseboards, inside closets and cabinets too. Using 20 Mule Team Borax (not Borateem), and a turkey baster, run a line of powder along the baseboards, under the sinks, in all the closets, around doors and in the carpet. Vacuum the carpet. It will take up to a week, but it will get rid of them.

Cockroaches and regular roaches are a regular nuisance. If you live in an apartment building, there are many of them. You can usually always find them in places that you may eat like your bedroom or your kitchen. There are not so many ways to get rid of them, though. many people may crush them with paper or step on them with their shoes, but the most effective way to get rid of them is to spray. I suggest that you use Raid bug spray for Ants and Roach, with no smell. This bug spray is effective and is relatively cheap. I suggest that you not hire an exterminator, and that you do the work yourself. With an exterminator, the bugs go away for a month but then come back in numbers. With the bug spray, you can do two things. The first thing is to spray all the places where you know the bugs are, and the second way is by spraying every time you see a roach. I suggest that you spray all the places that you see roaches or that you know where they are. Good luck and do your best!

Request the management to take further measures to eliminate the problem. Demand the problem be solved or you will put your rental payments into an "escrow" account.
You will still have to pay your rent as agreed in your lease & on time.... BUT the landlord will not be able to collect the rent until the problem has been solved.
Document the sightings with pics, and record phone calls to the landlord. If recording phone calls to the landlord you must inform him that your are in fact recording the call.
By putting the rent due into escrow you cannot be evicted for non-payment of rent. And the landlord cannot get his money until problem is solved.
Hope this helps,
Dave

If you are in the United States get Bengal roach spray,
it is about 9 to 11 bucks a can--but really works-- I saw no busg for months and months after I sprayed!!
Good Luck--in the south -Ace Hardware store carries it.

Go out and get the roach motels for Large and small roaches that say on the box that the roaches will carry the food back to the nest, which will kill all of the roaches. They seem to work pretty well for me, and other people Ive talked to. I think they are made by combat and/or Raid.

clean up thoroughly. Never leave food out. Put all your dry food in ziplock bags and tuppeware. Use traps then if it doesn't get better and the super won't help, call the housing board and find out your rights.

Notify your landlord and have them fumigate your place...
That's why you pay rent. If that doesn't work and it wont unless you fumigate all your surrounding apartments. I would just move out.

If it was me, id leave them alone. They're just trying to live their life. I'm sorry but i dont support the killing of anything no matter how small.
