The apartment i'm living is invested by coackroach. We reported to management but they only gave us a chalk and they refuse to fumigate. To whom should we report this? Is there any government agency that can help us? We don't want to move because it's a strategic location.

Yes. . read you lease. . .renters rights, there are basic laws for renters in your area I'm sure. . .there should be some kind of coalition or organization for renters.
(call chamber of commerce)
research renters laws. Also. . .you could probably get some spray, gel or bug baits and keep the receipts (handle the problem yourself) but deduct it from the rent.

While I'm not sure whom you should report to, I can only suggest painting and cleaning with strong cleaners such as bleach mopping the floors or Lysol daily or weekly for a while. Strong odors will make them run but if you are in an apartment you'll have to keep it up because the other apartments will be shelter for them until it's safe to come back to your place. Painting the walls or woodwork is extreme, I know, but it does rid them. If that's too much work tho, just keep cleaning with heavy smelling cleaners and nothing that smells like food!! I see there are fruit smelling cleaners these days - avoid those.
If you have carpets once every month or two spray Resolve carpet cleaner around and use something to work it into the rugs. They hate this too. When using any heavy cleaners remember to keep the window open for at least a few hours so you'll be safe to sleep that night.
If you have pets, keep the food bowls up at night so nothing is available for roaches. The pet will have to get used to being fed only during the day.

I can't tell you who to call but try this: In most hardware stores, an item called Boric Acid will do the trick. It comes in powder form and comes in a container similar to the ones used in a caulking gun. This is 'Squeezable' so you can place this under baseboards, back of sink crevices, etc. I know what you are going through and have done my own exterminating with major results. At least give it a try... It's cheap and it works. Be careful if you have "small" toddlers and watch the places you place this if you do.

You might want to read the supplied URL concerning cockroaches, their habits, and means used to control the pest. You will find that most apartment issues are the fault of unsanitary practices used by the tenants. Do remember that cockroaches appear where they can find food. If you do not eliminate their food source, they will move in.
Cockroaches are one of the most hardy and adaptable creatures on the planet. Many have developed immunities to various pesticides, and must be trapped in an effort to eradicate them.
Speak to your management about this issue, and be prepared to cooperate with any effort made by them to rid yourself of these pests.

The government doesn't run everything; isn't in charge of everything!!! Good grief. Call a pest control company and have them assess the situation. Then call an attorney to see what your rights are in the city, county, state. Roaches carry disease and could endanger your health. You might try the health dept govt agency as a matter of fact. They care about health hazards....

Were they there when you moved in? If not you
probably need to keep your apartment cleaner.
Roaches only live where there is food out for them.
