Bug infestation?! I'm really freaking out!?

Question

Ever since we've moved into our new apartment, we've always had a bug problem...but at first, it was spiders. We called the landlord, and exterminators have been to our apartment to spray at least 4-5 times over about 2 years. The most recent spray was just 2 months ago, and now the apartment is infested with "rolly bugs" or pillbugs. The weird thing is that they are only in the bathroom, and there is a large gap between the floor and the baseboard.

Well, last night I was drying my hair, and after I finshed, I looked over towards where that crack is. I swear, it looked like dirt on the floor! I went over and looked, totally confused...and it was like thousands of little bugs...everywhere! I have no idea what they can do, we've sprayed but this is the first time that has happened. And, I don't think pillbugs have big egg sacks or anything. Any advice?!

Answer 1

EWWWW..... I would document and take pictures of the area where the bugs are coming from.... Have you landlord inspect the area and fix it pronto ! Maybe, all you need to do is to fill the gap with a foam of some sort.. Also, what is BEHIND the gap.. Is it another apt. or the outside... Check that out as well... If you can collect some of the bugs into a jar/plastic baggie for the landlord to see and show exterminator... good luck

Answer 2

All exterminators use Boric Acid in their product. So I put down pure Boric Acid down everywhere, it took about 3 weeks to work. I have not had any bugs here in 2 years.
It can be bought at a pharmacy

Answer 3

Call the Farm Bureau for your area; it sounds like you have a moisture problem that creates a buggie environment. The Farm Bureau folks can tell you more. You may have a leaky toilet or drain... and that can mean a lot of nasty little bacteria are hanging out in your place too! Good luck!
