so its freakin disgusting. been living here about a month now and i saw my first roach last night. not the first roach ive seen in my life but you know what i mean

it was crawling on a my sleeping bag that was rolled up next to my bed around 11pm last night. it was about the size of a nutter butter, i kid you not. shouldve taken a pic but whatever

in any case, my question is can i expect the landlord to take any action if i bring it to their attention? not sure i saw any of this mentioned in my lease agreement about roach infestations. and isnt it true that if i see one, that means theres about a thousand im not seeing? im not gonna lie, im scared to sleep at night h:

any suggestions on how to handle the situation? its freakin me out :wtc:

 

Ewww, that's so nasty.

 

i concur. now how do i destroy them all

 

be glad you don't live in Florida...roaches are a part of life. Even our brand new house had some in it, before food had even entered the place. Pest control, cleanliness and tolerance are about the best you can do.

 

go get a bomb or some raid and bomb the place or spray the raid along the bottom of all your walls

 

thats everywhere in the south.

 

yeah, buying some raid was the first thing that came to mind. what do these things eat to survive?

 

yup.

They'll eat everything and anything to survive. This is the reason why they've been around so long.

Have fun killing them. They're so tenacious that they'll continue to live for weeks, even if you chop their head off.
