when I was about 15 I remember living in this shit hole apartment and we had a bit a roach problem .. those fuckers were everywhere ... I put some food in the microwave and those bitches were walking around the plate inside while it was on full microblast and nothing happened to them .. they just walked around like Laddy Dah .. fuck I hate those things

last night i killed 6 big cockroaches and a handful of baby ones in my kitchen. we have a serious cockroach problem in our apartment, getting sprayed the second time in 2 months.
i find the only thing that really works, is keeping food stored properly, never leaving any water around and of course pure violence inflicted with a fly swatter. damm bugs can be quick so i keep my swatter very close at all times. i figure the more you kill manually the more effective pest control is.
funny thing is i've been living in the projects for years and never had a roach problem, but recently upgraded to common civilian quarters, which cost a lot more, only to find my new apartment infested with those damned buggers.
beats a rat infestation any day thou...

once a building has them you can spray all you like, but it's not going to get rid of them.
if you want to reduce their numbers remove all food sources and water. this means ALL food sources, remember they can live off a few crumbs.
i also suggest doing some hardcore camping in the bush where you will be covered with all manners of insects. when you get home a couple of roaches won't seem like a big deal ;P

Yeah, I just poked around the basement of our building and didn't find any, so, that's a good sign.
Really think this bugger was a one-off that made it's way in through a window. Who knows though, I can't get into the storage units in the basement and there might just be a huge fucking infestation in one.
I am probably going to buy some boric acid and go to town in the basement. Shit eats anything alive. Love it. Had ant problems last summer so I just lined our apartment building's outside wall with it and they = demolished.

I lived in an appartment full of roaches,
the saying once you see one there's 100 more hiding it true,
but it depends of the size of the roach, if it was a baby roach you're screwed, if it looked like an adult and you only saw one,
you may get lucky, that probably means he got in from somewhere else,
anyways, a simple advice,
leave that place as soon as you can and trow out all the food or other items that are not essential,
you don't want to carry them in your new place,
