because it did nothing. I’m not sure what type of roaches they are but they are very hard to kill. They walk around When I first moved in, my movers said “you have visitors”. I went to the front door looking for someone. He pointed to a mound of roaches coming out of the stove and all over the kitchen floor. I almost passed out. I had never seen so many roaches. I knew that there was an infestation and I was probably never going to get rid of them.
Also, I noticed that the apartment manager tries
...to fault tenants for the roach infestation. Tenants can be the cause of roaches here and there, but if pest control is not effectively treating the apartments, an infestation will occur. That is not the tenants fault. I have rented for over 20 years—multiple dwellings and I’m sure some tenants close to me had roaches. I never had a problem with roaches/rats because the pest control companies were doing a good job combating pest.
At the Terrace, there were roaches living in the smoke alarms. They would go off all night because the roaches were crawling around inside and triggering the alarm. I had to ask them to remove them out of the apartment. I saw remnants of roaches that had been painted over on the walls and pantry before I moved in. I spent hundreds of dollars buying professional strength spray to minimize the roaches in my apartment. The apartment manager kept sending pest control to my apartment. By that time, they have laid eggs all over the place. I never invited any one to my apartment because I was afraid that roaches would come out while entertaining company which would have been very embarrassing.
My children and I were constantly experiencing upper respiratory illnesses. We made frequent visits to our family doctor for sinus infections. There was black mold covering the inside of the vents and some was on the wall. I was stuck in a lease so that was not an option. I went out and purchased about 5 air purifiers and was counting down the days of my lease ending. That apartment was killing us. After we moved out, we never experienced upper respiratory illnesses again.
