Yeah they’re sending an exterminator later this week but I’m literally afraid to use the kitchen, so ever since I moved in I’ve been eating cold sandwiches on the porch and $1 burgers from mcds in my car lest I drop a crumb somewhere inside and they swarm
They seem to be living in the oven
I bought bait and traps to use until the exterminator gets here
Between this and my landlord stealing my deposit for “yard work” and leaving me destitute I’m depressed
Yikes that sounds really bad if the colony is in the house. But don't worry, roach extermination can be really effective. Sounds like the landlord is a scumbag, but as long as the exterminator is legit and not like, the landlord's cousin, you should expect things to get temporarily better. Make sure the exterminator is doing long-term remediation and not just a kill job (e.g. traps around the property). You'll also want to keep traps of your own around to poison any roaches that try to return, get a trashcan with a lid on it, and keep your kitchen and dining areas clean, just to make sure the situation doesn't get out of hand again. Good luck with the landlord :-\
