Friday night of Labor Day weekend, I come home from a night out with friends and sit down to relax in my living room. My little dog wanted a treat so I went into the kitchen to get her a bone from the cubbard. I open the cubbard & there are zillions of baby roaches crawling on the shelves, in her dog biscuits, on canned food, boxed ceral, oh my god was it disgusting. I am normally the type to recyle, but in a moment like this I just threw everything in the cabinet out into 2 huge garbage bags. I cleaned out the cabinets with Clorox. At this point I cant sleep, I'm itchy and I'm freaking out. I notice there are more babies by the dogs dish, they where climbing on my counter too, inside my cabinets where my dishes where. EWWW! Total freak out.
I research online what to do after I cloroxed everything so thoroughly the skin literally peeled off my fingers. I used the boric acid in all the corners then called an exterminator. Ofcourse it was Labor Day weekend so noone was working. Fan----ingtastic! I begged one exterminator to sell me the spray so I could do it myself. He mustve pitied me because I'm a real girly girl with the fake nails and highlights in my hair and he knew I would probably commit suicide if I didn't get my apartment treated for bugs immediately. I ended up spraying the perimeters of every room and using the boric acid in my closets and other hard to reach places. I swiffered, vaccuumed, cleaned all my linens, slip covers, threw out phone books, shoeboxes and other shit I dont need. I also poured clorox down all of my drains, sinks, showers, and the toilet too. I found a few stragglers in my bedrooms before I sprayed I stepped on them and so far I haven't seen anything.
Being a typically neat and clean person this is a really bad experience for me. I been obsessively researching online what works best to kill these fuckers. I'm going to buy Diatomaceous Earth, you can find it on Amazon, it's nontoxic and is supposed to be dam good. It's safe to use around pets so I figure I'll dust my floors (I got hardwood throughout my apt.) so the little fuckers cant squeeze through the floor boards. Since I did my massive treatment my neighbor upstairs has been seeing them. I think they peaced out of my apt. and went over to her crib because it's not toxic and probably got some good food. I also found out the following products work well Cypermethrin (it is not available in NY, which I happen to live in so I'm sending it to a friends house in NJ), Drione, Orthene, Maxforce, Avert & Advance work well according to most of the sites I have read. Also get some clear caulk and do any tiny crack & crevice these bastards could be coming out of. I have always sceeved bugs and this is a nightmare to me, I told my landlord he needs an exterminator but I'm doing my part inorder to help prevent infestation. OMG that word is so gross. Good Luck my fellow Terminators. Hopefully the roaches wont be back.
