Roaches and moving?

[Anonymous]

Recently I had a roach infestation nearing the time I moved. An exterminator came and did a quick spray around the places they frequent. However the night before moving I saw one near the door of my room, near a place where I spilled something. Before that night I hadn’t seen any in my room. I haven’t seen one in my new apartment and it’s been a week, but I also haven’t really unpacked yet and I’m nervous about the possibility, especially because I’ve moved more of my boxes in. Previously my boxes were in a Storage unit, so I was wondering if anyone could help tamper down the fears of bringing any or give me the harsh probability of bringing any? If anyone’s had roaches and then moved, to share experiences

Probably going to have to fog. Roach eggs are tiny, and persistent, and if you had roaches before you still do.

Remember that next time you spill something and are like "I'll get it later".

Borax works pretty well to keep killing them safely (for you).

I've had my experiences with roach investations, they can hide eggs anywhere including clothing, they you bring them into your home or anywhere else that way, if say when you open everything, do it outside and shake that shit well before bringing everything inside.

Make sure when you unpack to spray again also if you live in apartment they need to spray other neighbors cause otherwise they'll just go back and forth keep things extra clean use vinegar with bleach hope that helps

You need to call in professionals to deal with roaches. Bug bombs and the like are useless most of the time.

It sounds like you may have brought some in your move
