How Do I Deal With Severe Cockroach Infestation? by NevetsIbot(m): 12:08am On Aug 31
I moved to this new apartment in January. Did all the cleaning and all of that. Everything seemed cool.

The first night I spent here, I noticed I was dealing with a lot of cockroaches… Big ones coming from the bathroom drain and tiny ones littered around in the kitchen.

I was so irritated and I inquired about who stayed in the apartment before me. According to the neighbors, the previous guy was dirtier than a pig and a sloth combined. This guy must have been breeding these irritating insects. They clearly said no one could enter the apartment while he was living there cos of how dirty he was.

I killed nothing less than 500 cockroaches after spraying a full can of insecticide in the house and on God! I’m not even exaggerating.

I had peace for three days and started seeing them again. I have used Sniper! Ran out of the house for three days and doused the whole apartment in sniper!! I only had peace for three days too.

I practically wine and dine with cockroaches now. I empty a full can every week to kill them and I still end up killing a lot every single time but they never just stop coming. After spraying, I’m always greeted with cockroaches when I’m walking in. I’m fed up and tired.

How will I have a visitor and I and the visitor will be killing tiny cockroaches with me giving excuses and feeling embarrassed.

My apartment is always clean! I hate cockroaches especially the tiny ones.

Please I’ve run out of options. I’m contemplating moving out if I can’t get some type of long term fix.

Please I’m very open to suggestions!! I’m facing more shege from cockroaches than I’m facing from Mr President.

Are you sure the roaches aren't entering through a cracked space or vent directly into your apartment from outside

From your explanation you would have killed nothing less than 1000 cockroaches in the apartment already and except you live in a mansion with like 200 rooms or so I don't think even a 3 bedroom apartment can house that much cockroaches if there isn't an external passage for them to access from.

Your first fumigation should have done the magic but since it still persist then maybe there's more to the issue itself....

Use powder or sniper mostly at night in all areas of the house. Find a place outside to sleep for the night.

Check for cracked holes anywhere.

Green Leaf insecticide powder is the solution to your cockroaches problem. It's super effective against cockroaches and ants, and cheap. It's odourless and almost colourless. Just sprinkle around the entire house - that's it! I don't know how it works, but you won't see those annoying cockroaches and ants again!

discard old items and buy otapiapia..you might need up to 20 bottles but keep spraying it one bottle at a time.

Seek for the service of fumigators for deep fumigation. All living insects and flies will be smoked out once and for all

I called in a plumber to seal everywhere possible with cement. Although I noticed that the kitchen tiles were not installed properly and there are little gaps at the corners. I empty almost all the can of spray there any time I spray. And I can boldly tell you, I have killed more than a thousand of those tiny cockroaches…. No exaggeration here.

It’s a two bedroom apartment. And everything used to be mainly from the kitchen and now, despite all my spraying and fumigating, they’re now virtually everywhere.

Sealed holes already boss. Same thing. Used powder and sniper already…. Same thing. Personally, I’m scared of sniper and don’t think I wanna try it again.

I used an iron netting to cover the drain.. that’s how I was able to stop the big cockroaches from coming in. The main issue are the tiny ones.

Buy insecticide powder and pour it along the edges of your rooms and hidden areas. Do not keep trash indoors. Fumigate the area around the house too. It will take a little time but the roaches will leave eventually.
Re: How Do I Deal With Severe Cockroach Infestation? by LilMissFavvy(f): 9:59am On Aug 31
Fumigating the house alone is not enough. You have to fumigate the insides of the ceiling and block tiny holes if any.
Re: How Do I Deal With Severe Cockroach Infestation? by RealityKings: 10:26am On Aug 31
Buy cement and mend all those damp areas especially the soakaway sides

Cockroaches thrive in darkness. If you're experiencing an invasion, it means that your apartment is constantly dark thus giving them the perfect opportunity to convert it into a breeding ground.

I'll therefore advice you to illuminate your apartment if you want to get rid of them. Get bulbs and install it in every nook and crany of your house . With time, they'll migrate from your place to a more convenient place.

There is a chamber in that house where the roaches breed. Your job is to locate the chamber and spray it.

Get original Green Leaf powder. Its usually in a green nylon sachet. Its very effective. Just sprinkle it in areas they use to feed and roam. A sachet can eradicate more than two cans of baygon.

Please don't waste your money on can spray insecticides.

Follow this tips and you will never see any of the roaches again...
First any openings on the ceiling and Celles it.
For the big Roches buy 2 bottles of power shots ( you can get it in any supermarket).
Spray it in hidden places in your house,
The toilet sinks, under the wash hands basing any dark place in the house. Do this before going to work and when you come back home you will see wonders..
And for the little bandits, those ones are special case.
No spray will eliminate them all, they are like bandits.
Now what you will do is to buy one liter of thinner, a thousand naira kerosene miss it together put it in a pet bottle make an opening on top on hidden part of your kitchen in night, that's when they normal come out to feed.
The idea is not to kill the roaches alone but they eggs.
A single German roache can lay an egg that will hatch 30 roaches, imagine having ten lay an egg each.
Do this every week for one month,
And you will never see them again.

You have received many good advice here. The above has a point. You are killing them in cycles. Whatever you are doing, do back to back like 5 times with like 2 days in between each treatment so that as the eggs are hatching, you are killing them until you have got them all.

One important thing you are overlooking is prayer. These things are more spiritual than physical most times. Go on a fast one good day and pray to God to drive those creatures from your flat that you paid for with your hard earned legal money. Unless the money was gotten illegally of which the law of " no rest for the wicked" is what is following you.

Thanks a lot boss. This is why I ran to Nairaland… I knew I’d definitely get good advices here.

On to wage war on these roaches.
