[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 688335, member: 1963"] Ew! I hope your landlord realizes that unless he sprays EVERY unit on the same day, all he's doing is chasing the roaches from one apt to another. I live in a ground level apartment, but so far haven't seen any out of the usual creepy-crawlies. Good thing, as coming from my experiences living in a slum environment, I've become a bit unhinged when it comes to roaches. When Stu and I first moved in together, we lived in a neighborhood in Chicago known as "Little Saigon". Stu got a boiler license and took over the building as "super", which got us free rent. He also had to let the exterminators, who came monthly, into the apartments to spray. We had one tenant who, while always home, would refuse to allow the exterminators in to do their work. As a result, they'd spray, we'd get about 2 roach free days, (spent sweeping up roach corpses) and then be inundated in refugees from that one apartment. It was basically hopeless. The only things I've got here are spiders, which don't bother me, I just catch them and release them outdoors, and centipedes, which give me the screaming meemies. [/QUOTE]
