Today, despite my best efforts to keep my new apartment clean and weeks of denying the complex has a bug problem, I came face to face with a roach in my cupboard. I swear the little bastard waved at me. FML

OP here. I've spoken to management and they're working on an exterminator, as the whole complex was bought out 3 weeks ago. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later, or I will have to burn it down! In the meantime my cat and I have shown no mercy.

Those little boogers are (nearly) the worst! I hope it was at night time when you saw it. Usually, they say that if you see them during the day, the infestation is so bad, they are overcrowded and have nowhere else to hide. No joke! I moved into a place like that, and I'm convinced an exterminator is the only way to get rid of them. I hope you have a good landlord to take care of that issue.

I have had that issue in my apartment complex. you need to get the boric acid can be found at Walmart or online. I sprinkled it where I saw them most and into the wall by taking the cover plates off the electrical outlets and spraying some down to hit the neighbors below me. Also get a can of raid for the ones you see and I highly highly recommend a plug in device by riddex. it plugs into the outlet and makes a noise only the bugs here that makes them retreat. I got mine at bed bath and beyond and it made a huge difference for me. Good luck with getting rid of the bugs.

This is my favorite fml so far. And it's not just because I've watch naked lunch almost a dozen times...

It's a cockroach. Quit being a drama queen, Flint it, and get on with your life. One bug is not an infestation.

Not true. If you see one cockroach, then you have a LOT more that you dont see. My father owns a pest control company that I managed for over ten years.

Looks like you've got a new roommate.

Did he do a little dance to stayin' alive?

Well, at least it was trying to be friendly.

hate it when they try to punk us no lie. I relate

Dried bay leaves help deter them! If you have a store with bulk spices, get some there [cheap].
