Got the boric acid and the other combat stuff. Spread the boric acid EVERYWHERE underneath the kitchen counter, behind the fridge, behind the stove. Under the bathroom sink. Even under the sinks counter :D

Then I put the combat traps in corners and some randomly placed in dark areas. I didn't use the combat gell as it seems to be very dark and I don't want to damage any paint.

Sooo hopefully it works : D

I have only seen on cockroach since i've moved in two weeks ago but who knows what happens when i'm sleeping.

They crawl into your mouth and lay eggs in your brain.

When I was living in a college apartment, I had problems with cockroaches too. My apartment was clean, I used traps, etc. The problem was that my neighbors were slobs. Not much you can do about it except try to kill the ones in your unit.

i remember one cockroach i saw in my dorm bathroom. I didn't have any actual roach spray, so I tried all the other sprays i had available.

Spray starch didn't really slow it down at all...

Windex caused it some discomfort..it was still for a bit but was soon running around again.

black spray paint did nothing but make a roach outline on the floor and convert the roach into a ninja.
