The Embarassing Roach Problem
I just moved into a rent house and found out that it has roaches. I put down Combat Platinum gel and it got rid of a lot of them, but I still see some here and there.
I keep the place clean. I never leave food out. All my food is sealed up in air-tight containers. I can't afford Terminex or any other pest control service. How can I get rid of the rest of the roaches?

Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning?
well first off if you have plastic bags stored in a cabinet get rid of them throw them out immediately cause insulation and warmth is what attracts roaches. they also like to rid in appliances or near them or under them so keep a close eye around your microwave, toaster, coffee maker, stove, etc. you should clean daily and clean all around and clean the appliances thoroughly. adn lastly try investing on getting riddex. that works very well. the way it works is that you plug into you outlit or outlits and it kills all the bugs that live in your walls or where they are nesting where you can't see them. so it kills all the remaining bugs that are or were trying to hide from the stuff you used.

yeah, i'm having the same problem. Like my house is always clean there's always someone coming around picking up stuff and doing all of that stuff and I still seem to have cockroaches.
I talked to my mom and she said it was because of the siding of our house or something like that?
which were getting fixed this summer. Maby that could be the same problem for you?
My adivce would to either get that checked or to call an exterminator out.
Hope my advice helped.

as ninjaneer said the landlord is fully responsible, if anything he should give you the money back that you spent, and im not sure how it is where you live but in N.S.W. Australia you can hire someone that charges up to $1000 and the landlord has to pay for it.
hope i helped!! =)

Ugh, I had the same problem.
Try glue traps. I would lay them flat (instead of folding them up) and place them wherever I saw roaches running across.
Another thing; if you're renting, your landlord is responsible for ensuring a proper environment. If you are still having a roach problem, they are required by law to have an exterminator come.
