OMG, girls, I think I just killed a cockroach. I almost had a heart attack! I went to the kitchen for some water, my head is about to explode from pain. I have to go back for another painkiller. What do I do now????? I've never had this before! I'm on the 4th floor! Someone in the building chat recently said they saw one in the stairwell, and then the management company supposedly dealt with them in the basement. I didn't pay attention because we've never seen any in all these years and I thought we didn't have them. I've never seen a cockroach, but I think a fast-moving, elongated brown bug is one. OMG, how I caught it... I killed it, but now what? Call pest control to come to the apartment? How? Where would we even go? My child goes to school, we have clothes, two cats, fish.... ugh, I can't sleep now, ugh ugh, I absolutely hate anything crawling, especially that disgusting thing.
Has anyone tried this? I Googled it, and got conflicting info: Option 1 says no, it'll melt. Option… Я вообще никогда не была знакома с этими шапками. Но у сына началась аллергия на ветер (ну или на хо…

You would have died in my apartment. It was on the first floor, they were crawling up from the basement, and there was a bar next door. I tried everything to get rid of them, and specialists came, there were millions of them, they were practically falling from the ceiling.
Now we live in a different apartment, I saw one and immediately set traps. Haven't seen any more since.

Nothing yet, until it happens again. This can happen after being bullied. Don't leave food or water out overnight, so they don't have any temptation to settle in with you. I think this is just a scout for now

yuliya yakubova I'm freaking out. Or what is this... My head won't stop racing now, I can't sleep, and I really want to. Although I think I've calmed down a bit. Damn, I even washed my hands several times, but I can't bring myself to touch myself, even though I had a rag in my hand and was wetting it. Ugh, ugh, terrible, terrible... and you're suggesting I watch replays 😭 Damn, now I'm thinking, what if they were alive before, and I just didn't see it

yuliya yakubova No, I doubt they lived) I'm also terrified of cockroaches 🫠 I'm even afraid to swat them with a slipper; if my husband is home, I'll call him. Six months ago, I killed one, and for another month, I was extra vigilant, especially at night(

Who are you going to chase away? Maybe it was just passing through? That happened to me, I think I brought in three of them on my clothes, that was it. Haven't seen any more than those three. Or maybe it just came in from the stairwell.

Set traps.

We saw one this summer too, but haven't seen it since. I set out a few traps, but it didn't get caught. I think it was just passing through; it was also sluggish and didn't run away, just stood there. They are in the building, and the management occasionally writes that they'll be fumigating the basements. In the 2 years we've lived here, this is the first time we've seen one. We're just keeping an eye on it for now.

Aurika I've lived here for 13 years 😔 and never noticed it. Now I'm wondering if I'm just blind.

I'm getting cockroaches and drain flies from my parents' place. I can't close it off because the gas water heater is there. They're coming from grandma's on the 3rd floor. It's awful. I found them when I lived there too. I scattered roach tablets everywhere out of reach of the kids. And sticky traps on the kitchen cabinets. They're constantly filling up with new victims. It's awful. We tried to get rid of them. But if everyone doesn't treat them, they'll just come back.
