I moved to my current house on Dec 1st. When I was moving I was in a hurry, because my old roommate and I were involved in a lawsuit with or former landlord and if we wanted to recieve the money owed to us (about $20,000) then we had 10 days to move. I decided to move without my old roommate because he just loved to sue our landlords and I wanted no part of any more lawsuits.
So I found this house, it wasnt exactly what i was looking for but it was nice, there were some "issues" that were minor at the time, like faucets that wernt attached, the house was dirty, there was still former tenant stuff all over the house and in cabinets. So my landlord gets it cleaned for me, and moved all the tenant stuff though it took him longer then he said it would, like 2 weeks, it was annoying but mildly annoying.
It wasnt till we moved in did my best friend and I discovered how nasty the kitchen was, every counter was sticky, and there was what looked like dirt all around the counters. We soon find out that there is a roach problem. So I call the landlord, he says no problem I have an account with Terminix Ill send them out. Sounds easy enough, but wrong. When they come to spray, you have to move every single thing from the kitchen, everything, then they come and spray, you wait four hours, then you come home and you have to clean every inch very very well so there is no residue, since this was in the kitchen and we eat there, i wanted to make sure we didnt contaminate anything, so the cleaning process takes a while, then when your done with cleaning you have to bring everything back in and put it away, if you have a lot of stuff in your pantrys and such this can be a time consuming process, to get it back to normal.
Ok so It was annoying but I figured this would take care of our problem, wrong agian. The roaches never really left, I'd see a survivor, and then eventually there would be more surivivors. So it was time to call Terminix agian, and repeat the whole process. (This is very annoying, especially when you have 4 dogs, and 1 cat you have to get them out of the house) But we did it agian and sure enough we still have those darn survivors. Lastnight I went in the kitchen for a late night snack and the kitchen counter was covered with little baby roaches I could hardly even see, yuck!
Now im getting really annoyed, I pay a lot of money to rent this house and I shouldnt have to deal with this, and this is just one of many issues im having at this house. Its so frustrating, Termininx will be coming back tomorow at 7am! This time Im letting the stuff sit over night, im going to close the doors to the kitchen so the animals cant get in, but i swear im soooo annoyed, and i cant even eat at home cause the thought of the roaches grosses me out! And we keep everything very clean, especially after first finding out about the roach problem, so its not b/c we are dirty, but the landlord and his family who supposedly lived here before us must have been the most nasty people on the planet!
Im just so frustrated, I want the roach issue to be resolved, Im tired of washing plates and silverware before i use them, cause im scared roaches were crawling on it. Its soooo grosssss! I cant keep anything on the counters unless it is in a zip lock bag, and i have to refrigerate bread (i hate cold bread) its annoying!
Anyone else ever have this problem? Is there anything else i can do to make sure those suckers die and dont come back? I cant bring myself to eat in the kitchen, even having my morning coffee makes my stomach quesy thinking about it.
i just want to scream!
