So i’ve lived in NYC for the past 11 years and i’ve never had a roach problem. I moved into a relatively large co-op in brooklyn heights in jan. There was a roach problem when i moved in but i refinished the floors, renovated the kitchen and painted the whole thing (well, it’s a small studio but still)..intially the roaches were gone, for a least a good 6 months. needless to say, they have returned. primarily in two sizes, tiny tiny baby sized roaches or a bit smaller than an inch. it’s a big building where an exterminator comes once a month but i don’t want those chemicals in my home. I put down boric acid and roach motels. i was sitting here reading brownstoner contemplating writing for advice or moral support and literally, tonight about one minute ago, a roach walked across my laptop screen. it sort of put me over the roach edge and i decided to write. thought? ideas? how do i get rid of these f#$@ers? i can’t take it anymore. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
