Massive 3-inch Cockroach Spotted Scaling Honda

If you spot a cockroach larger than 1 inch inside of your house, it's an outside cockroach that found its way in. If you find a cockroach under 1 inch long, it's a cockroach that lives in your home and likely has plenty of buddies.

A little clarification, the indoor, small (under 1in) roaches are German Cockroaches. They reproduce rapidly and generally live in kitchens or other areas with food (they love grease) and water. Combat these by keeping your home clean. Large, outdoor roaches, such as American Cockroaches can still live indoors, but are more likely to be in the walls near moisture, such as a water leak. To combat these, find sources of moisture and fix them. Of course, there are pesticide options for both, but treating the problem rather than the symptom is usually a wiser and more cost effective.

I’ve caught a couple big roaches under or around my refrigerator, and the comment about a water leak had me paranoid. My roommate and I pulled the fridge away from the wall, and sure enough there is a small amount of standing water and water damage to the wall. Something is leaking. You just saved me from what could have been a much worse situation!

“Hey big mammal, you’ve got a leak back here!”

Oh god, a roach! Kill it!” stomp

.... back at the roach family home

Where’s mom?

“She went to tell that big mammal about a water leak, I’m sure he’s thanking her with a party. I’m sure she’ll want to introduce her loving family to him, I’ll go find her!”

daddy, can I come too?”

You bet kiddo! Maybe there’ll be cake!

Yay!!!

Just to clarify, I used to be a pest control technician, German roaches can live even in the cleanest of places. If you have an infestation, it doesn’t matter how much you clean, you still need to get rid of the community of roaches. Keep your sinks clear of food at night (they are nocturnal) and apply some gel bait. Make sure that’s the only food they can find and it will help to eradicate the colony. German roaches typically have a base of operations where their eggs and young stay and the adults go back to during the warmer lighter parts of the day. The adults come out at night and forage for food and then come back to the community and defecate. The infants and juveniles feed on the droppings of the adults. So setting some gel bait when you have confirmed an infestation is the best way to combat this particular roach. That being said, this LPT is a little misleading because a small cockroach can also be an Asian roach. Asian and German roaches look identical to the human eye and the telltale sign is the time of day that you saw the roach and whether it could fly. German roaches cannot fly, they can jump high assisted by their wings but cannot fly. Asian roaches can fly. Asian roaches aren’t really anything to worry about because they don’t typically live in communities in homes.

Hi there! Would you know the appropriate government/private bodies that handle roach infestations in apartment complexes?

Maxx properties has been handling roaches, general maintenance, and billing errors for years now. Its low income neighborhoods so I doubt many have the legal recourse / scared to fight back.

We have video evidence of "pest management" spray for less than 15 seconds, making us wait all day so that when they finally do show up we vacate for 3+ hours. This also doesn't solve anything if its sprayed door to door, roaches just go from one apartment to the next.

Maxx properties refused to tent the entire building and cover the costs of displacement.

As a person who works in apartment maintenance, I can tell you that going to a local news station is probably your best bet. The cost of displacement of residents and pets, even just overnight, is large and tenting a whole building is hard. Conversely, people keeping their homes clean is paramount in keeping them away if the situation is ever rectified. If there's nothing for them to eat/drink, they won't stay, although they may nest in walls as their nests in other apartments get bigger. I'm going to get blasted three ways to hell for this, but I find a good majority of the time with lower income housing that cleanliness is an issue. Not saying that ALL tenants are this way, but it is prevalent.

If you’ve seen one, you definitely have more. They’re pretty good at hiding and usually only come out in larger numbers at night near food sources. Get your apartment treated ASAP.
