call pest control
lol, whatever you don't step on roaches they just multiply and mutate, and fly and do all sorts of things..... To be honest, roaches in our house.... we could kill em but they came as they wish, i haven't seen a roach in my house for AGES............ But I know they'll be back, same deal with mice - there's a certain time for it.

I blame the filthy neighbors.

Answer: if you want to get rid of roaches get your cash out and call a terminator....... only way I've seen it done.
Terminator is you're only solution.

I thought of Men in Black when I read the thread title.

Oh dear, you really shouldn't have left it months before dealing with roaches. After this long they'll no doubt be just about everywhere - call pest control ASAP i.e. 9am tomorrow.
Call an exterminator, if you're renting its the landlords duty to provide one.

As for killing the roaches, DO NOT STEP ON THEM, you could cause them to drop eggs and you will have a bigger problem.

If you have fans turn them on, keep the place as cold as possible and vacuum everywhere. Buy some HOTSHOT or RAID, not sure if they sell it in the UK but it's amazing stuff, spray it everywhere and watch those S.O.B's die.

Oh yes :wink:
Cleverly disguised, no one will ever know! :woo:
Keep your dick clean.
when you see them, politely tell them you would rather they found somewhere else to live, if you are decent about it they should respect your wishes and find a new home. Manners are the key to any situation.

hmmm is their nothing that poisons them etc

i really don't know, usually when i have pest problems its only ants in the back garden and that a simple, pour turps everywhere and throw a match :biggrin:
I had roaches in my room when I lived in nepal for a couple of months, I just nuked the place hardcore with spray and they all died. You have to do it EVERYWHERE though, the whole floor area and drains and door frames and use a really strong spray. That should definitely do it.
