    My husband worked as a service tech traveling to many homes and it doesn't matter if you live in an apartment or a $500,000 home, if you leave food out the critters will find it. He used to come home with horror stories about very expensive homes being filled with trash, animal feces, and dirty diapers. Wealthy or struggling these conditions are everywhere.

      @Mellie Рік тому +35

      Cockroaches and mice don't come from dirt, filth trash or food though. Those things exacerbate the problem if they've found a way into the home but they don't cause it. You could be the cleanest person alive and still get an infestation. On the other hand, if the critters don't find a way in first, then no matter how dirty the house, there is no pest problem.
      I have worked for people who were absolutely filthy and they never got bugs because the bugs never managed to get into their home. I have also seen people who were relatively clean that got roaches because they came in from the grocery store or an amazon box or what not. Also, mice will only come in if there is an opening in the house big enough. You could have a house littered with food and if mice can't get in, then there isn't going to be a mice problem.

      I suspect the NY Health department is part of the problem- they turn a blind eye and yet moan about the rat problem.
      If they enforced reasonable standards on all landlords the issue would be reduced.
      Piling up plastic bags on the streets doesn’t help either - rubbish should only be in metal bins with lids, or solid plastic with lids- something rodents can’t get into.
      It’s only common sense.

    When you have a pest infestation in an apartment building you have to treat all the units at the same time otherwise they move from one area to another. You kill some, but most will escape by moving through the walls to the next unit. It's such a sad situation. No one should live like that. Thanks for helping them :-)

    • @sarahholland2600

  • @menorah7

    I think some of the responsibility needs to fall on the landlords and property managements they need to do at least twice a year inspections on these apartments. Also roaches in the like even when you move out travel to different apartments so when emptying these trash that had mice as well as roaches you need to be very careful as you're going down hallways and disposing of the trash because they jump off and then go into other apartments. Again that's why I think it's very important for these apartment management or landlords to have at least yearly inspections.

    Wow. No one should have to live like this, and I hope she gets the help she needs. I don't know how it was able to get this bad living in an apartment building. My landlords are always in and out of my unit for one reason or the other, so they would know pretty quickly if my unit looked like this. You did a great job cleaning, but all those roaches ran into other apartments, and the entire building is probably now infected.

      The building was probably already infested. In shared living spaces it's very difficult to keep roaches out once they get in. She mentioned the other apartments had trouble too with the roaches and mice.

But since they have pets, they would need to use old fashioned traps, NOT the sticky paper ones. Those sticky things are just cruel.

    I cleaned a hoarder house once. It was much like this but worse. After I cleaned up the trash and removed all the human food in the house, The mice began cannibalizing each other and were soon gone when looking for another source of food. There were two young boys living there, one of them returned after cleaning and spent an hour opening every single drawer, every single cabinet door and every closet to see it if was all clean and bug free. The roaches were so bad that they could not drink in the dark. That was one of the most satisfying times in my life.

    You really did an amazing job on this place. It's tough working on places like this because the roach and mice infestation is probably a problem throughout the entire building, and getting rid of the problem in this apartment alone will never be a permanent solution for the tenants until the entire building's problem is addressed.

Well, i put kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom in working clean order. I even painted the kitchen. I threw nothing away, just rehomed stuff so i could function. Within 6 months i moved to an apartment and my husband followed. His mom, who didnt live there btw, didnt like anything and was critical of course. I didn't understand that making a place liveable would be upsetting. I learned the hard way. But wow girl, you rock!!!
