A nurse at the hospital suggested a two gallon spray from the local Home Depot to kill the roaches. I bought it. Tonight I'll clear out all the dishes, jars and packaged food from the kitchen. Then I'll spray every cupboard, countertop, corner, cracks, hidden area, etc. Hopefully by morning I'll see results.

Follow behind in the AM with the vacuum with hose. vacuum up every little bit of carcass and evidence too. If you have to periodically (weekly) spray into every crack crevice, wall cavity accessible, crawl space, etc. That'll usually do it. But get the carcasses out before the SS (social services - same thing) sees them. Carcasses are the same as the live ones as far as they're concerned....

And A-1 is very correct about Legal Aid or similar. This is the very kind of thing they exist for.

Sounds like excellent advice. Probably, there is a legal service for poor people--that handles civil cases.

A hospital social worker just called me. I assured her the house was clean and that I am actively engaged in combatting the roaches. She "seemed" reassured.

She said my mom is receiving intra-veinous solutions to fight her pneumonia. The hospital social workere reccommended mom go to a nursing home for two weeks so she can continue to receive her IV medications . I can't do her needles so I agreed. The social worker said, "after two weeks your mom can go home."

That bitchy county social worker hasn't returned since I sprayed. BTW, the spraying was ineffective. Yes, I found thousands of dead roaches on the floor and in the cupboards this morning. However, there are hundreds more running on the walls and ceiling. I'm beginning to think that tenting might be the only way to rid myself of them.

And tenting is too prohibitively costly.

Keep spraying! It does work. If needed, check around and read content labels. Get different brands/chemicals... Multi-task, er attack em

Not only that but you must keep the grease picked up, use some bleach, they dont like that. A good cleaning and a good spraying daily will get rid of them.

Cheap, dirty and works! Get some jar lids, put in boric acid (borax) and deposit under the frig etc and where the roach critters run. Doesn't hurt to mix in some flour and bacon drippings. Look up 'roach boric acid' on google.

The bug cases, (eggs) can survive for quite some time. You have to keep up the poisoning routine until all have hatched out and died or you sterilize all of the eggs with substances that are toxic to them...sometimes this takes dedication and months...look here...

Life History

Periplaneta americana

The Oothecae contain 14 to 28 eggs. Incubation time for the eggs is temperature dependant and hatching takes approximately 35 days at 30 degrees C and 59 days at 20 degrees C. Incubation time is more temperature dependant for Periplaneta americana than for any other species of Cockroach so far studied. Nymphs take between 4.5 and 15 months or longer to reach maturity depending on the temperature and the availability of food, females normally undergo 9 moults while males normally take 13. Life expectancy ranges from 2 to 4 years and a female can produce 30 oothecae resulting in 1000 young before dying of old age.
