Hi mochi...Have you tried the sticky pads, i have seen people use them on programes i have watched and they do work, although i think you will need to get the house sprayed because of the eggs, if you live in flats than the whole block will need to be fumigated , my sister had them once in a temporary accommodation, she was running alive with them at night, it`s so stressful, hope you get it sorted, not nice...xox...

La cucarachas are very very difficult to kill... Your house will likely have to get fumigated..

Hello Mochi :) There is a product called Diatomaceous Earth which will kill bugs safely. The brand name may not be as important as making sure it is food grade, because then it will not harm your pets at all if they consume it. Some pet stores will sell it; you may have to phone around. Diatomacious earth is safe for us to eat because it is the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton (called diatoms). Once diatomaceous earth comes in contact with the insects's exoskeleton, its microscopic particles cut into their bodies, and begin to absorb the oils and fats from within the bug, which basically dehydrates the insect. This fast-action process effectively kills almost all bugs it comes in contact with, including cock roaches, silverfish, bed bugs, - all without the use of chemicals or harmful compounds. It will even kill slugs in your garden.





• Ants
• Bedbugs
• Fleas
• Cockroaches
• Silverfish
• Flour Beetles
• Darkling Beetles
• Grain Beetles
• Carpet Beetles
• Colorado Potato Beetles
• Caterpillars
• Earwigs
• Centipedes
• Millipedes
• Sowbugs
• Pillbugs
• Spiders
• Crickets
• Slugs

You are welcome :) I have some here, but have never used it :D My daughter first told me about it. You could even use it on your pets if they had fleas! You would just rub some of the powder into their fur. It should be easy enough to find the product. Even garden stores might carry it, but just make sure it is food grade. If you are using it in a wet area (like your garden), you may have to make many applications. Something like cock roaches may take a week to die :p Apply food grade diatomaceous earth in the cracks and crevices around your home as well as in other areas where the roaches may be hiding. Leave it down for a few days to a week and then vacuum it up :)

Can you call an exterminator? I pray things get better for you because it sounds very uncomfortable to live in.

Girl, if you can see them in every part of your house, then you have a wickedly bad infestation of them. And if they have not invaded your room yet, be warned, THEY WILL... If the infestation is as bad as it sounds, diatomaceous earth won't help, especially if you have a large house..

A few years ago in my old apartment, I had a wicked infestation of fleas.. THREE separate times, the exterminator had to come out and spray. Tequila (my cat at the time) and I had to leave for a couple hours each time..
