That house needs to "accidentally" catch fire

[dindermufflin]

Thousands? Look in that window. If you can imagine what is going on further inside, more like... millions.

That house should accidentally catch fire, and I escaped Illinois and Mayor LIGHTWEIGHT almost one year ago, Happy anniversery to me!

I like how the house has a sign that says "for sale" on it.

Why the hell do we bother paying taxes?

A new neighbor moved in downstairs 2weeks later I started seeing roaches. I told my landlord, she previously moved from an upstairs unit. My landlord went and checked her apartment it was infested he came back ten minutes later handed her a 2 day eviction notice and sent her ass packing. He sent in exterminators and they were here for almost a month every two days until they were gone. My whole point is how can people live with roaches like their house guests. And do nothing to get rid of them.

I did a set out and clean out of a house that infested years ago. They drop from the ceilings onto you...pop underfoot...they're so greasy it's like walking on black ice...I would strip in the garage and bag my clothes with bug spray inside before going in the house. Smells horrible...hard to find help to do the cleanup as well...

sad thing is dont matter how clean you are roaches still happen sometimes you never know they there

[lathamarea]

sounds like Johnny Arson needs to get involved

911 police fire or medical
Me. Fire

Me. The house next door is on fire idk how it happened 🤷🏾‍♂️

Wait... Roaches have 6 legs? And comes in 2 different colors 🤣... Y'all are some experts, man.

[jasmine]

The pesticide everyday is just making the roaches resistant to it. Omg

[MelinaAcosta]

Where are the pyromaniacs when you need them?

[josefmacichek]

Yeah, the county and township will gladly collect property taxes from you, but ask them to do anything more than the bare minimum and they soil their pants and cry.

That roach motel and surrounding perimeters will have to be completely fumigated for however long it takes, because (as somebody already mentioned) the moment that house is torn down those roaches will scatter, looking for new homes. And even if that roach trap is burned, I suspect that many of the roaches will escape.

[kimberlyatwell]

They travel across yards driveways. Me and my husband have to spray everyday. Know the home owners moved and left everything inside. Its a nightmare

Would Someone Please Tell that woman that There is Something She Could use. It comes in A Tube. My Sister told me about it because I had A Slight infestation of Roaches but it was Nothing Like the House that was Shown on the Video. I waited about 2 to 3 Weeks before I Literally Realized that I did Not See even 1 Roach. I couldn't believe it. I Literally went Looking Around my Apartment to See if the Roaches were maybe just Hiding. There was not 1Roach to be Found. I Smiled so much and was Soooo Relieved. I felt Like I Moved to A New Apartment. I was so Thankful to God that the Product Worked. Now When I Sit at my Dining Room Table I Don't Have to worry about Roaches Crawling on the Table As Soon As They Sense that there is Food Nearby. The Name of the Product is Called, " Advion Cockroach Gel Bait" it Comes in A Clear Syringe. I'm not Too Sure of where you can Purchase it but My Sister Said She went to A Store that Sells Paint and Hardware and other Things and She found it there. I Live in Brooklyn New York. I was Also thinking that Maybe you could Google it or Try Amazon . My Sister told me She Spent about 16 Dollars for it but As you May Know different Stores May have Different Prices. You May Need more than one Syringe because That House is So Badly Infested and You May Need to Wait A Little Longer than 3 Weeks. Try To Figure out Where the Cracks And Crevices Are Around that House and Squeeze Some of the Gel into it. If There Might be Anyone Brave Enough to go into the House then you Could Squeeze Some of the Gel Around The Cabinets that are in the kitchen and basically in the Corners where Roaches Like to Huddle Together and Hide. Do it All around the House. Patience is Needed because The infestation is So Bad. I feel Sure it will work if Enough of the Roach Gel Is Used. Squeeze An Amount that is the Size of your Nail. Putting to Small of An Amount May Not be Enough for All those Roaches to Eat and Then Die. The Roaches will Not Die right After Eating the Gel but they will Have Trouble Walking and Clinging on to the Walls And Ceilings and Then they will Eventually Fall and Die. This May Take A Day or Two.
