    Can all of us clean people just band together and live amongst each other and let the gross people who don’t mind bugs and throw trash everywhere live together far away from us?? Us clean people shouldn’t have to deal with nasty bug/pest infestations because of others laziness and lack of cleanliness. Damn you deserve better girl.

    You don't even know how fate brought me to you. Kismet. I currently live in a medical facility (low grade nursing home)and I'm getting the opportunity to get out! After 5 years of this bs, I'm ready. Im already prepared to live in a place where management won't be bothered to fix the bug issues. I've read all the reviews on the apartment options I have. It really is just choosing the best of the worst. Having this video you made, it's in my save pile. I know what to get now. I just want to know if any of them have any type of obnoxious scents since it's all chemicals. I know you feel frustrated but you're doing so much for so many people, it's awesome. Thank you, SOOOOO SO MUCH!

      You are so welcome and I thank you right back! Congratulations on your opportunity too!!!!! As for the smells, none for diatomaceous powder or the home barrier spray but the spray makes me cough and sneeze a bit so I’d recommend wearing a face mask while spraying indoors and outdoors. 💚

    Girl! You are me and I am you. I live in a 6 unit apartment building and when I tell you I have had every plague you can imagine. For the first 4-5 years it was mice. Fixed that problem and then I had a water bug problem. Fixed that. This spring was ants smh. Each time, I go to war to fix the problem because I can’t rest…I have no peace with that kinda stuff going on and you should have peace in your home. Just an FYI, peppermint oil or eucalyptus oil helps deter insects and pests away too. Thank you for being so transparent. God is going to bless you abundantly and I can’t wait to see it come to pass❤.

    I’ve been off of work going on my 2nd week. My job had a cyber attack and it was bad all plants are down. The 1st week I was on it with cleaning etc. The 2nd week not so much. I had to set up unemployment for however long we will be off work. I need your energy and motivation. I like my house clean and spotless but being off this 2nd week has made me lazy. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice having a vacation and the weather has been great but just want to get back to my work schedule. I love your channel and look forward to see the videos. I pray to the good LORD above to bless you in a way you will soar above the trials and tribulations. That GOD will bless you with peace and rest! In JESUS name I pray 🙏 ❤ Sending hug’s your way!!!

    I have to say I lived the majority of my life in the projects in a major city and thankfully we didn’t have roaches and the fact that the garbage area looks like that is because some people are trifling,not everyone in the projects or low income areas are that way and most do take pride in their surroundings. That management company is taking advantage of the fact that people can’t afford much else,keep your head up girl

    Please be careful using any sprays inside your home. They can be very toxic to humans and pets. I believe it is only intended for outdoor use. Be well and may you win the battle against the bugs.

    Sis I applaud you. What also works great for roaches is the Orthene ant killer. But it stinks like SSA! I mixed that with diatomaceous earth and never saw them again. I also drilled some holes into the wall and puffed it inside the walls, sealed it back up and case closed. Yes I'm subbed to the channel. Keep on going.

    Where you put foam in the wood cracks get a wood stain as close to the color of the floor and stain the foam, the wall it looks yellow and the trim white. They have a paint app if you take a picture of the wall it will come up on the app. You definitely want your deposit back upon move out. Put in a maintenance request by paper/online. Remember this one advise to follow.."If its not in writing it never happened" It don't matter how many times a month you put in for them to spray put it in. Most of the time they only use gel in the cabinets. Ask them to spray both units since the one next door is empty . Sometimes when you speak to the maintenance and get to know them they will sometimes help by spraying more often as well as the unit next door.

    The blessing is that you have an empty apartment on one end so you are exterminating there place as well. They wont be running and hiding in things there because its empty. Roaches live in walls 🤢 they also eat each other so what you did was not in vain but the beginning of the end. So glas you treated yourself. I cant do roaches either and like yourself dont understand those who can. Id put a little of that powder (dust amount) behind the toilets, sink, stove and refrigerator. While no one is home airing it out after an hour. God willing you wont see any in your home again soon. 🤲🏽🦋
