Sweet lady, I'm pretty sure she has complained. This is causing her to be very upset. I hope she gets double her deposit and all the rent she has ever paid..
The Miles yea I think they are just being slum lords. She’s going to have to move and throw out a lot of her stuff so she doesn’t take any with her. Sad.
honesty I agree with Austin when I was living in the projects for 8 years of my childhood we had these rodents and its true the government doesn't really care about anyone who is poor and that is really makes me mad as fucking hell knowing their could be children or elderly with asthma or breathing problems if they do these rodents make it harder for these people to breathe and sometimes it could get so bad it can lead too brain damage; stroke/heart attack or even death why don't they tell people these things? because they are evil! and only care about money! I pray everyday GOD will make a better tomorrow
robert taylor not a good idea, because then they could evict her, I've been in a similar situation, not with bugs, but with construction workers that my apartment management hired to do renovations coming into the apartments when the residents weren't home and stealing. And it doesn't do any good to go to court, because the judge will almost always side with the landlord. She needs to talk to Legal Aid, get their advice on what she could or should do.
She needs a vacuum cleaner with a detachable hose to vacuum bugs up. And some bed bug spray, that kills them quick... Poor thing, maybe a can of gas and match stick would be quicker. SMH...
why would you not feel bad for a hoarder? the vast majority of them by definition have psychosis, severe depression or ocd. idk about you but i do feel bad for people with mental illness
@@egalo-medina6859 I don't think hoarders have OCD. The American Psychiatric Association says on their website "Hoarding disorder has a symptom profile, neural correlates, and associated features that differ from OCD and other disorders." But regardless, not everyone who hoards have a mental illness. Some people are extremely lazy. And unless I know a person's medical history, I'm not going to just assume they have a mental illness. So unless they are proven to have a LEGIT mental illness that make it extremely hard for them to clean up, I'm not going to feel bad for them. There are soldiers who watched their friend get blown up in war who still clean up their home and don't hoard, so depression isn't an excuse in my book. Being depressed might make you a bit messy, it shouldnt be to the point where there are mountains of trash in your apartment. That's just slothfulness.
The dangers of living in apartments/shared walls. Usually the roaches don't go away because a neighbor is filthy as hell and they're the ones creating the problem, so no matter how much you do you won't get rid of them. I'm always scared about that kind of thing whenever we move to a new place. I hope that she's gotten help since then, poor lady.
These slum lords don't want to do their jobs. I betcha if you're late on that damn rent they would come for you then. I've seen roaches in luxury apartments as well. Some neighbors are filthy as hell. They don't care about their places being clean. I feel for this woman ! Nobody should have to live in these conditions. Roaches are nasty!
Sarah Thomas I know exactly what you're talking about. I lived in my apartment for 9 years and this lady just moved under me. She's definitely a hoarder . I'm starting to see those small roaches that take over and invade houses.Over the span of 9 YEARS I have not had roaches until she moved in, I don't think that's a coincidence.
Sarah Thomas that’s why my apartment does tenant inspections every 6-12 months depending on how many years is on the lease. If you fail inspection you get 2 weeks to clean up and if not, you gotta eviction notice headed your way.
BassManBobBassCovers They will still be there even if it's clean if the building has an infestation then the roaches are just going to scatter throughout each apartment but they will still be there you can have roaches in a clean house unfortunately
It doesn't matter how clean the apartment is. If the neighbors have them she will always have them. I hope she is able to sue management so she can get the hell out of there. Slum Lord
Agreed! I wanna beat the manager and property owner ass so bad! So quick to ask for that rent, but go dead silent when they gotta do maintenance work around the property smh
You can move into an apartment with new furniture and be the cleanest person living there, but if the building is old and had been there for some years with different people living there, clean and dirty, where do you think the roaches go when those people move out? Some crawl into their belongings while the others hide in the wall and wait for the next person to move in. THEY LIVE IN THE WALL, It's their apartment, you're just a guest.
Lived through one of these with my mom, we'd live in an apartment chock-full of roaches, we'd call it "Raining Roaches" because roaches would crawl on the ceiling and fall onto us. We had complained, they considered the apartment condemned, but didnt vacate us to a new unit, instead, they evicted us. But its all good, we got a nice, roachless home. 😁
I feel her pain, having to live around these little shits is already a nightmare. But 24/7 in your face, can't imagine it. Hope she was able to move some place bug-free.
BlueGreyWolf Let's just hope a few of those bugs don't follow her to her new place. She needs to make sure she washes all her clothes, and seal all her belongings after she makes sure they are thouroghly clean. Don't want to carry the eggs with her to her new place.
Having a lot of roaches is really bad.. they poop everywhere and they smell. You have to keep food covered 24/7 and wash dishes before using them. You have to throw everything away when moving. Eggs are everywhere, cockroaches all around. Ahhh
fuck roaches I'm always having to shower my cat a few weeks to try and eradicate the flea survivors in it because emu cat is a street cat and it gets dirty pretty quick out
I have been in this situation before with an apartment complex. You start to feel really depressed. There's nothing you can do. Doesn't matter how clean or contained everything is. When you spray or bomb they just hideout in another apartment and come back later.
This is sad to see her going through that. Hope she's better. We were in a situation that was going south fast. One tenant refused to do anything and it was infesting the WHOLE building 12 apartments/single building. We tenants had to work together to get them (dirty tenants) moved out and then EVERYBODY had to schedule at the SAME TIME. We kept complaining and syncing our extermination schedule.

Them coming back is what I am afraid of. I live in a 54 apt building. Others had roaches then i saw 5 babies and kne adult. Elderly so i told land lord finally they had my apt sprayed. I got spray traps roach motels put all food in ice box and in glass containers with lids havent seen any more. Trust me I'm looking but a friend who is moving across the hall from me soon said she doesnt want my friendship any more. My apt is clean always has been but she doesnt want anything to do with me. I told her shes moving across hall from me the guy upstairs had first roaches above her apt so she shouldnt b so mean but i lost a friend cause i got roaches. I got right on it dont have friends dont have roaches either lol
this comment is old but they why you have use bait traps. that way they take the bait to next apartment and kill the nest in the next one. spray only kills the ones you can see. foggers may not get the nest.
I lived in a motel for 6 months with this issue. At night there could be 200 roaches in a cluster on the ceiling near the sink! They crawled into the bed and into my hair. In the microwave and lived after it was turned on! Mini refrigerator was a happy place for them! Manager said to buy insecticides and spray every day....cheap rent but it definitely was not healthy. Neighbors told me to not call city because they would shut down the place and they'd not have a place to live. Holbrook, Arizona!!! Suffered alot mentally....imagine opening your eyes during the night and having one looking right at you! I moved, finally after saving up for new deposits.
I feel so bad for laughing when she said she was shaking but when she cried I got sad because roaches anit no joke even if you keep your house clean if the building is infested they won't leave
BORIC ACID!!! I lived in an apartment just like this back in the 80's. I tried sprays, the roach motel, everything...nothing ever worked. A friend recommended putting boric acid in just a few key areas and corners around the kitchen. I threw out EVERYTHING, put the boric acid around and went on a week's vacation. Came back and found hundreds of dead roaches, didn't see not one live one. Cleaned up everything and that was the END of my roach problem. I NEVER saw another roach again. CAUTION: It is very potent stuff, so do NOT allow one drop to spill on your dishes or food! Read directions carefully and keep away from children!
Lil Birdie I have heard of boric acid too! I suspect bugs coming in under my entrance door(apartments yes!)... I have placed boric outside the door..... but the maintenance crew uses leaf blowers to clean the lot! Blowing all my treatment away! Rendering my treatment/bug barrier?? Useless!!! Lol ikr! Gonna have to move eventually?! U can be clean & your neighbors nastiness still overwhelms you lol smh!
Boric acid powder got rid of a roach infestation I had when I lived in an apartment. Had a loaner fridge that was delivered until the new one arrived. Had roach nest in the back. Boric acid got rid of infestation in one week. And it's not potent enough to kill a child unless they eat a cup full. I don't know where you heard that from.
When I moved into my shitty apartment, them roaches would look at you judge you and continue walking along. Took six months for the roaches to actually take notice and run and take cover of my big can of Raid. I kept my crappy apartment clean and to almost no food. (Roaches would come to starve here.) But been a year and I hardly see them. Shitty complex maintenance sucked landlord didn't care and yet they quick to ask for late rent . .
There should be some sort of slumlord law in place to protect tenants from any lawsuits from shitty landlords that want to sue and steal deposit money when a tenant wants to move due to slum like conditions and tenant neglect.
I know exactly how she feels. We lived an an apartment years back and our apartment had roaches. I would clean and clean and spray. Still would get them everywhere. Finally we hear a knock on the door and it was the exterminator. He told us the apartment next door to us was infested with roaches and the roaches were coming over to our side. We ended up leaving. Thank God.
I know exactly how she feels. I used to live in apartments filled with roaches..... It was fuckin aggravating. Those things will find a way to get into EVERYTHING. I was relieved when I moved out.... Haven't dealt with them for 10 years now... This woman deserves help.
It seems like most apartments either higher scummy or incompetent exterminators who spray for roaches(doesn’t work and usually builds the roaches immunity to the poison) or the tenants are just slobs and don’t get evicted, allowing the infestation to spread throughout the buildings
Use diamethicus earth a very light dusting of it will kill any bug. It dries them out and they die. It is food grade and safe for people and pets. Light dusting so they walk through it and not around it. My grandma had them horrible 2 weeks later all gone. I use it and never have any type if bugs. My neighbor across the street had roaches and bed bugs horribly and I gave them a bucket of it and they are bug free. It's less than $20 for a bucket on Amazon and will last you years. They also sell the dusters which is a must to get a light dusting. After you get rid of them always some under appliances and along baseboards and you will never have bugs again.
That is exactly what our apartment looked like for almost 20 years, and management never did anything about it. My mom would deep clean everything regularly, but they would always appear. There wasn't a spot in our house where they didn't accumulate and I watched her slowly give up because nothing could get rid of them. It was really depressing, I even got scolded once for leaving a plate of food out while my parent's friends were over and cockroaches started eating away at it 5 minutes later.
I've dealt with roaches at a previous apartment as well and it's absolutely horrible you could have the place very clean and they still will come out of nowhere
Abel Cerrillo that would make things worse. She wouldn't get a deposit back, and it would make it nearly impossible to rent again because of the broken contract. It's not as easy as you might think.
Did she get help? Did the news channel help her? What was even done! I'm about to cry right now and I'm so pissed! Beautiful sweet grandma doesn't deserve that crap! Shut those apartments down!
Our apartment is the same thing. The piece of shit manager knows and he just raised rent up. It's absurd, we plan on moving because our manager is just that awful at handling it.
I Draig I boric acid mix it with peanut butter n sugar andd the yellow of an egg...mix it until it is like peanut butter cookies...place pieces of it in key areas like under sink cabinet...behind fridge..everywhere ..they will be dead in a week or two...
Sophia: same one time we had rats in our apartment we told our manager he did nothing we told him we were getting bug bites from some strange bug he did nothing
If she was my grandma I would just have her come to live with me, why isn't her family stepping in either...they just gonna let her keep being there...
If a landlord is unwilling to get rid of them, it's grounds to sue and/or break the lease.If she doesn't have the money to sue, one call to the city/town/county/state building inspector's office will light a fire under the landlord real fast. Contacting the city, town, county or state is free They can declare the property legally uninhabitable, unfit for human habitation or whatever her state calls it and make them fix the problems Landlord could then be fined x amount daily until the problem is solved, given x amount of time to fix the problem or face fines, forfeiture, imprisonment or all of the above. They can also be forced to provide alternative housing until the problem is resolved or be ordered to terminate the lease and refund if it remains uninhabitable
I won’t be paying anything I would actually leave then sue the apartment building this is gross unacceptable and devastating to watch this sweet elderly lady go through this
Id move out asap.if one apartment has them and they move out..the roaches infest the neighbors..it happened to me but i broke my lease and left.also beware when buying used tvs or electronics from a person. The roaches may come in like trojans lol
I got rid of my Cockroaches using a product I bought off Ebay for $50 (Australian) called MaxForce Fusion by Bayer and Boric Acid, its been 2 years and they haven't come back.
I had an infestation because of a neighbor about 4 years ago. My husband had to caulk all the cracks and open spaces in the apartment, we bombed the place, then laid out boric acid and roach motels. It took a few months, but we got rid of them in the apartment. That was also the year we moved tf out and just had to be careful about what we took with us.
yeah so true otherwise they just keep breeding, I don't know how it is in Florida but in Sydney Australia they are just crazy taking over, its hard to go out at night to a restaurant because of all the nasties.
Richard Kennedy It's definitely similar to Florida, then. During the heart of the summer, flying roaches (most Floridians call them 'palmetto bugs') and mosquitos swarm some areas. They'll find their way into everything that has a door - vehicles, homes, businesses, etc. - if you don't get in or out quickly enough. It's gross, but I've been here my whole life, so I'm used to it. 😅
That’s how cockroaches turn your life upside down. Been there done that, we signed the lease once didn’t know the place had roaches problems. Until first night they pouring out of their nest yuck. We mentioned to report to business bureau and broke the lease after that.
CHILD I FEEL HER PAIN...just 2weeks ago I was dealing wit da same problem, until I sealed up every hole in kitchen, bath and closed da vents then I raid bombed da place. Problem solved.
Mix boric acid and sugar put it around the boarders and corners of the floor. Get roach hotels and push them under the fridge, stove, and in the back of the cabinets. Lastly spray Home defense around the windows and doors inside and out. Put a little boric acid and sugar mixed along the outside of the front door and on the bottom of the walls next to the front door. They'll be gone. Also put covers over any sockets that aren't being used, take trash out daily, and sweep up any crumbs.
Most roaches will not eat sugar based baits anymore since they have evolved to know that most baits contain sugar! Best way to kill them is with advion bait and gentrol Insect growth regulator! 50$ for the two products and you get enough advion bait to treat a 3000 sq feet! Sugar based bait will only work for wild roaches such as outside water bugs not house roaches especially not german roaches they wont touch that sugar at all but the advion they will eat it right out of your hand and fight to the death for a dab of it that how much they love to eat that bait !
IGOLUUNEY Advion Cockroach Bait and boric acid reslly really works. No sugar in the boric acid needed as the gel attracts them. In a few weeks NOTHING.
this kills me to see! I used to live in an apartment that was infested with roaches, it was recently fumigated too. Eventually my family moved. Poor lady, I know exactly how she feels.
John Roberts I would not be surprised if some of the roaches are nesting underneath the carpeting on the steps and in the hallways outside the apartment. After people walk in with wet shoes and boots in the winter the carpeting gets moist and stays damp providing a very good habitat for the roaches.
Something that really worked 4 me that got rid of ALL the roaches and haven't seen 1 in years is the Syngenta Advion Cockroach Killer / Roach Gel Bait (AMAZON) and COMBAT Source Max Roach Killing Gel (WALMART). In telling u in less than a week u will only see roaches dead. Amazing products.
Now this is a legitimate reason to start a go fund me page. To help her move,and to buy everything new. She seems like a sweet lady,that has lived long enough to have nothing but peace in her life. We really need to do better in looking out for our seniors. That management company is lying about her not calling them. How disrespectful. They are calling her a lyer. Why would she call the news before giving them a chance to fix the problem.
Thats so sad because if the roaches & eggs are not exterminated properly from her personal belongings begore she moves the roaches will just set up home to her new apartment.
Unfortunately, family can't always afford to move family, no matter how much we may want to, and don't always have the space or ability to move them in with you. 😟 The best we can do sometimes is help them keep their place up and fight the battle alongside them.
She didn’t seem like the cleanest but I’m sure she wasn’t the nastiest in her building either. Being in Property Management, I’ve learned that people don’t know how to properly clean that well... The building, the neighbors, management, and this tenant all play a role unfortunately.
Wtf??? She shouldn't have to live like this. What a disgrace. Landlord should pay for her move, and pay to have brand new furniture and so forth on her move. 😡
Apartment complex don’t even care about her situation as long as they keep getting that monthly rent 😡so sad to see people her age dealing with situation like that
Damn. I feel for her because I had to deal with a roach infested house as a kid. I'd lose my appetite whenever I saw one crawling nearby so I developed an eating disorder in a way. It should be illegal to rent places out if you know it's infested with roaches.
I feel bad for her. I have been in that situation myself. Lived at a place no problems, then suddenly roaches all over the place. Nothing worked, and the stuff they sprayed, only made the roaches breed MORE. I moved and ended up taking some with me to the place I am in now. I did end up killing the nasty things but it took another year and a half. Lucky they were only in my kitchen in the new place. I still wake up sometimes thinking they are crawling on me in the night.
If the whole apartment complex is infested, it needs to be treated. Not just once, but several times. If they spray just one apartment, they'll keep coming back. I feel bad for her! And anyone living in conditions like that. It's very dangerous to your health. Roaches crawl up into electronics so be aware of that too. Bleach the kitchen & bathrooms every night before you go to bed. Never leave food sitting out. I hope she is living in a roach free home now
That's sad man. She's too old to be dealing with something like that.

Apartments in this country need better everything
Not if she just leaves everything
honesty I agree with Austin
when I was living in the projects for 8 years of my childhood we had these rodents
and its true the government doesn't really care about anyone who is poor
and that is really makes me mad as fucking hell knowing their could be children or elderly
with asthma or breathing problems
if they do these rodents make it harder for these people to breathe
and sometimes it could get so bad it can lead too brain damage; stroke/heart attack or even death
why don't they tell people these things? because they are evil! and only care about money!
I pray everyday GOD will make a better tomorrow

Yes, put the rent in an account until the problem is solved. This dear lady breaks my heart. Someone move your grandma...😐

This is sad to see her going through that. Hope she's better.
We were in a situation that was going south fast. One tenant refused to do anything and it was infesting the WHOLE building 12 apartments/single building.
We tenants had to work together to get them (dirty tenants) moved out and then EVERYBODY had to schedule at the SAME TIME. We kept complaining and syncing our extermination schedule.

Trust me I'm looking but a friend who is moving across the hall from me soon said she doesnt want my friendship any more. My apt is clean always has been but she doesnt want anything to do with me. I told her shes moving across hall from me the guy upstairs had first roaches above her apt so she shouldnt b so mean but i lost a friend cause i got roaches. I got right on it dont have friends dont have roaches either lol
this comment is old but they why you have use bait traps. that way they take the bait to next apartment and kill the nest in the next one. spray only kills the ones you can see. foggers may not get the nest.
@@alysmari3956 Tenants' union is a great strategy!
I know this video is old, but I hope she moved to someplace better.
Me 2. I hope she's ok now
I lived in a motel for 6 months with this issue. At night there could be 200 roaches in a cluster on the ceiling near the sink! They crawled into the bed and into my hair. In the microwave and lived after it was turned on! Mini refrigerator was a happy place for them! Manager said to buy insecticides and spray every day....cheap rent but it definitely was not healthy. Neighbors told me to not call city because they would shut down the place and they'd not have a place to live. Holbrook, Arizona!!! Suffered alot mentally....imagine opening your eyes during the night and having one looking right at you! I moved, finally after saving up for new deposits.
I feel so bad for laughing when she said she was shaking but when she cried I got sad because roaches anit no joke even if you keep your house clean if the building is infested they won't leave
Samantha Davis same 😂😔
I was wondering what you thought was funny? Hummmm.... Smh
Samantha Davis i laughed too and I felt bad,it was just how she said it.
Why would you laugh... smh
BORIC ACID!!! I lived in an apartment just like this back in the 80's.
I tried sprays, the roach motel, everything...nothing ever worked. A friend recommended putting boric acid in just a few key areas and corners around the kitchen. I threw out EVERYTHING, put the boric acid around and went on a week's vacation. Came back and found hundreds of dead roaches, didn't see not one live one. Cleaned up everything and that was the END of my roach problem. I NEVER saw another roach again. CAUTION: It is very potent stuff, so do NOT allow one drop to spill on your dishes or food! Read directions carefully and keep away from children!
Lil Birdie I have heard of boric acid too! I suspect bugs coming in under my entrance door(apartments yes!)...
I have placed boric outside the door..... but the maintenance crew uses leaf blowers to clean the lot!
Blowing all my treatment away! Rendering my treatment/bug barrier?? Useless!!! Lol ikr! Gonna have to move eventually?!
U can be clean & your neighbors nastiness still overwhelms you lol smh!
Lil Birdie used boric when i moved to Tampa it was temporarily momentarily as the Roaches come back
You cant get rid of the problem with just 1 apartment. The entire building needs multiple exterminations.
Boric acid powder got rid of a roach infestation I had when I lived in an apartment. Had a loaner fridge that was delivered until the new one arrived. Had roach nest in the back. Boric acid got rid of infestation in one week. And it's not potent enough to kill a child unless they eat a cup full. I don't know where you heard that from.
It depends on the boric acid, you need more than that in alot of cases... 🙄 burn the bitch down shit. Ewwwwwwww 😵
This was 2016, has the apartment complex been revisited since this? We need to start holding property management and owners accountable.
If she was my mom or close relative I would take her in..leave everything' in that apt and start over..where is her family??
Right, I was wondering where her family is too. Her age is pretty up there
When I moved into my shitty apartment, them roaches would look at you judge you and continue walking along. Took six months for the roaches to actually take notice and run and take cover of my big can of Raid. I kept my crappy apartment clean and to almost no food. (Roaches would come to starve here.) But been a year and I hardly see them. Shitty complex maintenance sucked landlord didn't care and yet they quick to ask for late rent . .
CoffeeSpiller Pluto bofl 😂
Already!!!!
CoffeeSpiller Pluto The roaches judge you😂😂😂😂
💀😂😂
There should be some sort of slumlord law in place to protect tenants from any lawsuits from shitty landlords that want to sue and steal deposit money when a tenant wants to move due to slum like conditions and tenant neglect.
Poor lady!! Come on some one help her.. I wish I could
Perv
carmela rogers pervertido too
Brian The Explorer lol true
I know exactly how she feels. We lived an an apartment years back and our apartment had roaches. I would clean and clean and spray. Still would get them everywhere. Finally we hear a knock on the door and it was the exterminator. He told us the apartment next door to us was infested with roaches and the roaches were coming over to our side. We ended up leaving. Thank God.
In cases where the infestation is real bad you might have to leave if the roaches invaded the whole apartment building.
@@macywood4619 I know what you mean! "Some of my neighbors are so nasty!! 🤢
Poor lady. I hope she’s able to move. She’s too old to be dealing which such a situation
The building is old, the roaches live in the wall.
I know exactly how she feels. I used to live in apartments filled with roaches..... It was fuckin aggravating. Those things will find a way to get into EVERYTHING. I was relieved when I moved out.... Haven't dealt with them for 10 years now... This woman deserves help.
It seems like most apartments either higher scummy or incompetent exterminators who spray for roaches(doesn’t work and usually builds the roaches immunity to the poison) or the tenants are just slobs and don’t get evicted, allowing the infestation to spread throughout the buildings
This poor lady...I'm dealing with a problem but it's not to this point yet. I feel so bad for her...I want to give her a hug 💔
Use diamethicus earth a very light dusting of it will kill any bug. It dries them out and they die. It is food grade and safe for people and pets. Light dusting so they walk through it and not around it. My grandma had them horrible 2 weeks later all gone. I use it and never have any type if bugs. My neighbor across the street had roaches and bed bugs horribly and I gave them a bucket of it and they are bug free. It's less than $20 for a bucket on Amazon and will last you years. They also sell the dusters which is a must to get a light dusting. After you get rid of them always some under appliances and along baseboards and you will never have bugs again.
@@jenniferrb3665 im using it and nothing is dead! It doesn't work
At her age she shouldn't have to live like that poor woman hope she gets help.
This is like the entire city heights and north park area. All the landlords are slum lords there.
richbunny1 i have the same problem
I used to live on 48th and university, it was called East San Diego back then, it didn't even seem like America. Glad I moved!
That is exactly what our apartment looked like for almost 20 years, and management never did anything about it. My mom would deep clean everything regularly, but they would always appear. There wasn't a spot in our house where they didn't accumulate and I watched her slowly give up because nothing could get rid of them. It was really depressing, I even got scolded once for leaving a plate of food out while my parent's friends were over and cockroaches started eating away at it 5 minutes later.
20 years??! Why didn’t she move? I know moving is expensive, no judgement. But 20 years?
I've dealt with roaches at a previous apartment as well and it's absolutely horrible you could have the place very clean and they still will come out of nowhere
great grandma? where all her family for help
She black homie, they ain't like Raza.

don't pay ur rent
Abel Cerrillo
you don't lease do you?don't pay rent means you get put out.
+Tammy Ryder they need to charge the roaches rent....
Abel Cerrillo that would make things worse. She wouldn't get a deposit back, and it would make it nearly impossible to rent again because of the broken contract. It's not as easy as you might think.
Right
If she don't pay her rent she going to get put out and who's the say she got family or have some where to go
My cousin had like SO MANY cockroaches at night and one time I slept and a huge cockroach was on my neck
Thank God they moved out
Did she get help? Did the news channel help her? What was even done! I'm about to cry right now and I'm so pissed! Beautiful sweet grandma doesn't deserve that crap! Shut those apartments down!
THANKS your compassion is great. Many are to busy or ignorant to care...
Was she ever helped?
If she's on TV then most likely
Our apartment is the same thing. The piece of shit manager knows and he just raised rent up. It's absurd, we plan on moving because our manager is just that awful at handling it.
I Draig I WHEN you move they'll give you a big bogus lie of judgements hendering you to rent another roachy Florida apt..
Same
I Draig I boric acid mix it with peanut butter n sugar andd the yellow of an egg...mix it until it is like peanut butter cookies...place pieces of it in key areas like under sink cabinet...behind fridge..everywhere ..they will be dead in a week or two...
Sophia: same one time we had rats in our apartment we told our manager he did nothing we told him we were getting bug bites from some strange bug he did nothing
If she was my grandma I would just have her come to live with me, why isn't her family stepping in either...they just gonna let her keep being there...
My exact thoughts. The family is the real slum for letting her even live in those condition
Either old or young nice or mean no one should live like this especially if you are paying for a that roof under your head
If a landlord is unwilling to get rid of them, it's grounds to sue and/or break the lease.If she doesn't have the money to sue, one call to the city/town/county/state building inspector's office will light a fire under the landlord real fast. Contacting the city, town, county or state is free
They can declare the property legally uninhabitable, unfit for human habitation or whatever her state calls it and make them fix the problems
Landlord could then be fined x amount daily until the problem is solved, given x amount of time to fix the problem or face fines, forfeiture, imprisonment or all of the above.
They can also be forced to provide alternative housing until the problem is resolved or be ordered to terminate the lease and refund if it remains uninhabitable
"Than I'm up again and I'm knocking and shaking... pants again"

yall fucked up for that *laughing *
"Bayer gel" for roaches is the only way I"ve found to quickly eliminate them. Spraying only kills a few of them.
Beware baygon is toxic, my son was poison too...
I'm going threw the same thing and I cry everyday
Granny got da roach shakes that's sad slum lords should be ashame of their self she can't enjoy the rest of her life it's a night mare

I won’t be paying anything I would actually leave then sue the apartment building this is gross unacceptable and devastating to watch this sweet elderly lady go through this
Id move out asap.if one apartment has them and they move out..the roaches infest the neighbors..it happened to me but i broke my lease and left.also beware when buying used tvs or electronics from a person. The roaches may come in like trojans lol
I got rid of my Cockroaches using a product I bought off Ebay for $50 (Australian) called MaxForce Fusion by Bayer and Boric Acid, its been 2 years and they haven't come back.
lol pretty lucky getting rid of roaches sure, You just gotta create an environment that the cockroaches aren't comfortable living in.
I heard someone else talk about this. They used it to help a family member and they never saw roaches again...ever
I had an infestation because of a neighbor about 4 years ago. My husband had to caulk all the cracks and open spaces in the apartment, we bombed the place, then laid out boric acid and roach motels. It took a few months, but we got rid of them in the apartment. That was also the year we moved tf out and just had to be careful about what we took with us.
yeah so true otherwise they just keep breeding, I don't know how it is in Florida but in Sydney Australia they are just crazy taking over, its hard to go out at night to a restaurant because of all the nasties.
Richard Kennedy It's definitely similar to Florida, then. During the heart of the summer, flying roaches (most Floridians call them 'palmetto bugs') and mosquitos swarm some areas. They'll find their way into everything that has a door - vehicles, homes, businesses, etc. - if you don't get in or out quickly enough. It's gross, but I've been here my whole life, so I'm used to it. 😅
"Everything in there I got to wrap up"
As there's a open bowl with food in it 😂
CONTAGIOUS MIA glad I’m not the only one who noticed that! 🤣
That’s how cockroaches turn your life upside down. Been there done that, we signed the lease once didn’t know the place had roaches problems. Until first night they pouring out of their nest yuck. We mentioned to report to business bureau and broke the lease after that.
CHILD I FEEL HER PAIN...just 2weeks ago I was dealing wit da same problem, until I sealed up every hole in kitchen, bath and closed da vents then I raid bombed da place. Problem solved.
renee Mitchell watch for more there eggs can live threw spraying and bombing for upwards of 6 months. It might take a few times.
No one should have to live in conditions like that
Awwww 😥😥😥.... where’s her family? Smh. I hate to see seniors mistreated
I've seen and lived in worse but not at that age.
Sucks to live like that when you're a great-grandma.
I feel for this woman. So sad.
Mix boric acid and sugar put it around the boarders and corners of the floor. Get roach hotels and push them under the fridge, stove, and in the back of the cabinets. Lastly spray Home defense around the windows and doors inside and out. Put a little boric acid and sugar mixed along the outside of the front door and on the bottom of the walls next to the front door. They'll be gone. Also put covers over any sockets that aren't being used, take trash out daily, and sweep up any crumbs.
Most roaches will not eat sugar based baits anymore since they have evolved to know that most baits contain sugar! Best way to kill them is with advion bait and gentrol Insect growth regulator! 50$ for the two products and you get enough advion bait to treat a 3000 sq feet! Sugar based bait will only work for wild roaches such as outside water bugs not house roaches especially not german roaches they wont touch that sugar at all but the advion they will eat it right out of your hand and fight to the death for a dab of it that how much they love to eat that bait !
IGOLUUNEY Advion Cockroach Bait and boric acid reslly really works. No sugar in the boric acid needed as the gel attracts them. In a few weeks NOTHING.
@@tonibackus1438I am trying advion right now
At two weeks I am still seeing roaches unfortunately
this kills me to see! I used to live in an apartment that was infested with roaches, it was recently fumigated too. Eventually my family moved. Poor lady, I know exactly how she feels.
I know this is from 6yrs ago BUT I TRULY hope she made it through this mess 🥺
Bomb the place! *Bug bomb that is
Lovnlace they did
John Roberts
I would not be surprised if some of the roaches are nesting underneath the carpeting on the steps and in the hallways outside the apartment. After people walk in with wet shoes and boots in the winter the carpeting gets moist and stays damp providing a very good habitat for the roaches.
Lovnlace Nuke the fucking town lmao.
Lovnlace naah she need one of them al-Qaeda bombs lol
Lovnlace if they bomb the place they won’t die they can survive even a nuke
Something that really worked 4 me that got rid of ALL the roaches and haven't seen 1 in years is the Syngenta Advion Cockroach Killer / Roach Gel Bait (AMAZON) and COMBAT Source Max Roach Killing Gel (WALMART). In telling u in less than a week u will only see roaches dead. Amazing products.
Now this is a legitimate reason to start a go fund me page. To help her move,and to buy everything new. She seems like a sweet lady,that has lived long enough to have nothing but peace in her life. We really need to do better in looking out for our seniors. That management company is lying about her not calling them. How disrespectful. They are calling her a lyer. Why would she call the news before giving them a chance to fix the problem.
Poor lady It broke my heart when she started tearing up
ROACHES ARE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!
Thats so sad because if the roaches & eggs are not exterminated properly from her personal belongings begore she moves the roaches will just set up home to her new apartment.
She is pretty clean. There is probably another tenant that is not. The roaches will keep coming till the whole building is fumigated
Oh my gosh 😞 seeing her this fed up and hurt and nobody is gonna help her??? My heart is broken. She cant even eat or sleep in peace.
The tenant must be a freemason to be able to get away with this. Somebody call an ORKIN MAN
But were is her family to get her out smh
Unfortunately, family can't always afford to move family, no matter how much we may want to, and don't always have the space or ability to move them in with you. 😟 The best we can do sometimes is help them keep their place up and fight the battle alongside them.
Yup I'd have to max a few cards out for G'ma ❤
That’s American culture we forget about are elderly, we disown are children at 18 as well.
JoJoM92 sad to say but ppl don’t like to deal with grandmas or their older family members
She didn’t seem like the cleanest but I’m sure she wasn’t the nastiest in her building either. Being in Property Management, I’ve learned that people don’t know how to properly clean that well... The building, the neighbors, management, and this tenant all play a role unfortunately.
Wtf??? She shouldn't have to live like this. What a disgrace. Landlord should pay for her move, and pay to have brand new furniture and so forth on her move. 😡
Poor woman :(
EWWWWWW!!
Me when I see a roach: MOMMY!!🤢😷 Awww no older lady should have to worry about this every single day.
Apartment complex don’t even care about her situation as long as they keep getting that monthly rent 😡so sad to see people her age dealing with situation like that
It’s actually possible to have roaches w/o being nasty… wish I could adopt her
Throw everything away and move her into a stable home. This is health alarming.
Easy said then done.
They shouldn't rent out apartments with bugs
Natalie C Maybe she can’t afford another place....
Damn. I feel for her because I had to deal with a roach infested house as a kid. I'd lose my appetite whenever I saw one crawling nearby so I developed an eating disorder in a way. It should be illegal to rent places out if you know it's infested with roaches.
I feel bad for her. I have been in that situation myself. Lived at a place no problems, then suddenly roaches all over the place. Nothing worked, and the stuff they sprayed, only made the roaches breed MORE. I moved and ended up taking some with me to the place I am in now. I did end up killing the nasty things but it took another year and a half. Lucky they were only in my kitchen in the new place. I still wake up sometimes thinking they are crawling on me in the night.
That’s terrible!
is there any update as to stupid landlord taking care of this? Poor woman.. :(
If the whole apartment complex is infested, it needs to be treated. Not just once, but several times. If they spray just one apartment, they'll keep coming back. I feel bad for her! And anyone living in conditions like that. It's very dangerous to your health. Roaches crawl up into electronics so be aware of that too. Bleach the kitchen & bathrooms every night before you go to bed. Never leave food sitting out. I hope she is living in a roach free home now
I feel sorry for her of what she had to live in🤧.
Ain’t no way I would do that interview. I would have called off.
Slumlord for sure😥
I would take tha owner to court ..wtf .... that's way too much !
Boric Acid spread around the perimeter of her home, window sills would definitely help. It's amazingly cheap to buy and non-toxic. Best luck!
It’s hard in an apartment because you can be pretty sure your neighbors aren’t too clean.
