Sweetie, I love how you go the extra mile to make sure you and your family live as comfortable as possible in your temporary situation. Remembe God helps those who help themselves and trust and believe your blessings are on the way🙏🏽
Brilliant vent idea! I do not live in the projects and I have nasty neighbors! Last year, we had a mice infestation. OMG! They were in my car. I cleaned, cleaned again, donated, cleaned again and still cleaning! I feel like I am on constant watch now! I have neighbors with garages FILLED with junk and the mice and lawdy only knows what else are loving it! You are doing a great job Mama!
Hey just a little tip for battling with these roaches. If you mix the roach poison with vaseline and use it as a paste for the outside doorways it sticks and powder won't blow away in the wind and also it sticks to the roaches and they would take it back to the nest. The other tip is pour some of the power down the sink holes at night and plug the sink holes. Roaches crawl up the drain holes when its dry overnight.
I remember living in an apartment building that wasn’t even the projects but the lady underneath me was a hoarder. I had to bomb my apartment and I used the roach gel in the corner of my cabinets and I also put a door stopper thing in front my door because one day I seen a roach in the hallway trying to come under my door. I also left boric acid in the corners. It helped and I moved in a year…hold on ..keep praying and trust God.
You need to get some boric acid. Put it around baseboards, behind appliances, under appliances and beds. Cover the perimeters of your home. Also clean everything and mop with bleach and pinesol alternately everyday. It's a lot of work but you can and will get rid of the bugs. God bless. ❤
I was gonna say use boric acid, you can add water to it and make little balls out of it, about the size of a penny and put under appliances so it's not so messy, that's what my mom did when we lived in the projects, boric acid works better than anything❤❤❤ great job btw!
You really hit the nail on the head when you said the thumbnails of some of these videos are so fake and misleading!!!!! Thank you so much for confirming that!!!!! I am very much attracted to your videos because you keep it real!!!!! Very motivational 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. And the best of luck to you and your family in your future endeavors🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your videos have been the realest. I’ve seen regarding the “projects” everyone else has been lying for click bait. Your home is nice. I always say you take care of the little the Lord has blessed you with and He will bless you with more in time. 🙏🏾❤️ Just wait Queen 👑for all that’s in store💯
I appreciate you telling me that, you are not the first! Thank you so much for your compliment as well and I agree and believe in everything you así too 💚💚💚
I moved in my Rad section 8 apartment in NYC and when I tell you I cried last year. I live right by the garbage chute and on top of where they do the garbage. I was seeing roaches. I was ready to give up. With the help of the exterminator and using diatomaceous earth and ortho fire ant killer. It’s better. My new dilemma is the mice in the walls 😅. NYC has a problem for real With rats and mice but thankfully they haven’t entered my apartment yet and I keep food stored away. I’m praying that I can either afford to move upstate NY or one of the tax credit apartments I applied for. I’m trying to think about how someone else would love my blessing and problems right now
Wooo! Girl I know it is haaarrrrdddd to be grateful when you are feeling miserable but find that gratitude girl, find ways to just be in a grateful space-gospel music helps me a lot!! Then from there sit still and just breathe, shut the world out and meditate and when you feel disconnected start talking to GOD in your mind and ask for what you want DON'T BEG!!! And when you open your eyes start forcing yourself to believe its going to happen for you (don't ask no more!) and watch your faith move you to work hard and bring you what you asked for effortlessly!! We both can get out of our current circumstances!!! Love you girl!
Respectfully, you cannot cook because the water is coming out a different direction? Baby girl, I think of all the changes I went through in very much the same situation when I was young. You got this! The roaches, I get it. Be careful how you complain and speak out negativity. I know you are grateful, please remember to keep that part up front. You got this young lady! Work with what you got and speak out positive things and watch God work. ❤
Single mom like you sis Frfr in projects my self and it’s the worst 😢❤ only been here for a year and it’s the worst . Costly roaches in this building, constantly people doing drugs in the hallways the stairways pissing trash I could constantly relate with you for real for real. I’m tired, but God has it so keep your strength. We both gonna get our kids out of here. ❤🙌🫂
YES WE WILL!!! 🙏🏾💚💚💪🏾 I felt it in my soul when you said “I’m tired”… woooo! It will be 2 years for me in a couple of months We won’t be here forever. Sending love to you girl 🥰 Thank you!
You are very articulate. I pray for your season of growth and prosperity. When I lived in an apartment complex I used combat gel and I also put it around my outside windows, doors and near my vents. I also purchased covers for my drains. It did help. This is only a stepping stone that's going to propel you to greener pastures!!
I’m so tired of the property management slumlords. That’s stress you shouldn’t have, it’s bs and makes me so mad for you. You’re a strong lady, I was a single mom too. Your an inspiration for sure!
That’s why I stopped years ago putting my dishes and utensils in the cabinet and drawers. I was gifted a rack and a small armoire I used the armoire for my dishes and utensils and I used the rack for my microwave, pots/ pans, air fryer. I brought a small cart with wheels where I placed my seasonings and spices. I brought roach spray and boric acid put it on the base boards around the whole apartment in each room.
I texted you recently regarding what to use to get rid of the pest problem. I just looked at the correct name of the product I told you about. The product name is: Ortho Home Defence - 12 month protection in a trigger spray. Kills all bugs. The owner of the apartment complex should be concerned about the Health Department getting involved. Roaches carry diseases. I pray everything goes well for you and your family. L.Coggs
Yes, this video was recorded before your comment. I promise I'm not being hardheaded 💚 I'm working on everyone's suggestions now and will upload that content soon.
Yes Ortho Home Defense is wonderful. After moving n2 my hse I noticed a heavy infestation of ants and silver fish. I tried a self made concoction of boric acid and sugar to attract them and I also used the Ortho. W/ the Ortho I sprayed the outside perimeter all around the foundation, around the windows, and doors. All throughout the basement and all throughout the house including along every baseboard, inside the closets and inside all air vents. I noticed no bugs @ all after 2 weeks and I do this every 12 months @ the beginning of spring.
Save every penny you can. I lived in rented places most of my life. I own my own home now. Not a big place but it is mine. I am elderly now. I learned to save. Dave Ramsey is a good thing to follow. I lived in lots of apt that had bug problems. I sprayed all the time. I hardly had them. I clear chalked all my outside cabinets edges. I sprayed all my doors around the outside trim, windows, vents, monthly at first then every six months. Inside and out. I sprayed all base boards once a month. People would ask how come you do not have bugs. Door sweep needs to be looked at and replaced if needed. Window felting where the edges are.
Holy cow girl, you spent good money on all that, me too. Reminds me of my kitchen when I lived in public housing. It’s not right but it’s worth the peace of mind
Oh yeah this is true. I had a rack where I put my cereal, bread, snacks etc. I stopped putting anything in the cabinets they were empty and it helped me a lot
A few more pointers. Roaches love cardboard boxes ..they also fees off of the blue on them. I also researched natural remedies. You may want to look up what plants chase away bugs and rotants. From what I've read one of the plants they hate is lavender , Black pepper etc. I've also seen the bug guy put down some type of bait for ants that looks like toothpaste, the bug eats it and carries some back to the others which kills them. Hopefully it works for roa he's too.
YUP............Works inside/outside and cheap enough to share with your neighbors. Helping them to get rid of their problem helps you, people that grew up with roaches don't have a clue how to get rid of them. Some believe and will tell you everybody has roaches.
I love watching your videos. I have been binging them for the past week ever since I found you. Every time I get in the car every time I clean my house I hear your beautiful voice coming through the speakers. I don’t know what it is about you but you motivate me you make me want to be a better person. Your kids are so blessed having such an amazing mom! Thank you for putting out these videos. It’s really helping me. And also I’m sorry for blowing up your comment section on all your videos lol just wanted to say that! 🖤
Goddess don't ever apologize for that, I LOVE that you are interactive! I'll never ignore you! And I appreciate so so so so so so so that you are watching my channel like that. To hear someone say that is really a whole dang on dream coming true!!! You're the bomb.com girlie. Thank you 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I'm proud of you, and I'm praying with you for better. Now it's going to be so easy when you move to your new place.. Everything's already packed! Prepared yourself for better and didn't know it 💁🏾😉❤️
Ortho home defense is awesome. I use it to avoid bugs. I spray inside an outside of my house. I wish you all the best i just subscribed to your channel.
I just saw your last video when you cleaned out your closet. You had the cat food in there. I would suggest going to Petco or Petsmart and getting a food container that keeps the bugs out. I have ants and these containers are great. Nothing goes in them. They're beige with paw prints on the side.
I had some really nasty housekeeping neighbors in a few places. I'd not let my dog live in such a place. I was shocked to see how they lived. I have problems eating potlucks now because of it at churches. You do not need to put the powdered stuff just get a good long term bug spray and spray monthly if you need to. Other wise every six months. Call the office to see if they offer spraying.
I placed a bowl of vinegar at night in the cabinets and sprayed the counter tops also took the trash out every night. After a few weeks of that NO BUGS!!
Hi, have you tried the plug in wall bug killer. They say it messy with the nervous system of the bugs and kills them. I use them in my home every blue moon. One might pop up, and he is dead on pop-up.
Just subscribed ✅ Stumbled on your part 1 video yesterday and binge watched some of your other videos. Loving what you represent- praying that this channel grows rapidly. Much love, sis ❤️
I’ve see people looking at NY apartments always checkingcwhere the pipes come in under sinks to make sure its is sealed up around the pipes - also people use clear caulk all over, where the floors meet the walls.
Good afternoon, I'm watching you from California. You can also use it in addition to one of your other subscribers' suggestions spray with Home Defense every week around the windows and pipes. You can obtain it from Home depot or any home improvement store. Unfortunately, living in a multi complex with other tenants who may not be clean. These cuitters will be coming in your home. You are doing a great job.🙏
I admire your tenacity to make your situation WORK!!!!! I remember kiving in a riach infested house i was renting from a slum lord ....i went and got myself a tall container of BORIC ACID on day 2 and sorinked it in the deep corners of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and places where i saw the bugs. With small children youll want to be mindful of where you sorinkle it...BUT THE STUFF WORKS!!!!!! Dudnt see anymore after a week.
I just found you this evening and have enjoyed your content. I lived in all kinds of housing and roaches and filthy neighbors come from all walks of life. I love your spirit and your message. One of the things that helped get rid of roaches when I lived in an apartment is COMBAT GEL along with deep cleaning, sprays and traps. I am subscribed and believe in your journey ❤
Welcome to my channel, I am so excited to hear that you subscribed, and grateful! Thank you 😊 I got some videos coming this month of me doing some of the things people have been suggesting in the comments and combat get is like one of the top things mentioned so I got me some, fingers crossed! 💚💚💚
I had a spider issue bc I'm surrounded by trees. Bugs are attracted to water. Make sure your drains are pkugged and faucets aren't leaky. Ever since i started useing the wall pkug uns from Amazon it has kept them at bay.
you did an amazing job ! yes when we release our fears we can go on to bigger things make our dreams come true Have a lovely day God Bless you & your children !
Get boxes and put from cabinets in them, don’t leave no food out, breads:,fruits and veggies it will dry them clean up every crumb keep the kids in one place when eating, call in maintenance to schedule to spray, do as much as you need. When they spray don’t mop. You will get rid of them
@@ladyfriend6365 I went to Lowe’s and they had this mesh like material that literally said vent covers on it. I thought I showed a clip of it in the video, my bad 💚
You’ve given me so many great ideas thank you. But those small raid baits with egg stoppers specifically the raid brand ones work like magic! I swear i thought i had a problem that would never be solved. I never see them anymore. I’ve had to use them twice. I’ll be using them everywhere atp. I put them in the cabinets on top of the fridge on the counters under the stove and fridge. It’s like I forgot i had a problem.Those pests suck so bad!😩 SN: you want to dust the boric acid lightly so they can step in it and carry it back.
I was here at 300 subscribers! Great video. Not sure how you ended up on my feed, but glad you did. It won't be like this always. Remember that! Bengal spray is also really good, but pricey. Get 2 cans, spray the perimeter of your home, and it'll take care of everything for at least 6 months. If you do see any buggies, they'll be dead or dying.
Yes!!! I love to hear that, I appreciate you 💚 Thank you for the suggestions too! & you’re right, it won’t always be like this I have faith that it will get better for me.
I’ve had to live under in income based apartments like twice and what I learned from the elders is to get those roaches bomb things and put multiple in every room and leave and do this for about a week because you can’t stay in there with all of those chemicals and then after that it should get rid of them and to make sure afterwards clean them up and just keep mothballs in every room and that helps keep them out no matter how nasty the neighbors are because we had had nasty neighbors and eventually it got to where they kept their roaches and came over and bragged about us not having roaches when it’s a decision and we made that as a family to continue to refuse to live without roaches so we kept roaches out and we only seen roaches crawling around the neighbors apartments and steering clear of ours and sometimes you also have to have the exterminator spray every month if your neighbors are too nasty and I forgot to mention to put the mothballs places where kids would never see them like inside of furniture and under furniture towards the walls away from eyesight and under cabinets behind products so kids don’t see it and I also washed everything down even the walls and cabinets and dishes down with bleach or Clorox daily
For BackUp get a Toaster Oven to cook 🍗🥐🥔🍕🌭🥓🥩your food. To wash the dishes buy 3 dishwash pan got to the tub fill them up 1 for washing soapy water, 1 for rinse water 💦 & last pan for holding extra dishes if you run out of dishe pan space. In case you can't go over someone house for some reason OR don't feel like going no where.
I had a toaster oven and got rid of it because it hold too many crumbs. Luckily they came and fixed the sink and oven quickly. My mom told me to do something similar to wash dishes in the meantime too. Thank you, I appreciate your help.
Who is that singing at 20:52? I like that song!!! I am so happy to see you are in better spirits while you wait for the Lord to move you and the kids into a better space 💕🙏🏾 it’s coming, just you wait!!!!

Hey what’s been working for me are those sticky traps from Walmart but I just order a 72 pack from Amazon for $26 I put em in the cabinets on the kitchen floor and cut them up for smaller spaces, girl I hate living this this , my new neighbors are the worst. I also use the ant killer in the black bottle from Walmart is been really helping
Thank you for sharing that with me! And yeah girl as you can see I hate it too but we just have to remember this is building us and not breaking us 💚💚💚 Thank you for watching too, I appreciate you for it!
I feel this so deeply! We lived in the projects for 7 years. Do I have some stories!! We lived in 4 different apartments there, i made them move us the last time because the whole building had bed bugs! Omg! That was the worst!! And another time, the girl above us was on drugs and left her baby in the bathtub and he turned the water on and flooded the whole bathroom to where it collapsed into our bathroom!! Swat over there every weekend! Shootings! Girl, one time my daughter was a baby and we were out on the porch sweeping up and no lie, this man ran through with the cops right behind him and they tazed this fool down right in front of my baby! So glad we got out of there! Luckily we got Section 8 finally! Are you on the list?
My first apartment was low income and my building truly did have an infestation of roaches🪳🪳🪳. I didn't sleep well for the first few nights lol. Luckily, the maintenance lady and her husband lived next door and gave Mr advice on how to get rid of them. I literally bleached down all the surfaces after using 3 roach bombs, and i definitely used boric acid. I kept wiping down all surfaces with bleach water afterwards to keep them at bay. Oh, and i used those combat roach motel traps. Before long, my lil project apartment became my temporary oasis. 😊
I pray you can move out and find a a roach free place. I have faith you will in less than 2 years. I have lived with roaches. They are creepy. Blessing to you.
i use to put my cereals in the fridge or transport all my cabinet foods in mason or glass jars, like the flour, corn starch, oatmeal, etc. Also drain covers.

I just want to say that with boric acid ,the roaches does get use to it and its like a power pellet to them, but what you can do is use it with crushed moth balls and it will definitely keep them away.... what you do is crush the moth balls in a zip lock bag and mix just a little with the boric acid and you will see results within days.......I put moth balls around the outside of my home in the summer, bugs animals insect does not like that smell....problem solved

Don't use bleach, use peppermint essential oil. Rats, mice, roaches hate the smell of peppermint oil, it work amazing.

Thank you!!! 💚
I'm proud of you, and I'm praying with you for better. Now it's going to be so easy when you move to your new place.. Everything's already packed! Prepared yourself for better and didn't know it 💁🏾😉❤️
My mom told me the same thing! Thank you for the love and support 💚
Ortho home defense is awesome. I use it to avoid bugs. I spray inside an outside of my house. I wish you all the best i just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you & welcome to my channel 💚💚💚
I just saw your last video when you cleaned out your closet. You had the cat food in there. I would suggest going to Petco or Petsmart and getting a food container that keeps the bugs out. I have ants and these containers are great. Nothing goes in them. They're beige with paw prints on the side.
I appreciate that thank you 💚
Thank you thank you ❤.That is all I want to say❤😊
You are so inspiring…Praying for you and your family for God’s blessings to overtake you at unawares in Jesus Name 🙏🏽Men
Thank you, thank you very much 💚
I had some really nasty housekeeping neighbors in a few places. I'd not let my dog live in such a place. I was shocked to see how they lived. I have problems eating potlucks now because of it at churches. You do not need to put the powdered stuff just get a good long term bug spray and spray monthly if you need to. Other wise every six months. Call the office to see if they offer spraying.
Thank you 💚
Baby is almost to 1k I’m so so proud of you ❤
Girl... 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I'm so grateful💚
them bugs ganna be like nothing to see here keep it moving boys!!
I hope so!!! 😂💚
I placed a bowl of vinegar at night in the cabinets and sprayed the counter tops also took the trash out every night. After a few weeks of that NO BUGS!!
so so many great advice here. Hoping your bug problem is getting better!
Yes! Thank you 💚
Hi, have you tried the plug in wall bug killer. They say it messy with the nervous system of the bugs and kills them. I use them in my home every blue moon. One might pop up, and he is dead on pop-up.
Just subscribed ✅
Stumbled on your part 1 video yesterday and binge watched some of your other videos. Loving what you represent- praying that this channel grows rapidly. Much love, sis ❤️
Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate this. I am also so happy to hear that you are enjoying the content. I will definitely keep it coming!
My girl posted today thank GOD! ❤
I’ve see people looking at NY apartments always checkingcwhere the pipes come in under sinks to make sure its is sealed up around the pipes - also people use clear caulk all over, where the floors meet the walls.
Thank you 💚
Also, you will need to continue to spray inside and outside of your front and back doors.
Thank you 💚
Good afternoon, I'm watching you from California. You can also use it in addition to one of your other subscribers' suggestions spray with Home Defense every week around the windows and pipes. You can obtain it from Home depot or any home improvement store. Unfortunately, living in a multi complex with other tenants who may not be clean. These cuitters will be coming in your home. You are doing a great job.🙏
Thank you, I really appreciate that 💚💚💚
I admire your tenacity to make your situation WORK!!!!!
I remember kiving in a riach infested house i was renting from a slum lord ....i went and got myself a tall container of BORIC ACID on day 2 and sorinked it in the deep corners of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and places where i saw the bugs. With small children youll want to be mindful of where you sorinkle it...BUT THE STUFF WORKS!!!!!! Dudnt see anymore after a week.
Thank you so much 💚 and I am getting me some too!
For the cabinets over your stove, you should consider buying space savers so you can store more items. They have them at Marshalls and Home Goods.
Oh, thank you for that suggestion!
I just found you this evening and have enjoyed your content. I lived in all kinds of housing and roaches and filthy neighbors come from all walks of life. I love your spirit and your message. One of the things that helped get rid of roaches when I lived in an apartment is COMBAT GEL along with deep cleaning, sprays and traps. I am subscribed and believe in your journey ❤
Welcome to my channel, I am so excited to hear that you subscribed, and grateful! Thank you 😊 I got some videos coming this month of me doing some of the things people have been suggesting in the comments and combat get is like one of the top things mentioned so I got me some, fingers crossed! 💚💚💚
You can get from Home Depot an under door seal to prevent anything from coming in. Peace and Love from NYC 🙏🏼💜✝️
I need that I have something now that isn’t the most secure, thanks 💚
Nitro gel bait, it works PLUS you dont have to breathe in nasty fumes from bug spray. I had a roach problem too. Good luck, keep your faith .
Thanks for the tip!
Love all the greenery in your room.
Thank youuuu ☺️💚💚
Praying continued blessings for you and your family. All your hard work is going to pay off.❤️
Thank you so much! 💚
Roach don’t like bay leaves. Place them in your kitchen cabinets
Thank you 💚💚💚
I had a spider issue bc I'm surrounded by trees. Bugs are attracted to water. Make sure your drains are pkugged and faucets aren't leaky. Ever since i started useing the wall pkug uns from Amazon it has kept them at bay.
Thank you, I’m going to get some of those next! 💚
You did great! My aunt lived in the projects and always kept her bread and cereal in the refridgerator.
Thank you 😊💚
you did an amazing job ! yes when we release our fears we can go on to bigger things make our dreams come true Have a lovely day God Bless you & your children !
Thank you so much! 😊
Oh wow I never thought about the storage bins for your items, that’s a great idea also.
Thank you 💚
Yes I am a married mom and yes I get very overwhelmed sometimes, so yes, I know how you feel but through the grace of God it’s all gonna be OK
Thank you 💚
Get boxes and put from cabinets in them, don’t leave no food out, breads:,fruits and veggies it will dry them clean up every crumb keep the kids in one place when eating, call in maintenance to schedule to spray, do as much as you need. When they spray don’t mop. You will get rid of them
Thank you so much 💚💚💚
You seem like the most wonderful person . ❤ god bless you and thank you for posting such an honest look at life. A lot of us feel this way. Hugs
Awww thank you so much ☺️ you’re welcome and thank you for being here 💚💚💚
It’s going to happen for you Sis ❤
I know it will 💚 thank you for believing too!
You are doing a great job I like the way you keep your apartment clean ❤
Thank you so much 😊
My 15 year old daughter does the same thing. Her room is for her alone time. My room is her bedtime. Smh, she has me so confused. Lol😅
Girl I cannot figure her out 🤣🤣💚
Get boric acid from the dollar general to put around the house for the bugs.
Thank you for sharing. That is a good idea for the silver ware and utensils ❤❤
You’re welcome ☺️ and I was so relieved that they fit in the drawers 💚
What did you put over the vents ????
@@ladyfriend6365 I went to Lowe’s and they had this mesh like material that literally said vent covers on it. I thought I showed a clip of it in the video, my bad 💚
I was here at 300 subscribers BUT sis you're at 931 now!! 🙂
GIRL!!! You are a real one and I appreciate youuuuuu 🫶🏾😊 I’m still shooketh 😂 but extremely grateful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚
You are doing a great job, the house looks great! Thanks for posting.
Thank youuuu 💚💚💚 & you’re welcome
You’ve given me so many great ideas thank you. But those small raid baits with egg stoppers specifically the raid brand ones work like magic! I swear i thought i had a problem that would never be solved. I never see them anymore. I’ve had to use them twice. I’ll be using them everywhere atp. I put them in the cabinets on top of the fridge on the counters under the stove and fridge. It’s like I forgot i had a problem.Those pests suck so bad!😩 SN: you want to dust the boric acid lightly so they can step in it and carry it back.
Thank you 💚💚💚💚
You did a good job in cleaning keep up the good work
Thank you very much, and I sure will!!
Bad times never last for long. You got this.
Thank you for the encouragement 💚
I was here at 300 subscribers! Great video. Not sure how you ended up on my feed, but glad you did. It won't be like this always. Remember that!
Bengal spray is also really good, but pricey. Get 2 cans, spray the perimeter of your home, and it'll take care of everything for at least 6 months. If you do see any buggies, they'll be dead or dying.
Yes!!! I love to hear that, I appreciate you 💚 Thank you for the suggestions too! & you’re right, it won’t always be like this I have faith that it will get better for me.
Lowe's or home Depot have a big spray container with bug spray really works good l recommend it,
Ok! Thank you 💚
I was hhheeerrrreeee ❤ thanks for the upload beauty
Heyyyyyyyyy 😂💚💚💚 You are very much appreciated
Nice work ,your apartment looks nice and clean.
Thank you!
I’ve had to live under in income based apartments like twice and what I learned from the elders is to get those roaches bomb things and put multiple in every room and leave and do this for about a week because you can’t stay in there with all of those chemicals and then after that it should get rid of them and to make sure afterwards clean them up and just keep mothballs in every room and that helps keep them out no matter how nasty the neighbors are because we had had nasty neighbors and eventually it got to where they kept their roaches and came over and bragged about us not having roaches when it’s a decision and we made that as a family to continue to refuse to live without roaches so we kept roaches out and we only seen roaches crawling around the neighbors apartments and steering clear of ours and sometimes you also have to have the exterminator spray every month if your neighbors are too nasty and I forgot to mention to put the mothballs places where kids would never see them like inside of furniture and under furniture towards the walls away from eyesight and under cabinets behind products so kids don’t see it and I also washed everything down even the walls and cabinets and dishes down with bleach or Clorox daily
I really appreciate you taking out the time for type this, thank you 💚
Bay leaves in your cabinets and dressers
That spray is the best if you live down south with these roaches, I am from Michigan and I never seen these size roaches before in my life
🥴🥴 It’s terrifying for me
For BackUp get a Toaster Oven to cook 🍗🥐🥔🍕🌭🥓🥩your food. To wash the dishes buy 3 dishwash pan got to the tub fill them up 1 for washing soapy water, 1 for rinse water 💦 & last pan for holding extra dishes if you run out of dishe pan space. In case you can't go over someone house for some reason OR don't feel like going no where.
I had a toaster oven and got rid of it because it hold too many crumbs. Luckily they came and fixed the sink and oven quickly. My mom told me to do something similar to wash dishes in the meantime too. Thank you, I appreciate your help.
Who is that singing at 20:52? I like that song!!! I am so happy to see you are in better spirits while you wait for the Lord to move you and the kids into a better space 💕🙏🏾 it’s coming, just you wait!!!!
Oh girl let me put you ON! Her name is Madison Ryan Ward and the song is called Higher, I really like her music. She has such a great singing voice and of course she’s singing about GOD so that’s another plus. But thank you, can’t stay down for too long 💪🏾💚💚
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_ Thank you!! I am definitely about to look her up and add her to my Apple Music lol!
Hey what’s been working for me are those sticky traps from Walmart but I just order a 72 pack from Amazon for $26 I put em in the cabinets on the kitchen floor and cut them up for smaller spaces, girl I hate living this this , my new neighbors are the worst. I also use the ant killer in the black bottle from Walmart is been really helping
Thank you for sharing that with me! And yeah girl as you can see I hate it too but we just have to remember this is building us and not breaking us 💚💚💚 Thank you for watching too, I appreciate you for it!
I feel this so deeply! We lived in the projects for 7 years. Do I have some stories!! We lived in 4 different apartments there, i made them move us the last time because the whole building had bed bugs! Omg! That was the worst!! And another time, the girl above us was on drugs and left her baby in the bathtub and he turned the water on and flooded the whole bathroom to where it collapsed into our bathroom!! Swat over there every weekend! Shootings! Girl, one time my daughter was a baby and we were out on the porch sweeping up and no lie, this man ran through with the cops right behind him and they tazed this fool down right in front of my baby! So glad we got out of there! Luckily we got Section 8 finally! Are you on the list?
Wow! And yes…
My first apartment was low income and my building truly did have an infestation of roaches🪳🪳🪳. I didn't sleep well for the first few nights lol. Luckily, the maintenance lady and her husband lived next door and gave Mr advice on how to get rid of them. I literally bleached down all the surfaces after using 3 roach bombs, and i definitely used boric acid. I kept wiping down all surfaces with bleach water afterwards to keep them at bay. Oh, and i used those combat roach motel traps. Before long, my lil project apartment became my temporary oasis. 😊
Thank you for sharing that with me 💚
@_EvolvingIntoHER_ you're welcome! I'm really enjoying your channel. I look forward to more content 😊
I pray you can move out and find a a roach free place. I have faith you will in less than 2 years. I have lived with roaches. They are creepy. Blessing to you.
🥹 Thank you 💚
I was here at 300 Subscribers......you did a great job sis.
Yesss! Thank you, I appreciate that so much.
Admirable 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you 💚
Good Evening, also cover your drain in the kitchen at night,roaches love water. Peace and Love from NYC 🙏🏼💜✝️
Yes! I just brought some new ones that are more secure and I wipe that sink dry every night too, they can’t have nothing to drink either 😂💚
Thanks
Rachael, thank you so much 🥹💚💚💚
@@_EvolvingIntoHER_❤❤❤
i use to put my cereals in the fridge or transport all my cabinet foods in mason or glass jars, like the flour, corn starch, oatmeal, etc. Also drain covers.
That’s smart. Thank you 💚
I wondered if the inspection caused everyone to clean up, at least for a little while? Do you ever forget where you have put things?
Ugh idk it’s possible and no not really 💚
girl that fine goodwill man was checking out your booty !!! anyway new subscriber thank you so much for your vulnerability because what you said about all the aesthetically pleasing content is so true!! got us feeling all bad & insecure! I don't live in the projects but i do live in brooklyn new york with a section 8 voucher & have lived in large buildings so i dealt with the bugs. our projects do not look like yours!!! they are the worst! what state are you in if you dont mind sharing... thanks again love your content
🤣🤣🤣 You are so funny for catching that! Thank you so much for subscribing, I am so grateful!! I am also in North Carolina 💚💚💚
I just want to say that with boric acid ,the roaches does get use to it and its like a power pellet to them, but what you can do is use it with crushed moth balls and it will definitely keep them away.... what you do is crush the moth balls in a zip lock bag and mix just a little with the boric acid and you will see results within days.......I put moth balls around the outside of my home in the summer, bugs animals insect does not like that smell....problem solved
Thank you so much 💚💚
