I need some serious help getting rid of these things. I have used bombs as well as that paste and roach traps. I have them in my electrical items in rooms where there isn't any water and they have ruined several DVD players. We don't have much carpet left but we do have hamsters and a guinea pig and we do not want poison down that they could get into, as hamsters are notorious escape artists. Years ago we had a really bad case in a modular home and even professional pest control did not help in the slightest. I finally heard about misting and I asked them to do this in my house as a last resort. The man started before we got out the door, and as soon as he started the mist the roaches started dropping from the ceiling and from the walls. I have never seen so many roaches before. Well I have called pest control services and was told that they no longer do the mist. I can understand this because once we had it done we never saw another roach in that house and they can't stay in business I guess without repeating their sprays. I'd like to have it done here but nobody seems to do it. These roaches were a 'gift' from someone who had a bad infestation at their house and who did laundry at ours. These stupid things came over in their laundry and decided to stay with us. Please help, I can't stand these awful things. We have young children here who are crumb crushers so its hard to keep from having some small food items somewhere. :eek:

Help! They're back! They scare the heck out of me and, while I know we need to seal off the basement, I need something to do about it until we do so they don't keep multiplying. I'm afraid to go down there! We also have two young children so I don't want to hire an exterminator to spray all of our things only to have these pests return. I don't know when we'll deal with the basement issue of sealing it all off but it won't be within the next couple of mos, I know. Any ideas? TIA!:confused:
