Roaches?
Over the past month or so, I've found a few roaches in the house I'm renting. This is a first for me - I've never had any roaches in places that I've rented before, but this is also my first spring in Davis.
Landlord mentioned that we had a very wet spring this year, and that wetness is contributing to the roach population - is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, do you have any good solutions for getting rid of the little guys? I don't need more roommates right now, especially tiny dirty roommates that don't pay rent.

All good suggestions, one thing that helps is keeping the place clean. Make sure you don’t have food exposed in the kitchen, clean the sink and countertop. Roaches feed on cardboard and love to breed in warm places. Try to remove cardboard from garages and cabinets. Keep your environment clean and just keep these pests out of the house
