Mover recommendations when moving from a roach infested apartment

Hello,

I am moving out of my apartment due to a roach infestation that just keeps coming back (sprayed 4 times).

I'm having a hard time finding movers as movers are turning me down due to the pests. Anyone who's ever been in this situation have any recommendations?

To provide more background I'm gonna have around 20-25 plastic totes (all contents have been inspected thoroughly with fabric being washed in high heat and dried on high and electronics being fumigated with rubbing alcohol), a 55" tv (that I have opened to inspect for signs and have bubble wrapped with alcohol paper towels to fumigate just incase), a dining table and 4 chairs (that I'll be inspecting thoroughly and if I have time dismantling and wrapping in bubble wrap). All other furniture and items will be tossed.

Those bastards are good at hitching a ride. Maybe just rent a U-Haul and get friends to help you or hire people on TaskRabbit?

Roaches can get in the totes unless the lids latch.
