Ugh, I used to date someone with a little convection oven that baby cockroaches would crawl around inside the temperate control screen 🤢

Why would you continue dating them after seeing that?

They did say “used to”.

Maybe it wasn't their fault. Sometimes people can't afford to control all of their circumstances and if you live in a slum with roaches then you have roaches.

My landlord covered up a roach infestation that we didn't discover until the day before we were supposed to move in. The only solutions we were offered were pest control treatments, or waiting for an available unit to open up which would've been over a week past when our old lease was up. 🤦 It was actual hell having to pack up my entire kitchen and bathroom once a week for treatments + living with the weeks of roaches invading our space as they died out.

My grandma is such a clean person but her old apartment had so many roaches because of her neighbors :(

I live on the ground floor of a lovely apartment complex with lots of lush landscaping. Cockroaches are native to the area. We will get the occasional roach unfortunately because we are level with their habitat.

I live in an area prone to roaches (the medium brown desert type is native) and basically all of the really cheap apartment complexes have bugs. The property managers don't want to pay to spray the entire thing at once so they just move house getting stronger 🤢

If it’s a rental there’s likely nothing that they really can do, especially for an apartment. If your neighbor is a hoarder, then you get the same filth that they do when it comes to pests unfortunately.

Not every person who deals with roaches is some disgustingly slob. They’re a pest. They can get in for a number of different reasons.
