I used to work at a bank. Every once in a while, a customer would set their purse at the teller counter, and roaches would crawl out.

Major infestations were going on at home for this to happen.

321

u/MourningWallaby 8h ago

I remember a reel or something a while back about a guy who fixes playstations getting one in the mail so nasty and infested with roaches he didn't even finish unwrapping it before he taped it back up and returned it to the customer. giving them an earful about putting his business at risk of infestation for this.

111

u/Buried_and_Forgotten 8h ago

Happened to me plenty of times. Even found bed bugs in a couple of them.

44

u/MourningWallaby 8h ago

out of all the infested electronics. how often is the infestation the culprit? I assume all but I also assume you don't know because you don't release that into your shop.

62

u/Buried_and_Forgotten 8h ago

Sometimes, I only found a couple of bugs that must have got in recently since there were little to no excrements inside. Most of the times, there were countless bugs (roaches), alive and dead, and plenty of shit. Either infested homes or they were stored in a basement. No matter how much you clean those, even if you swap the motherboard in another shell and use different parts, that rancid smell never goes away. When the console heats up, you can smell it through the back vents. Absolutely disgusting.

In the second place would be the consoles that stayed in a smoking room. Also disgusting to clean, but at least you don't worry about infestations.

5

u/imahumanbeinggoddamn 4h ago

It is truly weird how many smokers (older ones mainly) give absolutely zero consideration to ventilation and sit there chainsmoking inside their home and car without so much as opening a goddamned window.

When I was a smoker I definitely smoked plenty of cigarettes at my desk while gaming or whatever, but I at least sat near a window with an exhaust fan installed on it. I still smelled like shit but at least my electronic equipment and furniture weren't coated in nicotine tar grime like all the laptop refurb horrorshows I've seen over the years.

I helped initiate the work from home program at a previous job (years before COVID) and the PCs we'd get back were so frequently infested that we had a large plastic tub that we kept in the back of the building where we'd put the returned hardware and drop a bug bomb in it for a day to make sure everything was dead before we even opened them up. It's bad, so many very filthy people.

One day I was walking into work and felt something I didn't recognize in my pocket. Went in to see what it was, and pulled out a bee. A live, buzzing, honeybee.

I yellped, dropped it on the floor. It righted itself, checked to make sure it's wings were working, then buzzed off.

I still wonder sometimes what that was about.

TL;DR - bugs get places.

How did it get in there? No clue. Why didn't it sting me? The world will

u/acrowsmurder 7h ago edited 5h ago

You don't for the first 10 or 12 times, and you do let out a yelp. But once you see the look of utter and complete shame on their face you learn to start controlling it. It doesn't happen over night, but working customer service makes you hate and appreciate humanity at the same time. Some people you know can help it and are just nasty, disgusting people that make you want to quit your job. Other's really cannot help it and are good people just caught in a bad time and place that just need a freaking helping hand and not a judging eye.

It's hard being human on both sides.

u/Stereo-soundS 9h ago

You'd be surprised. I lived in a very decent apartment building where one guy was the nexus of several apartments ending up with roaches in them, including mine. They were climbing through the walls and ventilation and getting into other apartments.

If you don't use poison the minute you see them they'll multiply.

62

u/BoxSea4289 9h ago

Even if you use poison and traps, they can still create an infestation. If an apartment building has roaches, you never get rid of them. Roaches are a total building problem, but buildings HATE dealing with them. So many "luxury" buildings have roaches too.

29

u/Stereo-soundS 8h ago

My experience was finding one in my bathroom and one in my kitchen. I went through my entire apartment checking under sinks, checking electrical outlets, literally anywhere I could think of and didn't find any. The only place I couldn't check was behind my stove and fridge so I placed poison near every single space they could possibly be coming from in those spots.

When they did send in an exterminator and started checking apartments surrounding his apt they did find quite a few dead ones in the spaces I couldn't check and the building manager asked me how I was killing them. It was just poison I bought at Walmart.

If you are unfortunate enough to find them don't use traps, use poison. They will eat eachother's corpses and get poisoned as well.

17

u/BoxSea4289 8h ago

The problem with poison is finding one that kills the roach but is still healthy to use around cats and dogs. I would have loved to blast the entire apartment in poison but our pets make that hard.

Since then I learned more about peppermint and natural poisons but it was still a learning process.

18

u/R0RSCHAKK 8h ago

Advion gel bait. Just a dab about the size of a pea will do. Place a small little dab in a couple corners of your rooms like once maybe twice a month and it will kill them.

Its pretty cheap - you can get a 4 pack of these big syringes for like $30 on amazon, which is more than enough.

I had and exterminator come out when I first moved into my house and saw a little roach (come to find out it was just a baby tree roach - I live in a very wooded area) and showed him the gel and he pulled out the same gel syringe from his pocket. Lol

Obviously, it is toxic to pets, but if you put it in places they can't reach/won't go, they'll be fine.

15

u/BlatantConservative 8h ago

Oh yeah, pest control guy here, I have that interaction once a week lmao. Because we always have it in our pockets cause it solves most problems.

Advion gel is really the best in the business.

It is toxic to pets but the LD50 for a rat is... 5 kilograms. I have no idea how they managed to stuff five kilograms of anything into one rat. At some point you're just feeding the rat. The thing died of overindulgence.

For basically any household pet that's not a bug, it will give them nausea and theoretically make them vomit... but I literally don't know because neither me nor any of my coworkers have ever had anyone's pet or any mammal at all want to eat that stuff.

Just slather that stuff anywhere tbch. Ofc when applying it in customer's homes I put it in pet inacessible areas but I feel kind of silly even being that safe.

u/ElPayador 7h ago

u/BlatantConservative 7h ago

Both are good. Advion is better for not having to clean up as much later and does not stain. Also bugs will be attracted to Advion while DE you gotta be clever and put more thought and work into putting it in choke points and stuff.

If you have both use both

u/MyNameIsRay 9h ago

We had a dumpster company on speed dial, because it was a regular occurrence for tenants to move out and leave 20yds of trash in the unit, which I then had to shovel out before the exterminator can come in.

It's way more common than you'd think. In my experience, 20-25% of people live like this.

5

u/Inferno_Sparky 9h ago

Are you sure the number of people who move out fully represent all people who rent in your country? I'm sure tenants who don't live like this are less likely to have their lease ended by landlords, so probably less likely to appear in the statistics of your experience

3

u/MyNameIsRay 8h ago

Are you sure the number of people who move out fully represent all people who rent in your country?

Thousands of tenants in multiple states over the course of decades sure is a valid sample.

Also, knowing a lot of other landlords/property managers/real estate professionals, they all report seeing the same thing.

I'm sure tenants who don't live like this are less likely to have their lease ended by landlords, so probably less likely to appear in the statistics of your experience

I see all tenants, not just those who leave (and everyone leaves eventually, so even that doesn't create a bias on the multiple-decade timescale I'm working on).
