Please Stop BUGGING Me!
Hi all! I hope everyone is staying safe and sane through these strange times. I am scratching my head (figuratively) and hope a few can give some advice. I have a condo in a large gated community of both sfh and condos. Each condo block is an 8-plex (4 units downstairs, 4 upstairs). I have wonderful conscientious tenants who are having a german roach problem that Truly Nolan has determined is coming from a next door neighbor (I believe the tenant is Sec 8). We treated, sealed, and electrostaticly sprayed in the walls, as well as are continuing with bait and infertility products ongoing. TN said you can't really seal effectively for these because they are so small, though it somewhat helps. But, the roaches keep coming back, where they even crawl on them at night. Ewwww! City and County won't get involved. Hoa is now trying, but didn't do much for a year, and so far has claimed all they can do is send notices to the tenant and owner of other units (but, are now saying the they can request proof of treatment - although no idea what can be done if the other owners don't provide proof). I can't be the only person with the dilemma. Can anyone advise me of what I can do besides treating. I love my tenants and certainly don't want to lose them. Thanks in advance for any advice!
