I'm leaning towards most homeowners realizing the dollar is just practically worthless these days compared to even just 5 years back, so each year the price in lousy US dollars they would part with for their pride and joy and American dream is incrementally more, even if it means their houses and others' more and more pile up and sit on the market teasing agents who fail to bring an acceptable offer; and causing foreclosures, short sales, and distressed sales to sell at practically regular sale market value as compared to the overpriced inventory. 

i have to disagree about baits, i have personally used FIPRONIL gel bait and had have roaches literally disappear. american roaches gone in 2 days, german roaches 1-2 week. i would at least give this stuff a try first. make sure it is .05% fipronil not .01% and its on ebay for about $8 a tube....for a 6 unit place you would only need 3 tubes...this stuff was recommended to me by an exterminator.

FYI: - No Religious or Political PostingsI totally disagree with you, no one mentioned anything about religious or politics here, when A politician brings up real estate related policies like A 2 year, old they should be held accountable and every American is allowed to speak up against it and explain the nonsense behind it.Explaining real estate bills is not politics - politicians know very little about this.
