Hello All, I've worked in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing as a Lab Operator and a Pilot Plant Operator and am currently working my W2 job while also working as a Real Estate Agent with plans to quit my W2 and transition into Real Estate full time as an agent/investor in San Antonio,TX .

I need to have them really cleaned for the glaze to stick and I REALLY don't want to have to remove and replace them.Does anybody have any suggestions for some super cleaning chemical that will cut the grease and sticky crap?

No, to many issues and it only fits one guy.If I did STR's and wanted a hot tub (they are technical called a spa ), I'd pop about 5 grand (or so) for one (maybe on payments) that seats vs lays down about 7 seated guys.With a cover for it, and run the (probably 50 amp GFCI breaker, wiring and cutoff to it) (probably $1,500 or so electrician rates).It also needs a concrete slab under it of X inches thickness to hold the weight.Then build a small deck around half of it at rim height.The proper hot tubs hold about 400 to 500 gallons (or more) of water and that needs to be dumped about 4 times a year, with chemicals added to the existing water on a regular basis (pool service or self labor (not renters doing it).Typical they heat 24/7/365 and might cost $3 or $4 a day to keep hot (depends on your electric rates and the amount of insulation the unit has, as well as your outdoor temps..Austin will cost less then Alaska).

The tenants need to put food products in Kerr jars and be diligent at cleaning up spillsIf you want chemicals here are some: https://www.domyown.com/ants-c...Wasps are more difficult.

@Stephen WalleyLike a rate swap or a synthetic? 

@Peter Walther we don't know what the condemnation cause is, there are chemical ones in Cleveland and area surrounds # OHD98061454Title company is not going to cover things the seller lied about.

We are ramping up on additive manufacturing and approaching the tipping point on about 5 technologies (sensors and networks, artificial intelligence, ever increasing cost/performance of chips, robotics, and synthetic biology).

There are numerous tenant support groups and charities that can provide you with rent on behalf of someone who is struggling.That being said, There are other citizens that will bring security and physical and chemical risk to you that you and your business will not be able to deal with.I wish you luck.

Is there anything else I need to do about the roaches (other than a chemical barrier), or will resolving the moisture issue keep them out?

I am a Process Operator at a local Chemical Plant.
