Cockroaches

[NickiH]

We have an apartment on Altomar 2 and have heard there is a major problem in that area with an infestation of cockroaches. I know particularly this time of year you see the odd one or two. We are out next week and I hate the horrid things. Has anyone in the area got a particular problem and if so how are you keeping them at bay !  I expect if it's a major problem the community would send a pest controller out. It's weird only the last two years have I seen any around the apartment

We've not had any problems for years , might see the  odd one but they are normally dead , not much to eat in our place ...

Currently gripping my office desktop tightly before saying that we have not seen one in our apartment as yet, coming up on ten years owning it now.

We haven't heard of a problem Nicki. The Administrators usually carry out pest control each year and it is has never been an issue.

Not seen any for a few years now.

You are lucky, we are on 3.2G Monte Y Mar and we personally do not have a problem but we see many on the streets near to us. A neighbour had a major problem a few years ago, finding them dead in the house and can honestly say that they cleaned up and never left a scrap out when they left the property. Eventually they sorted the problem by blocking the drain in the ground floor shower room as this appeared to be the source.

Touch wood no problems this visit, last September I put a fine mesh round our ventilation chimney on our Solarium its an easy access for roaches.

Thanks for all your replies. I will rest assured there isn't a problem then ! But mesh on grills and patio drains in the summer months is a really good idea

Puerto Marino had a roach problem last year which dragged on for several months, there a bit like rats in london never far away. But preventative action in the sewer system keeps them at bay, if untreated out they come at night and exploit any weakness in your house defences.

Anyone noticed more cockroaches around recently?
Does the rain bring them out?

Just hate them!

We have just come back last week following a few weeks in GA and did not see many compared to last year.
We put down traps in each room a couple of times a year and that seems to keep on top of them.

There is also a spray you can buy (Can't remember the name but it's got a black lid) this kills them instantly.

I think they mean if the drains start flooding etc does this bring them out.
