You will probably find at certain times of the year the administrators organise the flushing out of drains with insectercide  and they come out gasping into apartments

Why would the administrators come out gasping into apartments?

We were out in July and for the first time in 11 years we were inundated with them.  Complained to the Administrator who said the drains had been sprayed and they were coming out to die?  Pretty lively when they entered our property far from dying.  They were on the walls outside late at night which became a game of get as many of them as we could before they could enter.  Unfortunately like the boy with the finger in the hole in the dam - impossible task.

As I have said previously, we see them most nights when we are out & about so I am not surprised that some properties see more than others.

Living here as we do, every year we see the new paint markings on the manhole covers to show that they have been round spraying for the little blighters.

Our Alba has the common ventilation stack on the solarium to vent the kitchen and bathroom, its an excellent entry point for roaches, I have tied a very fine mesh round the vent louvres at the top of the stack, since then no roaches, we used to find the blighters on the worktop by the cooker hood, made me think it could be the vent stack was the problem.

On Puerto Marino we have again for the second year been plagued by roaches, our house is shut up for several months a year and on arrival in july located 5 of the things 3 long dead and 2 running around. Soon eradicated with none seen inside all month. The house is scrupulously clean with no food in cupboard. Every possible point of entry has been sealed with a good dose of spray on all doors and windows. For all residents on Puerto Marino who think there is no roach problem, i can assure them that when walking through the urb late at night many can be seen scrabbling around.

We've had our place on altomar 2 for a little over a year now and although when we took possession we did find some long departed ones under the fridge and washer when i moved them to clean, we have not had a single one since, flat is always left scrupulously clean as i am a bit of a fusspot that way and i really hope there are none at the moment as my daughters and families are out very soon and would run screeching from the apartment as theyve never seen one, weve only seen one or two in total on the streets at night since we got the place, so the part of altomar 2 we are in seems under control.
