| The last place I lived (with family) had a huge issue with roaches. When I say huge I mean they were everywhere( in our beds, fridge, the living room, just everywhere) INFESTED. I had to bring my stuff from over there to my new place including boxes, clothes and etc. now I'm starting to see roaches in my new place. Is there a way I can prevent this from going any further without it being too expensive. |

| They are probably in the furniture. I would invest now rather than pay even more later. And keep your kitchen spotless--no crums, no dirty dishes in the sink. Good luck! |

Roach baits in the meantime. Get rid of all boxes as well. Take all suitcases outside and scrub them. Wash all linens.
Kitchen must be kept 100% spotless. |

Boric acid is also helpful -- a low-toxicity, long-term treatment.

| They can hide in the corrugated ridges and holes of the cardboard boxes. Throw out all boxes now and get an exterminator. Roach motel should help as a stop gap measure in the meantime |
