Roaches Everywhere!!!?

I live in NC and i rent a trailer inside a MHP. When i moved in a little over six months ago i found dead roaches in several places but no live ones. Now six months later I feel as if the roaches are running the place. i have informed the landlord of this, but he has yet to do anything about it. I have bought combat and boric acid used them seperatly and together. I cant afford an exterminator. What should I do???

    Using only the Combat will get rid of the roaches in a week or more. It takes time for the roaches to eat it and take it to their nests.

    I've had trouble with these at different times in several different locations where I've lived. To kill the ones already in there, heres a good bait. I've never measured, but just mix together peanut butter and a good helping of boric acid. Make little balls of it and put them inside the perimeter around the baseboard and underneath furniture and even in cabinets if you see them there. They'll eat it and share it and you'll see a major decease in numbers shortly. To keep them from coming inside, plant some Bay plants around your trailor. http://www.thegrowers-exchange.com/Bay_Trees_p/her...

    Hope this helps.

    You can try using roach bait gels around the inside of your trailer. Just place some amounts around the areas you see them most, or places like under and behind the refrigerator, stove, around sink pipes. You just let the bait gel sit there and allow the roaches to consume/take it back to their nest and allow it to spread.

    Use Bengle roach spray....Works good....If you can use it safely....May need to apply more than one time
