Iv rented out a flat, we didn’t have much of a problem when we were staying. 4-5 years after tenant’s moved in , they are facing a lot of roach problem. The tenants keep the flat in a spick and clean way. So no question of hygiene yet the roaches are coming from somewhere.
Iv checked the plumbing and everything.
Now tenant is asking to get the kitchen trolleys replaced as they are 15 years old (old design ) and roaches are hiding and laying eggs in the railings.

If they are getting after 4-5 years then they must be not keeping clean. Still as solution a Pest control is enough

Coakroaches can eat clothes and paper.its not necessary that the environment has to be dirty. You can easily get rid of those little bastards. Simply buy boric acid powder from a medical shop. It’s not poison.It’s very cheap.spread it on the corners or places where you see it. Do not put it on plates or other utensils. Its corrosive to their body. After two to three days, you can see the roaches lie down, gasping for final breath. Google for more.
