1000 roaches
Legally speaking, it's a lot easier to kill roaches than a person
I'll take the person. I lived with roaches in the past. Were impossible to get rid of and would keep destroying stuff including electronics. Not to mention the SOUND at night. Those 1000 roaches will also rapidly multiply to be way more.
I'm glad to be out of that place. In the person case I am sure I could either reason with them (If they're living in my attic out if necessity) or have the authorities involved (If they're a danger to me).
An easier (but more time consuming way) to get rid of roaches is with bait, not spray. Use spray only in areas you absolutely don't want them to touch, because they know it's bad and just avoid it. Use little amounts of bait everywhere else. Then you wait, and wait, and slowly they die and don't come back.
Tried that. The issue is when the neighborhood is infested. They just come back again and again. Im glad to be out of that hell.
Yeah nothing you can do if your neighbors don't do it too. You'd have to keep replacing the bait every few months as it dries out.
From what I last heard, the entire area was deemed condemned and needs to be torn down due to not following safety and health standards anymore. So moving out was definitely a good move.
I'd just mix a bunch of ammonia and bleach and leave it in the attic.
Just tent the place.
