D/FW Renter's Alliance,
Thank you for providing this forum for us frustrated people who live in Havenwood. It is such a struggle to move, with so many obstacles, but that is what a lot of us are wanting to do to escape from the new owner's rent increases and surcharges for things that used to be included in the rent, like the security alarms, the water, the natural gas to heat the water and more, like the recycling fee.
What is next? An allocated surcharge to pay for the constant need to have a cockroach exterminator try to eliminate the chronic cockroach infestations?
I have lived in a Havenwood one bedroom apartment for 6 years. During that time I have had the exterminator try to exterminate the cockroaches on three occasions. Each time for a short while the cockroaches are gone. And then they come back.
Finally I gave up on calling the office to ask for another exterminator visit. I researched home remedies to get rid of cockroaches.
On Amazon.com I found a product with rave reviews called Dupont Avion Cockroach Gel Bait. Trouble was, it was expensive. I went to Home Depot where I did not find the Dupont product, but I did find a Cockroach Gel Bait called Combat Source Kill Max.
I Googled for info about the Cockroach product to find it sounded similar to the Dupont product, in that you squeeze a peanut butter consistency gel out of what looks like a hypodermic needle. The cockroaches eat the gel, go back to their nest, die and spread the poison.
Then I found Raid also has a similar product, called Raid Roach Gel.
I found the Combat Source Kill Max at Walmart and bought it. Got home and followed the instructions. From what I read on Amazon the results can be astounding, as in the next day people found dozens of cockroach corpses on their kitchen floors.
But, the next day I found no cockroach corpses. But, I also saw no live cockroaches.
As the days passed a few cockroach corpses showed up on the kitchen floor. But no live ones.
Now, two months have gone by and I no longer seem to have a cockroach problem.
For the first time in years I am cockroach free.
So, I can wholeheartedly suggest to anyone suffering from cockroach visitors that you seek out the Dupont, Combat or Raid products and get rid of these annoying pests.
Now, if only Walmart sold a product that got rid of an annoying landlord in as equally an easy way....
Thank you,
Anonymous Havenwooder
