My fiance and I rent a house in town. Our neighbors house is about 20 ft away. 9 months or so out of the year we don't have a roach problem but during the fall after it has cooled off until it freezes you can stand between our houses and watch the roaches move from their house to ours. Our land lord called the city and code enforcement harassed them for a week or two then seems to have dropped it. I've tried both ortho home defense and raid bug barrier sprays and the landlord also sent an exterminator out once to spray our house. Is there anything I can use to keep the roaches from migrating from their house. Even the professional didn't stop them completely. They did slow down some though. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, move. lol
Roaches are tough to get rid of. Only way is make sure they have no food source.

The highest percentage Permethrin you can find.

put chickens/guinea hens there. I think they eat roaches.

Texas and Oklahoma must be the roach capitals of the southwest for some reason. I hear this same story alot from friends who live in town, mostly in Tulsa. We live in the country and Ive never seen a roach out here, yet, guess all the wolf spiders and other critters we do have eat them.

Moving is our last resort. Rent here is pretty high and ours is reasonable. Our rent would probably increase about 30% for similar size and condition house. Then there is no guarantee we won't have the same problem with new neighbors. Our house is clean and I don't think we have them in our house year round.

I bought some of this after reading a post here on OSA. Mix with water in a spray tank and spray outside the perimeter of the house. Seemed to work well. Wish I could remember the name on the bottle.

I bought this stuff from Coweta co-op called Viper that I mix and put in my sprayer that weve been spraying around our house and yard the last several years. Had a problem with ants from the time I moved in here 12 years ago til I started using it and didnt have one in the house last year that I remember.
