Don't bomb it.

Go to Home Depot and get some stuff called Bengal Roach Spray. I picked it up at Lowes.

Problem is leaving in an apartment while you are a good house keeper the people living around you could be the source of the problem and it's hard to solve.

Why not just have the Appt call an exterminator to take care of the problem. That is their job.

Almost the same as bombing it. I've lived in the same apartment for about 3 years and have never had the exterminator come in, because of my bird and my fishes.

Cover the tank. Easy to do. Error on the safe side.

Probably not necessary, but if you kill all of your fish you would be pissed.

they have sprayed befor and it didnt help i have some spray from lows that is supposed to kill roaches and get rid of them for 6 months but it didnt help we keep the apartment clean but our neighbors are gross and the roaches are coming from them

I would keep complaining to management until the problem was corrected.

Just be sure you know when they are coming so you can protect your fish.

i have complained lots nobody cares in one ear and out the other

This may be a stupid question, but have you tried those roach motel things?

Think about this long and hard. It could be bad. I would do some more research on this. good luck.

The stuff I'm reccommending isn't a bomb. You spray it under cabinets and appliances and dark places where they hide and they walk through it and it kills them.

if you mix the Clorox with warm water, spray around kitchen( specially under the sink), around the area the roaches come from, when the roach get contact with the mixture(by licking), all their eggs will be killed, and problem will be solved partially. ( other roaches will still come in from your neighbor).
