I used many cans of the roach spray, took a long time to clear, every few days spray, even go spray the sampah collection room. After a while they stop but i still spray once every month.

As someone moving from a landed property to a rented unit in a high rise building in KL for work, i noticed that roaches (especially fully adult roaches  shocking.gif ) will appear no matter how clean i keep my unit.

Is this true for all high rise buildings in KL or am i unlucky in choosing my unit? Peope living in KL, please advise. rclxub.gif

New unit less issue, old unit sure will get.
high floor less problem with roaches provided the building do pest control every 6 months or you can try spray the rubbish chute area every month with some ridsect/shieldtox

Roach bomb your unit. last time my unit always got the small crockroach come in. bomb every year also will find them inside every now and then. initially thought got nest inside behind the kidchen cabinets, etc... but usually they come from outside or hide behind the walls, etc... They usually come in via the pipes or cracks in the tap/tile area

Ridiculous idea as most condos won't allow pets, plus they bring other issues of their own (think poop, fleas). doh.gif

Roaches can enter condo easily from logistic. In example, if you buy gas tank or exchange one, the gaps in the tanks have hidden roaches that piap2 and lay eggs in the as well. If you are lucky, you get those mini roach breeds. If unlucky... those standard American roaches will suddenly spawn since they could easily hide and eat little debris to adulthood.

Even if you are clean, that doesn't repel any cockroaches to enter, since your house will have orifices and gaps everywhere. Neighbor screwed up by bringing roaches to their house, they can just run to your house to breed.

Best is to get those dry food poison and place every potential area of roach hiding spot and let the poison works its charm.

hard to stop roach infest if you stay near the garbage room. no matter how clean you are, there will be roaches.

best way is to use roach bait, once in a while. as there is no way of completely killing them, as the source is not in your house. only way is to minimize it.

I am not sure if true but people say higher floors less likely to have roaches.

My own high rise not having this issue.
