They can fly & survive inside your unit sewer system, be it landed or highrise.

No issue with my unit. But we don't have rubbish room on every floor. All rubbish is to be brought down to ground floor rubbish collection point.

Getting Started

|
In my case, the roaches were coming up from the sewer pipes up through the sink because the pop up sink drain stopper was damaged and could not close and the outlet pipe doesn't have a water trap. After I replaced the sink drain with a normal strainer and plugged the overflow hole there were no roaches any more. Another case was the kitchen drain grate cover which was pushed up because accumulated cooking fat and other stuff was blocking the pipe. After unclogging the pipe, roaches couldn't climb up anymore because the normal water level and the grate cover will stop them.
I've seen a roach coming out of the shower grate which could not properly close in a friend's house, so thats one way roaches can get inside, that had to be fixed by changing the shower drain to an insect proof one. Condos also have to worry about air vents and improperly sealed piping.
I don't believe most houses should have roaches if they are kept clean and well maintained.

Last time I move to one condo got this issue, tot got 2-3 only, once but bait, next morning saw more than 10
Since then I just leave the poison bait there and never have cockroach issue anymore, 10 years d, and yes my unit near to trash area. Also I bought the strap that slide under door one to prevent pests entering

At my condo, for the past 5 years I have never seen a single cockroach or lizard. Only sometime which is very rare I see mosquito which I am amaze how high the mofo can climb I’ve seen more dogs than cockroach Credit I guess goes to the pest control that is frequently done. Even garbage room despite the smell can’t find a single cockroach or lizard This is one reason why I choose high rise
