pest infestation

By Carol

 I just moved into an apt with ny daughter 

a week ago and the the very first night I noticed I had roaches and fleas in my apartment. I reported it the very next day and the apartment manager was quick to schedule a local company to come and fumigate. They came three days in a row to spray, but the problem has not been resolved yet. My daughter and I have flea bites all over and not to mention the fumes are causing us to get headaches and my daughter has been having nose bleeds. The apartment is infested with roaches and I cant have any food in my pantry because they are all over it, forcing me to keep everything in my fridge. I have asked the property manager to move me to another unit but he refused and gave me the option to break my lease. The problem is I dont have the money to pay another deposit, app fees, etc. I cannot keep living with pests which are harmful to both my daughter and I. What can I do?

Hey Carol,

Once my friend also having this kind of same issue of roaches and flies unwanted bites here and there, Even after fumigate the issue remain unresolved. RPA resolves such kind of cases more quickly with very effective. Here money is also one of the factor for replacing the same . It becomes very hectic, When it come to your daughter also. Rate the landlord for making negative public record if he didn’t support for same
