So...roomie and I have been battling roaches since we moved into our apartment. We have only 2 months left on our lease and we are definitely NOT renewing it. Lately we've had a LOT of roaches...the past few days we've had 3 big, german roaches, at least 5 smaller american roaches, and a couple palmetto bugs. Whenever we tell the office of our complex, they insist that it's just palmetto bugs and that EVERYONE in Florida gets them...it's normal. First of all, we know what a palmetto is. While we get them occasionally, we also get german AND american roaches. In addition...a palmetto is classified as a TYPE OF ROACH. So Idon't want to hear that "everyone gets them." Their lease agreement says they are in charge of dealing with roaches...and so far they have really sucked at it.
Today, roomie had a huge german roach in her room. After it was killed...she put it in a bag and TOOK it the office. She put it on the desk of the manager who keeps insisting it's just palmettos...they said they would send someone out today. So a guy came out with like...the same shitty chemicals they've been spraying since we got here. It they haven't worked in 8 months...they aren't going to freaking work now.
I feel so stressed out just WALKING into my apartment. Like I physically tense up. I get really anxious, nervous, scared. I HATE roaches. I told them this before we moved in. I said if there are no bugs, everything will be great. But if there are, I will be in there office constantly. But no matter how many times we go there about this, NOTHING gets fixed. They refuse to let us move to a different apartment in the complex without having to pay a full months rent in addition to what we already pay just a few to move rooms.
I haven't slept well in weeks because I'm so anxious and stressed about this. I will sleep for about ten minutes and wake up. I'll stay awake for 5 minutes and then just repeat.
I don't know how I can deal with this for two more months. I'm so tired and stressed all the time. OTL
