Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

What a disgusting story!
Roach spray - hello cancer! Hope they don't have pets.
I think plain old non-toxic baking soda does the trick.
Not baking soda, Anonymous #1, you're probably thinking of boric acid.
Mix a little granulated sugar with boric acid crystals and sweep it into the baseboard cracks. Boric acid is a roach stomach poison, but it also gets wedged between the plates of a roach's exoskeleton, causing it to dry out and die. When used properly, boric acid is a much safer indoor alternative to poison sprays. However, it's useless in areas exposed to rain or constant high humidity.
I'd bet that the house causing the infestation has water leaks - and probably mold too. The owner should check the water and heating pipes and remove any wet wallboard/flooring. Roaches can live for weeks without food, but only a day or two without moisture. They won't breed unless there's a reliable water source nearby. Sometimes simply fixing drips and eliminating condensation is enough to make them move elsewhere. - Andrew
This house needs to be bombed professionally...possibly 2 or even 3 times. And as above mentioned all leaks have to be abated!
I like roaches.
What's the address on the house? I refuse to watch this video. ::shudders::
Don't forget to smoke the roaches.
More examples of slumlords who do not properly take care of their properties and don't care who they rent to as long as they make a buck.
