You can't control what the other tenants are doing, i. e. leaving food out, not cleaning up spills, leaving openings for them to get into, and they will inevitably spread from those 'lost' parts of the building back to yours no matter how many times you eradicate the ones you can see.\n\nI waged open war on cockroaches at my Raleigh apartment a few years ago when I was in college. I turned the temperature way down, cleaned everything til it shone, never left food out, never ate in my room, bought sticky traps and poison traps, bombed the room twice, left the lights on, duct taped all gaps and they still came back. They always come back. There are literally hundreds of bugs in the area for each one that you see. They don't like to be seen. The ones you catch are the idiots. The smart ones are holed up in the crevices, eating the shit your roommates leave out and biding their time.\n\nGod have mercy on your soul.", "Ok.

The dust is annoying, but it seems with pervasive creatures the only thing you can do is entice them to destroy themselves.\n\nOnce we even had a FLYING one and it was terrifying. I hated it so badly. I had two little kids and we lived in a nice area (Park Slope) but I worried everyone's ears would be invaded in their sleep.\n\nMy ex-husband, bless his horrifying Irish heart, once got out of bed, stepped on a giant roach barefoot, THEN GOT THE FUCK BACK IN BED WITH ME AS IF HIS FOOT WASN'T COVERED IN ROACH GUTS.\n\nThis fucking guy.", "Look at Diatomaceous Earth.

It's got to be the brown stuff in a tube, not the other Combat products. \n\nYou put a little dab here and there in out of sight places where roaches go. The roaches eat it, go back to the nest where other roaches congregate. Roaches have a habit of grooming each other (my bro's thesis was on this), so the poison gets spread to all. After a few days, you'll suddenly realize you haven't been seeing any roaches.\n\nOther products, like Bengal Roach Spray, work, but only if you spray the roach directly. People like it because it is quick, and you get to watch the roach do a nifty death dance. But it is not very effective, because you probably have 50-100 roaches for every one that you see.", "No advice, since everyone has given it, so here is a story instead.\n\nI lived in an apartment that had cockroaches, and the owners were having it treated.

They love the stuff, and it will basically drug and kill them. They start to act weird and drunk. They are tons of videos on how to apply it. Basically in dots along the walls and in corners.\nThen get some gentrol point source and place them in places near the roaches, but away from any open food. This will keep them from breeding anymore. You'll see their wings all crinkly, that means they are not going to breed anymore.\nGood luck, you can do it.\n", "Here's what helps me get rid of roaches- \nMix boric acid powder, flour and milk. Make small balls and stick them in all corners of the house. I've found that spreading plain boric acid doesn't help much. I usually have boric acid at home for carrom boards but you should be able to get one easily online.\n", "Ex-exterminator here. You should get a professional in and have him do a follow up in about three months.\n\nOr, if you want to DIY, use a product like [this one](http://www.terro.com/terro-scorpion-killer-spray); a *residual contact insecticide* with a crack and crevice attachment. Cockroaches like to hide in dark places, so you'll want to inject a little insecticide into any crack or crevice you see, basically everywhere in your apartment. That's why the attachment is so important. Also, it sounds like you'll need *a lot* of insecticide. Think like 5-10 cans.\n\nCracks and crevices means, for instance, where a door frame has separated from the wall, the narrow gap between your stove and the cabinets, the crack between the wall and the backsplash on your countertops, all the little seams where the various parts of your cupboards and cabinets fit together--list goes on. Get down on your hands and knees and poke around with a flashlight, you'll be surprised at all the little nooks and crannies there are in your kitchen and bathroom. \n\nVery important to dribble some insecticide down the wall behind your cupboards. Get on a stool and have a look at the top of your cupboards and you'll probably see a nice, long, roach friendly crack where the cupboards are attached to the wall. Sometimes there's void space at the ends of the cupboards. Check from below and spray as necessary. I've seen thousands come out of places like this.\n\nYou will also need to treat dark void spaces as well. The kick space under your kitchen and bathroom cabinets (there's often a gap between the top of the kickboard and the floor of the cabinet where you can get access--modern kickboards can be pulled off and replaced by hand), the gaps the in wall where the plumbing comes out, the electrical boxes behind all of your electric outlets, lights and switchplates, and especially the warm area around the compressor in the back of your fridge. You'll have to pull your appliances away from the wall to get at the back of them. If you have a dishwasher you'll have to remove the kickplate and spray underneath and around it as much as you can. Roaches love kitchen appliances. Coat their entire back and side surfaces as well as the wall behind them. \n\nSurface spraying where roaches hide or travel is very effective too. Spray all your baseboards--roaches like to travel along the bases of wall. One of the things that you can do that a professional probably wouldn't is spray all the interior surfaces of your cupboard and cabinets. Clear everything out first (duh), and then just spray everything down--back of cupboard doors and hinges included. Once the stuff is dry, you can put everything back. I wouldn't worry about contaminating food or dishes, so long as you exercise some common sense. \n\nSpeaking of food. Roaches love cardboard boxes, so get rid of all of them. Cereal and pasta should go in sealed tubs, so you can chuck the boxes they come in. Also, forget about recycling for a while--piles of broken down boxes and stacks of newspaper are super roach friendly so just chuck that stuff out. Same with all your other recycling--just ditch it until you've got the roaches under control.\n\nYou'll probably need to repeat the entire process one or two more times, then maintain a really clean kitchen after that. In apartment buildings roaches travel from suite to suite along the plumbing so keeping fresh roach traps under your sinks and whatnot might prevent reinfestation. \n\nGood luck!\n\n", "We had this problem when we moved into our new house. We cleaned EVERYWHERE and were very strict on making sure no food was left out, but those bastards kept coming back. Apparently, they'll eat the glue off stuff if you don't leave them regular human food. We tried Diatomaceous Earth, but they walked around it.

Once you open the grocery store packaging seal, you have open food.\n\nIf you do these things and roaches do not go away, you have a nasty ass person living near you and you want to consider moving.

", "Here is the deal: roaches can survive a nuclear holocaust. This means they are not easy to get rid of. They live in the walls. You live in an apartment so they may not even be in a place where there is much you can do about the source. Additionally. Roaches prefer to stay in the walls with the exception of little food/water searches. They can tell when you're coming and tend to hide so Most people with roaches never see them. If you do see them it means they are spilling out due to overcrowding. I'm not trying to scare you but this shit is serious. The only real thing you can do is call the landlord because the pest control for this situation is going to go on in the area not just your single apartment. You can not do this on your own it is not possible.\n\nThat being said, one thing about roaches is that they cannibalize their own. This means if you poison one it will go back to the den and others will eat it and get poisoned. I found that spray can make the one that goes by wonky but it won't help for the rest. One of the more effective tools I found are those little black poison thingies like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RChdMEsZHLE/TjKEDtij_3I/AAAAAAAAAPw/elEppuO4qEk/s1600/iStock_000008869295XSmall.jpg\n\nBut seriously that may help but there is now way you can do this on your own.", "Get boric acid.

If they don't call a professional exterminator, threaten to call the city/state health department, or call your tenant's union, they'll know what to do. If you call an exterminator, first of all you'll have to pay for it, second they'll only spray in YOUR apartment, not all your neighbors. Your neighbors' roaches will just move into your place after a while.\n1. If you have pets, use something like diatomaceous earth to keep them from reinfesting. If do don't have pets, go ahead and use the poison traps, but not anywhere you might keep food. Use diatomaceous earth in your cabinets etc.\n1. Keep everything clean.", " Call the landlord and get an email address from him. send him the complaint through the e-mail. Every time you call him about the situation e-mail him that you called and what was agreed upon. Pretty sure one of your neighbors who shares a wall floor or ceiling in the source go speak to all of them and urge them to do the same. If nothing else you might find out who started it and get them evicted.\n I can't remember what the groups are called but there are legal and state backed groups which will act as a middle man for rent. you pay the rent to the association and the landlord only gets it once he has made repairs/fumigated.\n If you can't find one of the rent associations or whatever they are called simply get an exterminator and subtract the cost from the rent. Get receipts. Make sure you have e-mails going back and forth for a day or two first. If he tries to take you to small claims court then he is sort of screwed.\n Check the lease, if you have one. maybe he put it's all your responsibility. if so, you are going to have to do it the hard way.\n The place I used to live in was a tear down, but landlord didn't mind if we didn't pay rent and repaired or took care of issues instead as long as we had receipts and deducted like $10 and hour per person who helped repair/ take care of issue(s). In the beginning we didn't pay rent to him for like a year after the initial first and last month thing. If on your own fill every hole and crack with drywall putty. Caulk anything that can't be filled in no matter how small, pinholes and all. Look at every spot on the corners of the walls, ceilings, doorways, windows, baseboards, gas connections, inside of heater boxes, pipes, under sink, etc. If there are heater vents get tiny holed window screen and place it over vents, caulk around the vent and new screen. Make it so that the roaches that are in your apartment are stuck inside and none can get out and none can come in. Make sure to get a rubber dragger strip for doors leading outside, basically a rubber squeegee for the doors. \n Once the apartment is sealed and dry buy a few commercial bug bombs such as raid/combat or whatever. Now get a vacuum with a hose, extender, and crevice tools. If you have carpets you might want to toss them or get a vacuum with a carpet cleaner. You will have to steam as well. Bug bomb the house.\n While out all day bug bombing go buy some poisons (such as suggested in other replies). If you want to go natural use boric acid or diatomaceous earth, will work but will take longer, alternate if possible as you vacuum it up daily. Now after the first night after the poisoning comes the disgusting part. vacuum every single corner, cabinet, dark spot you have in your house in search of the dead bodies. Move everything around to vacuum it all. You will have to repeat daily, sometimes twice a day. Now use the other poisons and/or powders." ]

[ "I had several history classes that required outlines. I would look up outlines for that book online (coursenotes.com is what I used. I think) and base my outline off that as well as the book to make sure I didn't miss important things. I also organized my outlines by people, places, dates, laws, and other for history classes. I then put page numbers after each fact, that way it was easy to find things quickly. ", "Typically there are summaries toward the end of a chapter. Read these first, before reading the chapter. It will help you seek out important sections.\n\nSometimes its easiest to just quickly read through main sections/headings. Sometimes you can do an outline this way - based on titles/headings and write a little something about each part.\n\nDon't worry about small details, just pick out the main topics/ideas. Sometimes its easy to get caught up on a small detail, but headings, summaries, bolded text and what-not is the main focus you should highlight.", "Start reading the chapter. As you come to key ideas, jot them down in your outline. Continue until the chapters for the week are done. This will not only satisfy your homework requirement, but it will help you retain the knowledge better because you've already recorded it yourself by hand. As yet another bonus, the outlines will serve as good study guides later.", "If you have the time/money to spare I'd really suggest you take a speed reading course. At least in the one I took through Penn State, we learned about efficient note taking technique along with speed reading. \n\nThe biggest thing I took out of the class is to skim through the chapter first to see how it's organized. A lot of textbooks have sections and subsections, which will help you get a feel of how to break everything down.\n\n Once you get into the subsections you want to try to summarize each paragraph in a few bullet points. Don't forget to include anything that's defined or in bold/italics as those concepts tend to be important.", "I would try to summarize the chapter and each subheading in one or two sentences. Then expand from there as needed. It sort of depends on the length requirements of the assignment and what you are studying. Can you give more info?" ]

[ "One of my first surprises was from Ali*, 22, from Maine. It was a hot spring day and she visited for a deep-tissue massage because of college term tension. After the initial intake procedure, I informed her about the standard options for the massage session, I left the room and returned a few minutes later to find her lying on her back, uncovered, with a suppressed smile on her face, her perky breasts and nipples fully exposed.\nObviously, this was not one of the massage “options” I gave her and I was a bit taken aback and asked if she wanted the massage uncovered. She said that’s what she prefers so I proceeded the massage session as she liked it but asked her to lie face-down and placed a hand towel over her mid section.\nBy the middle of the massage, she was perceptibly moving her body and making low erotic noises. I fed her lascivious desires with slow, deep, long-flowing strokes, teasingly caressing her erogenous parts from her head to feet, my intuitive hands responding as her body throbbed with libido, a libido that was obviously looking for some kind of climatic expression. After an hour, she turned face-up.\nNot surprisingly, there was a wet spot where her midbody was, on the black silky cotton sheet that covered the massage couch.\nHer perky breasts and nipples looked like they were bursting with pleasure, firm like Pink grapefruits. Ali was ready to climax. As inexperienced as I was at the time, I assumed she wanted intercourse and was about to oblige when she firmly took my hand and indicated she wanted a digital orgasm. (The phrase “happy ending” was not yet in vogue.) Almost 2 hours had passed, she had a huge orgasm and she left me with a surprisingly big tip for a college student.\nMy career as a provider of happy ending/pleasure provider for women had just begun.\nOver the next several years, I had many more experiences of women indicating in different ways that they wanted to engage their feminine sexual energy in the massage session. These women do not fit any stereotype and came (no pun intended) from a broad social spectrum in more or less within the age group I mentioned above.\nKatie* was 34 of Italian/German background and came in because of back pain and tension headaches. It turned out she was in a relationship with a guy who never took the time to really explore and appreciate her physical needs and desires. She came in for a 90-minute massage and I attended to all the tight and sore places on her neck and back.\nAfter the first sixty minutes, Katie’s body started to signal her sexual center. There’s something about extended touch and caress that tends to release the most potent chemicals of the sexual centers of a woman who’s in need of physical and emotional attention.\nBy the end of the session it was clear she was enjoying the touch experience beyond its remedial value; Katie desperately wanted to cum. She apologized and asked if she could masturbate. I offered to help and she quickly asked me to suck and gently bite her hard, brown nipples while she stroked her clitoris to an explosive orgasm.\nAfter a few years of increasing occasional request from women for erotic massage, I decided to give up my massage practice and focus exclusively on providing pleasure for women.\nI have learned a lot about the art of erotic touch. I actually hate the term “happy ending.” It’s a vulgar, cheap phrase suited for the sleazy “massage parlors” that cater to men who are looking for a quickie in 15, 30 and 60-minutes sessions. And from what I understand of the female psyche, most women find the “happy ending” model of an erotic engagement outside of a romantic relationship to be repellent.\nAs a matter of fact, “repellent” was the exact word Laura* used to describe “happy ending” massages,when she called to make an appointment for my 90-minute erotic body rub. Laura was a former corporate executive, 39, married with 2 kids.\nShe was a woman with much passion for life but still trying to find her own grounds about her sexuality and her right to enjoy gratification that she wasn’t getting from her husband of 12 years. She confided that “he finds my breasts and vagina very easily, sometimes I let him have his way, much to my dismay, despite my pleas that I need more than his cock inside of me for a few minutes.”\nOn the day she called me, Laura was still ambivalent about the ‘adventure’ she was contemplating, but ultimately went for it due to her sexual deprivation that was slowly killing her soul, body and mind.\nShe needed to feel, she said. I rubbed her irresistible light brown body until she was relaxed and receptive and my intuitive hands were in sync with the deep desires that welled up inside her. I teased every hot spot on her body until she was saturated inside out with love hormones and viscous tasty juices.\nIt was over two hours of unconditional erotic touching when she broke out in spasmodic vibrations and intense writhing until she climaxed with a suppressed roar from deep inside her and finally rested in a comfortable snuggled position until she was back to earth again.\nThere are many more juicy stories but the point is that “happy endings” for women are sex-positive and a great learning experience that can benefit marriages.", "Well I can't really top that but I remember hearing a story from one of my teachers. I can't confirm it's true but apparently whenever the Wright brothers had an argument they would try and argue each other's sides so they could see from a different perspective and understand the flaws in their own views.\n\nIf there's something you agree with instead of thinking of the reasons why it's good try and list as many bad things. By being able to look at something from more than one angle it really helps elevate your writing." ]
