Today, an exterminator sprayed for cockroaches in my dorm room. After classes I got back to find three large cockroaches on top of my bed. Now that the exterminator has sprayed everything, all the cockroaches are coming out. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, I hired an exterminator to get the roaches out of the house I'm renting. I came back from work and went to my bathroom, noticing that he used the plunger to unclog the toilet after he took a dump. After $150, there was shit all over my floor and plunger, and roaches still in my kitchen. FML
Today, when I got back to my dorm, I found a trail of ants trying to shove a dead roach into a power outlet. The front desk insists that there is no pest problem. FML
Today, I finally got some sleep after an exterminator came yesterday and took care of our roach problem. I woke up and kissed my boyfriend good morning. Frowning, he told me I had something stuck on the corner of my mouth. It was a roach leg. Where is the rest of the roach? FML
Today, I turned on my A/C for the first time in a couple of months. A family of ginormous cockroaches climbed out of the air vent and a few clumps of dead cockroaches fell to the ground. FML
Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML
Today, I was cooking dinner when I noticed a cockroach on the kitchen counter. I reflexively tried to spray it with what I had to hand, which was window cleaner, but it seems to have pissed it off and flew right at me instead. I screamed and ran out of the kitchen, leaving the roach in charge. FML
Today, my roommate showed me a video of a cockroach crawling all over my face while I was asleep in the lounge. FML
Today, after my dad trying every bait, hormone, and poison, the cockroaches in this apartment have gone crazy. They are trying to kill themselves. One tried to commit suicide, by suffocation, in my mouth this morning. FML
Today, my apartment was flooded due to a broken pipe, which caused a huge family of cockroaches to disperse. Did you know they can fly? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, it's 2012, lady! You can't expect cockroaches to stay in the closet forever.

You should've called "Billy the exterminator". He at LEAST cleans them up for you... :) (love that show)

Well at least now you can donate them to the biology's insect department. They exchange money in some places for certain specimens at times. Good luck cleaning OP.

The spray attracts them and kills them. You'll hopefully see results aka not see roaches after about 2-3 weeks

I used to work at a pest control company. The products are meant to draw out the bugs, then it kills them off after a couple days. So just give it a couple more days, and those pesty cockroaches will be gone

OP, you could try to mix boric acid (you can find it in pharmacies) with something insects will eat, like condensed milk, flour or sugar. Leave small quantities of the mix where the roaches go, like under/behind furniture, or under/behind the sink. They'll eat it and die. You can also mix plaster and flour and do the same. Then it'll give them bowel obstruction and kill them too. You can also use double sided tape that you stick wherever they like to go to catch them. There are lots of suggestions like these on the net too, if it doesn't work. In any case, obviously, make sure to only leave your boric acid or plaster mix where kids or pets can't reach it. Good luck getting rid of the roaches!
