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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I walked out the back door of my place of employment and looked down to see a huge cockroach. This is quite a normal occurrence, so I thought nothing of it until I realized it was struggling to drag the corpse of one of its friends into the building. FML
Today, a colony of ants announced that they'd moved into my bedroom closet as I went to get dressed for work. FML
Today, I found thousands of ants in a secret nest in an unused corner of my apartment. They were feeding on the baking mix I forgot in a box from moving in two months ago, and the queen has been laying her eggs on my wireless router. FML
Today, I found out that my new roommate likes to put candy on the floor, let ants crawl all over it, and eats it. Ants and all. FML
Today, I found a New Year's surprise: a cockroach in my kitchen drawers. FML
Today, I got up, curtains still closed, and in the dim light noticed something dark on the floor, which wasn’t there yesterday. I turned on the light to find out what it was. A tiny ant hill. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, so I made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informed me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. 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, while I was standing in the elevator with a few people I just met when I moved in yesterday, I felt something fall on my hair and dusted it off. It was a cockroach. None of them will come within a 1m distance to me now, because they all think I've got lice. Welcome to the building! FML

Didn't you know roaches are what power the outlets? And the ants are the only things small enough to install them into the outlets for you??

Well, that's a bit odd... looks like to me ants are living in the walls and you got roaches also... have an exterminator come in by your own means or show them a pic of what's going on...

That's why I don't mind some bugs, they take care of the roaches which are far worst then anything else. Ants can be taken care of fairly easily.

Those ants seem pretty good to me. They show so much teamwork and camaraderie in trying to bring home the meal. The Motherland would be proud of that communal effort.

I feel your pain. At my last apartment we had everything from mice to black widows, and the management would do nothing about it. But you can- get sticky traps from Walmart (like a pack of four for two bucks) and lay them around the problem places. It should help. And you can wait it out until your contract ends and move out like I did or get legal details brought into it making the dorms do something about it. Either way you have the power to at least try and change your situation

The fact that you lived with black widows is one of the scariest things I've ever read. I'm terrified of spiders but that one scares me the most. That's what happens when you learn about spiders via. Discovery channel.

Yah the worst part is that we put up those sticky traps to catch them- which they really did work. They caught everything. The mice, all kinds of bugs and spiders. But one day I looked in and a black widow was in there but it wasn't stuck, it had made a web and was living in it.

I used to be an RA. Take pictures. Seriously. If there's no photographic proof, a university or college will pretend it didn't happen. Show them pictures and they'll jump in because they want to avoid any public "scandal".
