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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 awful! I'm sorry OP. If they won't listen to you, Residence Life have to listen to your parents since they're the ones often paying for your tuition. Last semester one of my friends had bed bugs and the bites to proove it too. However, Res Life did nothing until her parents called. Best of luck with your pest problem!

The ants are trying to get rid of your pest problem, they're throwing it out for you...just not through the right exit. They're your exterminators.

It doesn't seem like a pest problem, lol. The ants are ridding the pests for you!

Reminds me of when a tornado broke my dorm bedroom window and they didn't come fix it until we were moving out.

No way! March into the Housing Administration office on campus and tell them. If they still do nothing, call the county health dept.

Take lots of pictures and if they still refuse to do anything about it threaten to release the photos to the public and media. The school should do something about it especially if there's a shitstorm on the horizon. Make sure you take down the names of those that refused to help you when you complain as well, take it as high up the ranks as you can!

Sounds like this guy that lived in my dorm hall. Had 4 mice in his room and the people are the reception desk didn't believe him...until he brought 3 dead mice and 1 living one in a box to the front desk. Even after that all they did was give him mouse traps AFTER he'd killed all the mice.

I'd just video tape it and prove it to them.
