Nothing much. There is some distinct pungent smell when they get squished but they don't really smell like anything. I had to research roaches recently, and read that it takes 100 days for a roach to reach maturity. When they breed, the female lugs around an egg case that contains about 40 eggs, and it takes 30 days before they hatch. This means that it takes a long time before an infestation grows out of control l, and it takes many generations of destroying them before you get back under manageable levels. The good news though is that they will die off on their own without access to water and the population will go down dramatically. Plug all drains. Don't leave dishes with water or food in the sink. Vacuum every day, empty the vac outside in a sealed bag. Remove all sources of food
Seal all openings and gaps around baseboards, windows and cabinets with painter's caulk or expanding foam and look for them in narrow spaces such as drawer slides and inside appliances. Search for warm places near baseboard heaters or areas where hot water pipe might run. They are wired to look for tight places as they provide safety from "predators" like humans. They don't really have natural predators due to their large population: if you get a lizard, it might eat one or two roaches a day but it will not put a dent in their population. Place sticky traps, they are super effective at catching roaches. Do note that the grunt of the work will be done by vacuuming. Traps will act as monitors, and if you're lucky you might catch an egg case before it hatches.
I caught another with an egg case hiding inside the tiny caster wheels of some rolling wire shelf.
So you left food and water out and put borax once 40 years ago and that's it? Lol. Lmao even. Do you know that it can take a month before the wienerroach dies from poisoning? You might have sprayed the house and still seen some, then thought "this shit sux", went for the borax and saw them fall like flies without making the link.
I did mention that sticky traps are for control and monitoring. I said nothing about sprays and other bait. The only bait that really works is picrel. It is very effective, but it's expensive and you need a permit to buy it (not hard to get, just annoying). Diatomaceous earth mixed with a bit of borax along roach traffic areas is effective to contain them in one area. The ones that dare cross will die of dehydration.
we sprayed the house multiple times over several years. we bombed it, we had exterminators come out over several years. we put food up, we did all that. after the house had been bombed there would be thousands of dead roaches EVERYWHERE. none of that worked long term (over 10 plus years).
one treatment with boric acid killed them all in less than a month. Never to return.
hell they don't even have to directly eat it. they just walk through it and later when they clean themselves, yes roaches clean themselves they eat the boric acid and die from a ruptured gut. because get this skippy... roaches can't fart or burp. the boric acid reacts with their digestive juices killing them from the inside out.
I can vouch for this. My friend had a terrible infestation and it was the only thing that worked for him. I also wiped out ants in my apartment with boric acid and peanut butter

In high school, I was invited to a Halloween party by one of my friends. She had the biggest roach infestation I could even imagine. Roaches on the door handles, on the faucet, on the walls, on every surface. The baby wasn't even allowed on the floor anymore because it got caught eating roaches.
Basically, roaches smell like roaches. Along with rotten food and humidity, soggy carpet stench. For people to have that many roaches, their house usually already has an overpowering stench.
I've lived in apartments full of roaches so many I could feed my Jack Dempsey cichlid and he'd go crazy when the door opened and i came in from work cuz he knew it was roach dinner time and i never smelled a thing unlike cat lady houses you can smell from across the street
>What does a roach infestation smell like?
cant speak for roaches but when i was looking for shithole houses to buy in the city, I saw plenty that had rats infestations and other critters. One that were out on the countryside smelled like sulphur and hay. It smelled like a strong barnyard smell in there.
I can imagine that roach shit and old food may smell similarly
Musty, cloying oily smell.
Or maybe that's just how the domiciles of low-class Mexicans tend to smell. Personal experience from working property management in SoCal for a few years.
like rotten food on the floor and week-old dirty dishes piled high.
Fishy
It’s funny… there’s no new colours to be seen by anybody throughout our lifetimes, but there is still new smells.
How do I describe it. It’s a bit acrid, musty. It’s not all that bad, but it’s usually mixed with the smell of
chrysanthemum. It’s a bit nauseating.
Yeah it's a sickly sweet smell
Dont know i dont associate with filthy people

Your mom's pussy smells like that.

no. none of this is what actually works.
boric acid mixed with a small amount of powdered sugar sprinkled in all the dark places of in a house.
it's the only thing that worked in my mothers house.
traps
sprays
bombs
exterminator companies.
none of that worked until I put boric acid everywhere. house has been roach free for 40 years.

I can vouch for this. My forte is teflon and budgies, but the fields have much in common.
listen skippy.

Why do yids require permits and background checks for every single product and activity now?

No pic
My bad, anon.
Roach shit certainly has a particular smell to it. I can't think of how to describe it though.
Boric acid

my mothers house was infested with them as a kid. I can recognize that smell anywhere.

Smells a lot like those illegal israelite tunnels
Ever been in public transit during rush hour in the middle of summer?
Bagels.
Ive never smelled roaches. I wouldn’t set foot in a dwelling that housed such vile creatures.
Just trying to imagine is odious
disgusting frickers found a candy on the ground, i'm surprised they don't fight over it.
>, i'm surprised they don't fight over it.
And yet this thread is full of scorn for them. Their just living in your house trying to provide for their children.

I don’t care what people say, I’d rather have roaches than bed bugs.
