Damn dude, those things really suck. I would worry about it to. They like moisture so if they find your tubs I bet they'd hang out.

Off the top of my head I'd try using monotubs. The polyfill stuffed holes might stop them from getting in unlike a flipped lid or dub tub with those big ole cracks.

Something else you could try is put your tub on a table, and the legs of the table surrounded by Diatematious(sp?) earth, or soapy water, something to stop them climbing up the table legs.

Yeah I use Boric Acid here in my apartment.

But this place is in the middle of the city and is a very old complex with 3 floors and over 100 apartments in my building alone.

If only I could get them all to get their shit together, but that ain't happenin.

If you have a roach fest in a old building you probably have mold to which is not nice.

Definitely. It's a constant struggle in my bathroom because my wife likes to take long bath and I enjoy very hot and steamy showers.

We're in there with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide to clean up the tiles at least once a week to keep it lookin nice.

I Think i'll probably have to get one of those mini in house green houses i've seen used on here to shelve all my tubs.

That might help with both the pests and the mold.

Oh yeah I got 5 pf tek jars going right now for some meditation in the coming months.

I know those little fucks ain't getting through the jar for now.

I was more worried about fruiting time and if they are interested in the fruits themselves.

They steal my weed all the time from my smoke drawer and I was wondering if they are like super attracted to cube mushrooms like say onions.  They freak out over onions. It's so gross.

As stated they like cold dark damp places so I am about 99% they will find your boxes. Seriously though buy some bug bombs like let 2 or 3 off in your house. I'm talking about the toxic ones that you have to leave for a few hours no pretty safe shit. Then they will just go to the neighbors and maybe you can fit 1 grow in before they come back.

---

That's illegal man. I'll kill my 2 floors worth of upstairs neighbors and their baby. Maybe?

Anyways, read up on the rest of the thread and you'll see even if I could bomb this specific apartment the hundreds of others that have been infested for the past 60 years will likely be unaffected.

Mabye use mushrooms as a weapon for cockroaches?
Paul Staments has been pretty successful on using mushrooms to combat a verity of insect issues. Such as using Cordyceps and so fourth. May also be a pretty good way to expand the us fullness of the hobby.

[0003]
The present invention relates to the use of fungal mycelium as a biopesticide. More particularly, the invention relates to the control and destruction of insects, including carpenter ants, fire ants, termites, flies, beetles, cockroaches and other pests, using fungal mycelia as both attractant and infectious agent.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US8501207

, U.S. Pat. No. 6,254,864 (2001) to Stimac et al. discloses dry powder Beauveria bassiana spore and spore/mycelium compositions for control of cockroaches and ants including carpenter ants, pharaoh ants and fire ants. U.S. Pat. No. 4,925,663 (1990)

Holy shit, I love that guy lol. Have you seen his podcast on Joe Rogan Experience? One of the best interviews i've seen yet.

---

Yeah watched em all, good stuff. Joe is a great interviewer. I have been watching lots of mushroom related stuff over the last year and just find the fungal world amazing.
Even if these methods don't destroy the colony they may even sense the presence of the spores and mycelium and know to stay the hell away. Might be a worth looking into. Not sure of the skill level required for harvesting certain species but I know you can get Cordyceps spores online. Might even be able to contact him or his colleagues and get samples of what you need.
Just a thought.

Bomb yours, not illegal. Then seal up cracks with foaming insulation and caulk. Get weatherstripping for your doors and windows. In your cabinets and under your sink area check where pipes go into the walls and seal them.
Yea maybe this is stuff the apartment should handle but you're also trying to grow drugs so pony up and fix your own place up. Buy some barrier control insect spray like ortho home defense max. Reapply it every 2-3 months it's cheap like 13$ for a couple gallon sprayer.

Mix diatomaceous earth and borax together. Sprinkle it everywhere stomp it in then vacuum the next day to get up excess in visible living areas.

Also paul stamets filed a patent based on a theory that you could control insects with Cordyceps
This isnt the first time he's tried to sell nothing to people or word other people's work as his own. Like with mycoremediation where he is only a news reporter, but makes it seem like he's on the cutting edge of the development and research.
The more you learn about mushrooms the more Paul sucks
