One of the ways you can help reduce the risk of roaches, rodents, and bed bugs in your residence is through basic sanitation and maintenance.
This gentleman wasn't really using his fridge (above) for much other than storage of knickknacks and chachkees. Cockroaches were enjoying it. I suggested that he try to straighten it up in between deliveries of takeout.
His bed was full of bedbugs, but his living room (second picture) didn't have much furniture. Still his recliner did have some bedbugs, and it's an important reminder that bed bugs will tend to congregate anywhere people sit, such as Citi Bikes.
Mice and cockroaches were living in his kitchen. Plastic bags kept like this tend to attract all sorts of pests. Obviously, you never know when you're going to need a plastic bag, so I get the impetus behind collecting them. But just be aware that there's a downside.
I decided not to include any pictures of the bedroom.
Ew York City will be back next week.
