I hate to say this, but in my very first apartment, there were roaches. Yes, I moved immediately, but how could I know the bugs didn’t travel with me? Well, we put everything into a U-Haul to move. As soon as we arrived at my new apartment, I set off a fogger in the trailer and let it sit overnight.
This procedure works well if you are storing your belongings in a storage unit, start the bomb off 24 hours before you go in to transport everything into your new home.
The nice thing about using the bomb in a U-Haul is that the spray doesn’t get on your walls. So, don’t forget to cover bare and upholstered furniture with old sheets that you can later wash.
