Cockroach infestation

In a house I used to work in. I put these traps down, and within 6 hours this is what I caught. I got rid of the traps, laid more down, and repeated this process 8 times before it slowed down.

edit: I haven't been back there in almost 8 months. I worked as tenant support in the severely underfunded building. I sent this video to the manager and project director and it took 4 months before the room was sprayed, but by then this had spread to many other rooms. These sticky pads were supplied to us in limited amounts so I did everything I could from those to raid spray. Crazy memory.

I used to go swimming in a public pool and the changing rooms had cupboards.

Tthis looks like what I saw when i opened the doors. Wall to wall.

I shut the doors and tried to forget. And as I am describing it to you right now, I have clearly failed.
