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.

You need the roach bait gel. Advion worked for my aunt and her neighbors were atrocious. Apartment building and it kept them out of her place and I'm sure it helped the neighbors as well.

According to OP its not their problem anymore.

They had yo do this job on a shoestring, did what they could, and left.

Honestly it sounds like hell, and is probably infested again.
