@the.maine.wire: A cockroach and bedbug infestation has plagued a 55-unit Portland Housing Authority building since at least April. The city has acknowledged the problem in writing, but has no clear plan in place to fix it. Another example of Maine failing its most vulnerable residents
Is it just me or was this not an issue in Maine growing up not to this extent and I grew up in Sagamore

That vent is an intake vent(?) it’s dirty because the area isn’t cleaned enough.

One thing everyone needs to be aware of is that roaches live in your electronics, so if you don’t completely remove everything infested and bomb they will come back

I grew up in baileyville far east Canadian border I have never seen a roach in my life there I didn’t even know they existed till I moved to Florida in the ninth grade and that was horrible. They also have red fire ants so I’m thinking either the climate is more appealing to them now or I just think they’re being brought in with visitors.

I can confirm that my apartment building in Lewiston is infested....... Thankfully my property management company is actively doing its best to eradicate both bed bugs and roaches.

There’s your problem: using big blue bug pest control. They don’t care. They get paid monthly

Subsidized housing contracts with pest control companies, and places like Pro-Serve - they pay massssssive amounts to these companies for services.
