“Your parents are failing you. There are low-cost traps that can be set out and kill them quickly. Can you get some money to buy some to put around your room until they can get an exterminator?”
“Or ask an aunt or uncle to get you some? You need only a few in a small space, and it will discourage the roaches from coming back.”
“You could fog your room but it is uninhabitable for a while and since you have asthma you should sleep someplace else.”
“Your parents need to take action asap.”
“There are never just a few roaches. They come in masses. They also destroy things like electronics and they carry all kinds of nasty health problems. The house needs to be de-bugged now.”
“…You could tell your doctor. If you’re seeing them for breathing issues and you think the cockroaches might be a problem, they should know. They will be able to report it and hopefully make your parents do something.”
“I have asthma and I thought it had cleared up when I got past 14/15, but it came back again in my late 20s.”
“I finally started taking it seriously when I couldn’t sleep because I kept waking up from not getting enough air. It was horrible and scary. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.”
