    yes there is hope for i can have that cleaned up and ready for a move in in a couple of weeks it just takes time and yes it takes me taking extra special care of the other units also in that building.... and that my friends is the reason i live in a house.... i have also went in to 1500 dollar a month apartments and people not clean up and had the same case....

    It's going to take you a whole lot more than 2 weeks to fix that. If you clean that in 2 weeks, I guarantee you that you will receive a phone call from the tenants to come back out there. That's going to take at least 6 months of proper baiting, fumigating and spraying to get rid of those. And even then, I can guarantee that you won't be completely rid of them. If they are that bad, nothing really short of a complete fumigation job will 100% clean that place up.

    I'm posting this out of personal experiences. Later, QD.

    Yeah, that place would HAVE to be vacant for you to clean it up effectively. But, as I know with other landlords, they can't afford to keep a place vacant for too long. And the landlord of this place will get residents in there LONG before it's actually ready. Once you supply tenants in there, your job is going to become that much harder. They're going to reintroduce garbage, food and other sources of livable means into the residence and you're going to have a tough go at it. With an aged home, there are so many places for them to go.

    I do wish you luck. but this will be an ongoing treatment process. I do feel that once you "get rid of them," they won't be gone , but just in recession. You'll need to make monthly (if not bi-monthly) trips out there to keep on top of it.

    But I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, lolol, sorry. Just helping and offering advice. Later, QD.
