<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

We moved into our apartment in the fall of '09. We were told from people across the hall that there was a roach problem in this building. We didn't notice any roaches for the first two semesters we were there, and thought nothing of it. However, once summer rolled around and the temperature rose, we started to enouncter the little (big) fuckers. One night my roommate said he went out into the living room, turned on the light, and saw 10-20 roaches scatter. That was the last straw. 

We went to Sears the next day to pick up some [Boric Acid] It's not a repellant, but allegedely the roaches walk over the powder, carry it back to their nest where they and other roaches in the nest will come into contact with it, and then die. It's supposed to take out the roaches at the source (whether it does or not is still in question). 

Since putting down the acid, it appears that there has been a decrease in the amount of roaches (especially after midnight, which had been the time of highest volume). Last night, however, my girlfriend woke up with one of her face (*shudders*). This was the first time I had ever had a roach in my bedroom and I can't see myself sleeping at my apatrtment again until this problem is fixed.

One thing I plan on doing (which I had read in a recent reddit post, and what is recommonded on the back of the boric acid bottle) is to pour a bunch of the boric acid into the center of the room. Then, using a broom, sweep it into all of the cracks and sides of your room. After clogging up all of the cracks and applying the powder liberally, you get duck tape and seal all of the places where the floor meets the wall (basically a duck tape perimiter).

Is there anything else I can do here?
<bot>: I have a roach problem in my apartment. I have been using boric acid, but I am not sure if it's working. My girlfriend woke up with a roach on her fast last night. Something must be done!
