Residents of Family Homeless Shelter Battle Cockroach Infestation
(DNAINFO) Gustavo Solis — Despite monthly visits from an exterminator, residents of a family homeless shelter on 132nd Street say there is a massive cockroach infestation in their building.
Aqita Hernandez, who lives in Adam’s House III on 228 W. 132nd St. with her four children, has seen the insects in her microwave, refrigerator and bed sheets.
“They eat with me, they cook with me, they sleep with me, they shower with me,” she said. “I showed pictures to my case worker a month ago — one of them screamed.”
