20$ says they’re in the walls of the building
I pay for Pest control with my rent, what can I do to control them?
Call your landlord and say they need to get the service out again and keep saying it till you don’t see shit
You’re paying for it in your rent. The pest control people love invoicing apt complexes like yours.
Go through your lease and see if there’s any sort of lines about to what extent the pest control is to be carried out - if you should have 0 pests as per your lease you can get that shit fixed very fast and depending on your state regs you can legally with-hold rent

Lmao I don’t trust any pest control company to be as thorough as you’d need to keep your spot secured. They spray a based solution that half the techs water down further to make their loads last longer.
I used to work for baron pest & landscaping out here, worst company I’ve ever seen for qc jobs.
Personally I would silicone every crevice in Your abode to the full extent. Seal that place shut tighter than a ticks ass. Before sealing wall plates please do yourself a favor and check behind them, just incase use a solution of jadam, q from BAS & full home defense complete from pest spray (must include scorpions), to spray a once over with the electrical moved out of the way of course and off at the breaker. Allow to dry then put back together and seal with silicone. I know saying this may seem like overkill but roaches are not a force to reckon with. Spray every corner and entry way you can possibly think of, including room to room entries, windows, door seals, literally every single entry point. Heck I’d even section off the tent with it.
If you have any inside the tent at all, you could possibly save the tent by soaking it. They can’t breath in water so they’ll pull off of it to dry land. You will play a literal game of cat n mouse killing these fuckers. I suggest letting an array of mantis eggs go inside the tent as well once you’re ready to reset. They’ll find and kill everything that’s now down to a level of manageable numbers from generation to generation of the little demons.

Put the tent up on a wooden skid to get it off the floor. Depending on location moisture may be coming up through the floor. A small USB fan blowing air under the skid should keep things dry.
Roach baits and lots of sticky traps may help. I wouldn’t use any sprays. There’s boric acid powder that works fairly good. You might put that around the perimeter under the skid, so it stays out of the tent. Make sure the fan doesn’t blow it around. Double sided tape might be another idea, alternative to the powder (last resort).

My dream outdoor setup would be made from strictly cedar framing and beds, one day I’ll get to build it.

I live in the woods/hick too…
Maybe this is just another reason to be thankful I’m not in the south?
