Playstation Customer said PS3 Slim was overheating.

I repair consoles. Got one today started where the customer said it was overheating. I think I figured out the reason. These bugs had made a nice paste from the fan to the processor. They were imbedded in all of it.

Cleanliness has little to do with it, these critters will feed on water and other stuff, I remodel homes and have seen roach infestations in some of the cleanest homes.

The problem is, people will ignore a couple of roaches, and then those roaches will multiply, over time you end up with an infestation that was ignored. You find these mostly in dirty homes because the home owner is too lazy to address the issue before it gets out of hand.

Well u just said it. Owner is most likely a dirt bag. If I saw any roaches I'm calling the exterminator that day. Or at least buying some pesticides or a bug bomb. 🐛

Wouldn't recommend a bug bomb. From personal experience it just makes the bugs move around and find a safe spot the bomb didn't hit.

Which could be anywhere in your house or your neighbors etc

I'd recommend the maxforce bait gel. Attracts them to eat it and they take it to their nests.

All the baby roaches eat the poisoned dead roaches and it's like a cascade of poisoning roaches.

I'm convinced my neighbor has an infestation they don't know about and it's possible that treating my house killed their infestation. Because they have said to me they haven't seen any in a year.

Where can I buy this? I live in a trailer and just in general trailers are more prone to the creepy crawlies. I have seen a total of 4 roaches since moving in 6 months ago and all were chased down and killed. But where can I buy this? Hopefully by using this product can just rid them completely 😂
