Hi! 

So I started working at my current job (it’s a chain medspa, keeping name anonymous) in early April. I’ve noticed a big & humidity problem since my second week; I noticed two giant (3-4 inch?) millipedes hanging around, as well as 83% humidity in the building despite air conditioner and purifiers running nonstop. Seemed weird to me. 

I saw a few more dead bugs in the back room and break room/kitchen over the next month, maybe 2-3 ? Humidity problem persisted as well. I didn’t take photos but they were smaller and lighter brown and in retrospect I feel like it’s highly possible they were german roaches

June 5, I was in the back room and saw a very large roach (**not german**; i think asian? it was 2-3 inches long and dark brown). It was dead and very close to the utility sink, and I didn’t realise it was a roach at first, so I didn’t really overthink it, although I did request an exterminator. 

June 17, I posted another request for an exterminator bc I saw two more (dead, same kind) roaches; one on the floor of our treatment room and one in the hallway. Another employee also saw a live one in the trash can as she was taking out the trash. I continued to see more of the smaller lighter brown dead bugs in corners, primarily in the back rooms as well. 

June 29, finally an exterminator was sent out to inspect the property (I wasn’t there so didn’t have a chance to speak w him). No treatment was applied bc he was waiting for manager approval… my manager got fired the next day (unrelated reasons) so no one responded to the exterminator right away. 

July 3, I came in in the AM and there was another (same kind) large dead roach right in the center of the lobby on the floor. Another employee flicked it outside 

July 6 there was a living one dangling from the ceiling vent in the hallway and I literally just went home. I informed our temp manager of the situation & that I didn’t believe it was sanitary to be open, as a medical facility, under those conditions. My coworker disagreed “we don’t know that it’s roaches” however that evening we all received another email from the exterminator confirming roach activity. I told my manager I don’t feel comfortable working in those conditions and would be back when the issue was resolved (she took it surprisingly well).

I haven’t been in since, but my manager said they “fumigated yesterday morning. We also have the dehumidifier and ac unit running in the front area which seems to be helping.”

My question: is it genuinely safe to return to work? I’m confused bc it’s my understanding that a property should be vacant following fumigation however they’re open for business again already today (they were open yesterday immediately after the exterminator left as well) which just seems both unsafe and unsanitary to me.   
Also, is two days seriously enough for a roach treatment to be effective?  
And lastly, I don’t have confirmation on the smaller bugs being german roaches or not, but if they are, is one treatment genuinely going to be enough? 

I genuinely cannot handle bringing roaches home from my workplace and I can’t fathom the idea of receiving a medical treatment in a roach infested building so I feel bad for the clients who are clueless while we’re staying open. I’m not sure what to do but I don’t know much about pest control so I’m hoping for some clarity

Thank you
