  1. Use a mixture of dry boric acid and powdered sugar 50-50 sprinkle around under sinks and in cabinets.


  2. We had this same problem in the first apartment building we lived in.  If you are moving soon then you are going to have to get rid of the buggers quick.  There is a product on the market that stops the cockroach at a certain stage in their development. It works beautifully and they die really quick.  As fast as maybe a month. Nothing else worked for us.  They can't reproduce so that is the end of them.  We put it everywhere in the house that the bugs seemed to be. It was called egg stopper. I put one behind our dressers, toilets, fridge, drawers in the kitchen.  They have a sticky back so they will attach most any where.  Vacuum up every dead bug body because they will attract others with their smell.  

    As far as them moving with you they may if you aren't able to check everything.   You are going to have to check table legs and any hollow thing in your house and along the crevices of furniture.  Check in television sets, they love any place that is warm like that.  Inside toasters or coffee makers and the backs of refrigerators and of course any type of food stuff.  They can even live on the binding of books.  So check everything.  We got bugs the second time years later by having our furniture stored by an disreputable moving company;  By the time they moved our stuff in to our new house it was way too late and they were everywhere so make sure that who ever you are having to move your stuff has a policy of treating for bug infestations too.  You don't want to go to all the trouble of getting rid of the vermin only to get new ones from someone else's stuff.  The link below is just one source that I have heard of. I know that Orkin has the same sort of thing and theirs works just as well.  I  think at a much greater cost however. If you do call Orkin make them use that first instead of waiting for months to do something about your problem. Good luck and I hope you get them all.

  3. you should call the exterminator. theyre not overly expensive. If you have them when you pack to move then they will move with you

  4. we had some on our house we moved from a apartment they came with us. We bough some type of poison that kill them all. They were everywhere a month after we moved in to the new house. Is been around three years since we sparayed them and no one has ever seen one again. I forgot the name of it right now but I will ask my brother he bought it send me an email I will ask him and send you an e-mail with the name. I hate roaches.

  5. u dont relly have to worry about that cuz they dont like follow u

    ther could be a slite chance tat 1 of them sneaks intour bags and then lays eggs but thats very unlikly.

    for the time being u should silicone anywhere that the cockroaches r hiding (silicone ar hiring a exterminator)
