Answer 2

Here is something that you can do that really works.  Get a product called Roach Pruf (or proof)  Not sure of the spelling which isn't as important as it's active ingredient....Boric Acid Powder.  You can safely use Boric Acid powder around your kids, & pets.  You can put a little bit of along the rear of every shelf in your cupboards.  Under the cabinets - feel up under the toe kick space near the floor sometimes there is a space where you can "blow" the powder underneath your cabinets.  You put the powder in a plastic bottle (the kind with a s***w on spout) that you can push a small rubber hose on and when you squeeze the bottle the powder "blows" out the hose end.  Put this stuff around your house where ever you've seen roaches.  Then set off some bug bombs and leave for a few hours.  If all this is done properly you should be roach free in a few weeks.

This is the type bottle I'm talking about:

The rubber hosing is available at almost any hardware store or where they sell fish tanks.

Answer 3

Give them some money to go to the movies, then move before they get back home.

Answer 4

Combat bait traps and boric acid work well. Place the traps under cabinets in kitchen and bathroom.....anywhere you see roaches. Pour boric acid (powder) around baseboards in the most infested areas. Other than that you would have to hire a professional to spray.

Answer 5

the Combat roach bait that comes in the large syringe works well and is easy for the homeowner to use.  Place small dabs of bait where the roaches are hiding...if they are in an appliance like the toaster place the bait on a small piece of cardboard then slide it under the toaster...avoid spraying for a week or two, you don't want to contaminate the bait.  The bait not only kills the feeding roach but it is taken back with the roach when it returns to the hiding places...baby roaches feed off of the fecal matter of the adult which now contains the toxin.
