Answer 7

Once Cockroaches get a foothold in your home they are almost impossible to get rid of.  For every Cockroach you see, there are 100 more in the walls, under the floor, etc.

Call a professional exterminator.  One that has a guarantee that he'll come back within a specific period of time if you should see another Cockroach.  These insects are very tenacious and hard to get rid of completely.  Allowing one or two spiders to live in your home along the floors will help a little, and so will Roach Motels, sprays, etc, but none will do as well as the exterminator.

Answer 8

Once you've seen roaches in your living space, odds are there are many more out of view. You can begin an active stance against the roach by getting rid of those who have made their presence known to you. Try:

1. sprinkling a small amount of boric acid where you've seen roaches travel through your home. The roach will poison themselves by ingesting the acid during their regular grooming routine. Be sure to sprinkle in dark, damp areas, too, like under bathroom and kitchen sinks, behind washers and dryers, and around the refrigerator, and behind appliances. Note: The ingestion of boric acid is also toxic to humans. Do not use in areas where small children or animals play, sleep, or eat.

2. You can make your own insecticide by mixing equal parts of baking soda and powdered sugar and setting up a mock bait plate for the roaches. After mixing your sugar and soda, eave the mixture in a shallow dish where roaches have been seen or are known to travel. The combination of sugar and soda is lethal to the cockroach.

3. Roaches hate the taste of bay leaves. You can naturally and safely keep most roaches at bay by placing the leaves anywhere you've seen roaches moving. Using bay leaves is a great way to keep roaches out of the rooms and play area of children.

4. Don't water the roaches! Cockroaches can survive for months without eating, but they need a daily source of water to thrive. Never leave water in the sink, in dirty dishes, or other areas of the house. Check other sources of water as well, such as leaky plumbing, under-refrigerator dampness, and concrete sweating. Wipe all traces of water from the sink after you've done the dishes and wipe down the bath area after use, as well.

5. Clean, clean, clean! Cockroaches naturally gravitate toward areas which are littered with cockroach droppings. Use a detergent or disinfectant to thoroughly clean the area and deter a re-infestation. On concrete floors and walls, you can use a mixture of bleach and water to disinfect the area. Other services can be cleaned with everyday cleansers or antibacterial soaps and scrubs.

Answer 12

Keep a clean house and make sure there are no water leaks; they like water.  Seal up every crack so they can't get in from the neighbors.

If you live in an apartment with shared ventilation, they only way to get rid of them is to move away very carefully so you don't bring them and their eggs to the new place.

Answer 13

sprinkle boric acid powder where they will walk through it.
