Answer 1

I'd more concerned about items such as mattresses and furniture, but you have a few options.  

One, you can store the items in a separate are from the new place, along with roach bait.  This SHOULD draw out any that may have moved along with you.

Your second option is to seal the items in plastic with a small amount of roach killer.  Leave them sealed for at least a week and open OUTSIDE.  Also do not spray the fumigant into the units, residue can damage them.  Allow the units to air for quite a while, then open the PC to check for any travellers.  One small risk here is deceased roaches could cause a short in the TV, so turn it on and let it run in a fire safe area for at least 3-4 hours.

If your situation is more dire, consult an exterminator before you move, and possibly ask them to pre-treat the new location.
