Pouring a line of boric acid on the floor around the wall edge of the room can reduce alot of them. Pick it up at Home Depot or your local hardware store. Try to get an exterminator in there on a regular basis. And keep your place clean, clean, clean. Use Lysol spray. Bugs hate clean. The cleaner the better. Consolidate everything so they have no place to hide. And be careful with the spray because you can get sick. My mother developed enphezima from cockroaches and bugspray. Cockroaches are said to cause asthma. But bug spray will kill you just like it kills those bugs. Another thing you should definitely be using are sticky mouse type traps. When they walk over them they'll get stuck. Put a bunch of these around where you don't want them being. It's gross, but effective.

Bad situation==you say " very small", and "increasing day by day ". Sounds to me like there is a hatchery some where there that cockroaches go to lay their egg sacks..This place is in a protected area==if you used proper spraying and product. So=it is possible==as they say=="They"re coming out of the walls" Do you live in a trailer home ? Behind the wall panel=inside a section of empty space can live a very large number of both living cockroa ches and dead ones. Your problem could be here ==with the egg sacks protected by the wall from your spraying. Ok=so you don"t live in a trailer and you dislike using cockroache sprays. Well I use all the "weapons" I can when it comes to cockroaches , including the use of all those many plastic shopping bags you have too many of. I hang a bag =no holes in it =say on the corner of a shelf. Now --you need to sweeten this bag a little with cockroach food>>empty Twiki wrappers/TV dinner trays. Turn the light off and retire to the den=relax for a while. Then quickly turn the light on and grap the bag and twist it til it"s long enough to tie it into a knot. This will seal the doom of the cockroaches inside. I then insert this bag inside another bag==check for holes== and perhaps even a third bag. You can "set" these traps time after time for the new hatch of cockroaches. The traps are a one way ticket=certainly with 3 bags==and these bags are placed inside a black plastic garden bag and tied off. You will be simply amazed how well this works=little by little=with some efford on your part=you will bring this under control. Then buy the poison traps that roaches take back to the nest and kills the others there. Global Warming===it"s been very hot== roaches love this heat. Good Luck

The egg hatching place of such small cockroaches is inside of switch board, bottom and back side of cabinets, which places are difficult to see,where you can find the egg of cockroaches which is known as cocoon. First you have to destroy this eggs and make switch box air tight with white pudding or m -seal and for one month duration you have to spray Red Hit at an interval of 5 - 7 days at the back and bottom part of all cabinets. Hope u will get result within one month but dont forget to spray in regular interval.

The best thing I've used is Mortein Lure and Kill, its a surface spray so when you get up in the morning you will find dead roaches everywhere, but remember to spray inside of cupboards and across doorways etc., another good method is put a banana peel in a 2L softdrink bottle punch large holes near the top and hang from a tree, they can get in but cant get back out and are drawn to the smell!

these can be brought into a house through groceries,e tc. and it happened to us years ago on the farm and were in our hired man's house. The children came over and shortly,we had an infestation that only a professional can wipe out! It is worth whatever the cost! Check the yellow pages for an Exterminator.

See if you can find some boric acid powder for roaches. It should be very inexpensive. You sprinkle a layer of it under cabinets, where the roaches hide. It stays there forever and is relatively non-toxic to humans. (But do not put it anywhere your children or pets can get to it.)
When the roaches walk through it, it gets caught in their scales. They dehydrate and die within a couple of days.

Just buy Raid or COmbat (not sure which) Roach Injections...Its a tube that looks like a giant injection...Put that in the problem areas and in cabinets and dark places.
Good Luck its 100% fool proof.
