Okay look. I have THE BEST ANSWER for this question, because I just cured my house about a month ago from the same problem. Alright, there is this stuff called Ortho Home Defense Max. And it has a little nossle that you just go around your home and spray all edges of the house, or around any nest that your cousin may have. It kills the bugs inside and keeps them out for the whole season. It is fine around animals too. I have 3 dogs and 5 cats, and they're fine. It doesnt stain, and its odor free. It kills all types of ants, Asian lady beetles(whatever those are), Centipedes, Cockroaches, Fleas, Flies, Fire Ants, Mosquitoes, Pantry Pests (i think like nats and stuff) Scorpions, Spiders, Silver Fish(?), and Ticks. Man I hope your cousin uses this, because let me tell you what. This stuff is the S-H-I-T!!!!!! I hope this helps ALOT!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
P.S.- I think its like $30.00 at Wal-Mart. I know its expensive, but it's worth it!

Sprinkle bakeing soda all along the floor boards. If a cockroach eats it they will explode. It's kinda cool. Bleach the carpet. With a scrub brush and like a warm water and bleach mixture. Then scrub them with warm water then get a shop type vacuum cleaner to suck all the water out of the carpet. I moved into this apartment that had those little roach traps and a few in them. Well they come out at night. Not when I viewed the apartment.
I did all those things in addition to calling a pest control company though. Well exept the baking soda someone told me about that though.

You have gotten many good answers here, but if there are so many roaches, they have a NEST somewhere in the house or under the house. I'm wondering if that can be located and destroyed, that may solve the problem.
I don't know if she lives in a row home or a town house, but if she does, it's possible that someone else in the row is exterminating and the roaches are going house to house.
I'm sorry for your cousin because roaches are disgusting

The only thing I use is Boric Acid and if that didn't work for her, I don't know what else. Boric Acid kills them for months, we live in a warm climate and everytime we open the back door they come in.
**the ANSWER ABOVE MINE, SAID WHAT i WAS GOING TO SAY, THIS MIGHT NOT BE YOUR PROBLEM BUT THE NEIGHBORS IS YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OR A DUPLEX, THEY MIGHT BE COMING INTO YOUR APARTMENT.
If this is the case call your landlord he needs to fumigate all aprtments connected to yours. Roaches bite also, and spread a lot of deseases. Stay well.

Calm down. When my children were small we had a powerful roach problem. In 1989 I started using Combat disks... Use them all over your house and you can use the spray with them at first for optimal effect. I have not seen one roach in my home since 1989. I used to replace the disks every 3 months but I stopped over 15 years ago.
The roaches were so bad that I used to cry. They used to fall on our heads when we opened the front door. Combat disks have a roach birthcontrol.

Try to find a way to help her afford to get this problem taken care of-sometimes if there is water under the house this can cause such a problem!
