Find the nest, here is my story:
I kept a clean apartment but what started attracting roaches was when I moved my iguana out of a class cage into a wire cage about 6 feet tall. I began noticing roaches. The exterminator came out but I would not allow him to spray my pets room (seen no roaches there). The exterminator told me that he seen no roach nest but sprayed the apartment anyway. Later, I continued to see roaches and checked my pets room since that was the only room not sprayed. I found the roach nest in a small box next to my iguana's cage. They would leave the box and eat my iguana's droppings and return to the dark box. The nest was "ugly" with about 24 adult roaches, eggs and baby roaches.
3 months Later, I had roach problem again, checked my iguana's room and could not find roaches in there so I just sat and watched/waited. Seen a roach crawl from under my pets light stand. Took the stand into the bath tub and begin spraying it. Out came another 2 dozen of large roaches, babies and inside were eggs, again, leaving the light stand to enter the cage and eat the droppings and return to the base of the light stand.
I sprayed the room and now will invest in roach motels. Good luck.
P.S. If you have them, look for the nest !

Actually, Cockroach's clean themselves constantly, that is how Pest Control people kill them. When the roach (no matter the size) walk on chemicals, or powders, it attach's to its members. When it gets to it's 'home', it takes it's antennae and starts washing itself, putting the chemical in it's 'mouth', which sends it to Roach-ville permanently. Powders are more effective and longer lasting residual. Believe it or not, b ut cockroach's are considered the cleanest of bugs!! Its the droppings and idea that freaks people out. Good Luck !!

Not on their own, but I take the tree roaches around and in our house and give them baths. They like when you use conditioner on their antennae.
