roach bombs work for a little while.. look dude, go to walmart. find a product called ComBat killing Gel. follow the directions, i use it twice a year and i have been roach free for almost 11 years now. it is the only thing I have found that works.

Fogging with Raid and roach motels work great. Since you have many I'd suggest you fog a couple of months in a row. You can find both items in your grocery store. Just spraying doesn't help cause they hide and have lots of babies, so you probably have loads more of them than you know. Either you have food around that's not in plastic containers, or you have a dog and dog food sitting out, or beer cans sitting out, or you have garbage sitting around that you don't remove daily. Try adding those to your chore list and you'll get rid of the little buggers. If by chance they still aren't gone, then it's because they're enjoying eating the walls and paper products either you have or your neighbors have. Cockroaches usually arrive in boxes when neighbors move in or out (or yourself) or people bring them from the storage units or you bring them in from the grocery store in the bags you bring in.

If you find something that works please let me know..I am having the same problem and nothing seems to work...they may get better for a few days then they all come back...I live in an apartment complex in FL. I think they go next door then come back when they think the coast is clear..LOL...the complex has exterminators that only sprays every 10 weeks...we have tried the bombs but, they still come back...The roaches are driving me crazy......

They come at night for food and water. They are probably at your neighbors as well and you will fight infestation. Before you go to bed at night, make sure there are no crumbs of any kind, ANYWHERE. Pour ammonia in your toilet bowl. down your drains and make sure you have no leaky faucets or waterbowls for animals down. You need to bomb or call an exterminator. They live in the walls too. They also live in palm trees if you have any near your home. They are soooo hard to get rid of. You have to be dilligent and very clean as they carry numerous diseases that are transmittable to humans.

go to walmarts get you a big tube of combat gel,put it out where they hide and crawl at especially around the inside of your cabinet,its brown gel and looks like peanut butter but its not its poison,this stuff has no smell,no tatse but when they walk thru it they easily take it back to their nest and kills all of the egss including their ownself.you reapply it after 3 months,thats what i did when i moved in this house 9 1/2 months ago use it 1 time and never seen another roach.its only about 8.00 at walmarts.

Last summer where I work had them coming out the walls during the day....The only way to get rid of them completely is to have an exterminator come in- and due to some of them being lazy asses, its still not fully effective....I suggest calling a known name exterminator, they may cost more but it'll solve your problem....Also try the roach bombs...

One thing for certain they are difficult to get rid of and it has nothing to do with how clean you are. Try using boric acid. it is a powder you sprinkle in your cupboards, drawers and under your sink. The roaches walk through the powder and take it back to their nest. The powder causes the roaches to dehydrate and die.

If you're in an apartment, you need to have the WHOLE COMPLEX done. They WILL move away & come back. You have to have an exterminator (reputable) at LEAST twice, preferable 3 times.
I've been there.

Plan some time away and set off a roach bomb. You need to get the chemicals back to where the roaches hide.
Good luck.

Get a pest control operative to treat the infestation, they use far stronger, more effective chemicals than you can purchase at a hardware store
