We moved into this house and after about a week we started noticing roaches. We have bommbed, baited and tried Boric Acid, but nothing seems to work. I am desperate.

Clean, clean, clean, and stick all food in plastic containers. And make sure the roaches have no access to water, either. Eventually, they will give up and move to someplace with better food sources.
Be sure to clean under the furniture, and don't let the kids eat outside of the kitchen/dining room -- unless, maybe, they are outside of the house.
And keep trying with the boric acid. It takes awhile for roaches to learn, but they will.

It seems that roaches are one thing that can't be killed. They live in the ground under the house if there is a bad infestation. They have survived many natural disasters. The more chemicals you use to try to kill them the more resistant they become to the chemicals. I had used roach motels in the past and the powerdy roach kill that you can put in to crevices and cracks. It would help to have an exterminator come and spray regularly.

Well depending where you live, probably not. You know roaches are the oldest living species on the planet. They have survived nuclear explosions in places and extreme climate changes. We evan have them in Alaska in some of the apartment complexes, Scary huh!! You know cats work wonders for rodents and some bugs too. Farm cats are the best kind they will run the rodents off pretty good.

your best bet is to go to a store that sells nothing but natural products another thing you can try is whole bay leaves do to the fact that they won't digest but, if you use those keep away from small children. also keep everything clean its a hard problem to get rid of them. Also if you live in a apartment complex make sure everyone else is using something to because they will leave your house go to your neighbors then when they try to get rid of them they will come back to your house. so make sure you all can do it at the same time. after a week do it again cuz of eggs that will hatch. Good luck i hope you can get rid of them. Also you will have to get rid of radios, microwaves, and any other thing that you can't clean due to them hiding

Oh I hate the little pesky things. If you are in an apartment it is almost impossible unless the whole building is treated. If you are in a house then it may be best to contact a pest control company they aren't really that expensive and it is worth it................. "Cockroaches cause health related problems as they can carry disease-causing germs and transmit them to household surfaces, food, or food contact surfaces. People catch these germs when they touch contaminated surfaces or eat contaminated food"

Clean the house and don't feed the cat.
Seriously, don't leave any foodstuffs out. Check with your local vector control. Your may have some neighbors with infestations and until they're controlled, you will continue to have problems.

Make a trail of graham crackers and marsh mellows out the door and they will follow.
