Funny you should ask....I used to have a big problem with roaches......till a friend of mine that lives in the big thicket here in Texas gave me her "recipe" that helped me clear the roaches out of an entire govt housing bldg...
Equal amounts of boric acid, powdered sugar, and egg whites. (2 TBSPs. (each) of the dry ingredients to 2 egg whites for a small area)...Whip until frothy. Apply with a small foam paint brush or baster to all edges of windows, wallboards, where the cabinets meet the walls, drawer runners and around the drawer fronts, under counter tops, across the shelf fronts and around the inside of the cabinet doors and where the inside of the cabinets meet the walls, and around any place in the rooms where there appears to be a roach problem or where the roaches might have access.
Within 3 weeks after using this formula, I had no more roaches, whereas I had been overrun with 'em, since this is the Gulf Coast and they run rampant here. By applying this recipe once a month for the first few months and then maybe once every three months, you can be rid of 'em completely. I haven't had roaches in YEARS!

Living on the West Coast of Florida I know about these guys! We call them 50 footers!
Never leave food out on the counter or open containers out of the frige. In Florida you need a larger frige than in Northern states. I have three friges in my house. If any container is open, it goes in a tuberware container or in the frige. Even bread will spoil if not kept sealed here. The sinks must be kept clean and waste cans have liners and the kitchen can a lid. Even laundry baskets must not sit more than a few days, the bugs love moisture. They eat almost anything including rubber and paper so stacks of newspapers, grocery bags or cardboard boxes will attract them. Once you have a problem with them they are hard to get rid of. And for every one you see there are at least 50 you don't see!
I work in remodeling and rip open walls and pull plumbing so I see where they hang out. Many a time have I ripped open a wall or pulled a toilet and had hundreds of these guys scurry out around my feet as I'm standing there holding a toilet with them running up my legs and I just had to keep calm and put the fixture down carefully before I stripped my clothes off to get at them.
My lady friends call me a nut because my house is spotless, (you can eat off the always shinny hardwood, marble and tile) but I will not have bugs! Maverick

Re-package them and sell them to hobos!
People have such a backward perception of hobos...they don't like roaches although they do use them in their special hobo mating rituals. But don't get it twisted, it is only for the mating rituals!

YUK!
I'm so glad I live in England. We can get roaches, but most nasty critters can be avoided fairly easily here. I've never seen a roach in a place I've lived in, TOUCH WOOD.
Ants are another matter....

In a word:don't feed em.Easier said then done,they are tough critters.If you live in an old building with wallpaper,they will eat the wallpaper paste because it's made from a wheat base. I lived in the sub-tropics for ten years,here in Maine USA it's too cold. Once your home get's infested your pretty much doomed.I found the best sucess with the "roach motels".( they check in,but they don't check out) Don't leave any food out or uncovered...Interesting fact a roach can withstand 200X's the ionizing radiation as a human.

I live in South Carolina and the Palmetto bugs (pretty name for ROACH) are horrible down here. I use Combat Roach Killers. Also, outside the house I put down an aunt killer that also kills roaches (I found out the roaches usually get in by squeesing under the door). I also spray every now and again with a raid type bug spray...so far...I've stayed ahead of the little devils.
