White glue or carpenter's glue (you may know it as Elmer's glue) is made from protein, and therefore can be eaten by cockroaches. There are other kinds of glue which are not edible even by cockroaches.

Cockroaches that live in our houses are always scavengers. They will not eat bedbugs. Fire ants are said to eat the bugs, but these may sting humans.
