The best way to get rid of cockroaches is to kill the whole colony. there is no point spraying one or a few because cockroaches reproduce very fast, especially the German Cockroach which is the major pest out of all the cockroach species.

A way to get rid of Cockroaches can be a variety of ways, for some in-expensive home made insecticides, you can mix baking soda and powdered sugar. The baking soda is extremely lethal to cockroaches. But, don't just put down baking soda cause cockroaches can sense it, and know to stay away from it. Since cockroaches love powdered sugar, the smell can over take the senses that can prevent the cockroach from killing them. But put together you get a very good remedy of insecticide. The baking soda and powdered sugar is only lethal to cockroaches so it won't kill your pets, (unless they are bugs or insects). Another is to just spray Kaboom on the live cockroach and it will die within a minute. Or you can just spray around cracks and crevices. But, be careful cause it is very poisonous to dogs and cats. So spray out of reach of children and pets.

BUT DON'T SPRAY ON WOOD FLOORING, OR IT WILL RUIN YOUR WOOD FLOOR!!!

Poison works to a certain extent but only for a limited time. There will be more to take the place of the dead.

Best way to get rid of them must be to actually plug all holes where they can actually get indoor.

Repair all cracks in floors and walls. Having a very clean environment indoor will help too, because the bugs search for food. No point in going into your house if there is no available food there.

You need to kil the entire colony. Best way to do this is buy an Insect Growth Regulator. This is bait that will stop them reproducing. Available at many pest control or garden stores
