From outside the pipes, if it is dry, try diotomaceous earth. I bought it at the local hardware store. It it fossilized shells from small creatures (diatoms) it cuts their bodies and absorbs their body fluids. Seems cruel but it works for lots of stuff. Also its cheaper locally than online, but you can research it online. But if they come in from inside try putting it where they come out. It only works if it is dry.

What is a roach shelter?
Roaches are thigmatrophic, meaning they like pressure on their bodies. They can usually be found in cracks around the cabinetry in the kitchen or bathrooms (being close to water) depending on the variety on roaches. Roaches, like all other organisms are attracted to food and water, so food available to them or unsanitary conditions will attract roaches.
What treatment do I need if my tap water is dirty?
Dirty looking tap water can be caused by a number of things. Copper pipes corrode over time and rust particles dislodged may cause water to look discoloured. This is not dangerous but pipes would have to be changed to eliminate the problem. Discolouration of hot water may mean a problem with the tank. If in doubt it is best to call a plumber.
Why is copper used for water pipes?
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
At what temperature do pipes crack?
Water pipes should not of themselves crack at any temperature, however if pipes have water in them the water will freeze at temperatures below 0oC. If this happens then as the water freezes it will expand (ice is less dense than water) and as it expands it will either stretch metal pipes until they burst or crack ceramic pipes. For this reason external water pipes are buried at a depth to which the frost will not penetrate and internal water pipes are lagged to keep them warm.
