Sanitation, exclusion, proofing, harborage reduction. Reducing pest pressure reduces likelihood of problems. Roaches need food debris. Rats/mice need a way in. Flies don't breed in dumpsters routinely changed out. Fruit flies don't breed in drains cleaned routinely. Silicone can eliminate most hiding places roaches favor.

How do insecticides force evolution?
Widespread use of insecticides can lead to the evolution of insecticide resistance. In any population of insects there will be genetic variation ie individual insects are not identical; just like humans there are all different. Some individual insects will be more resistant to an insecticide than others. When an insecticide is used the individuals which are resistant will have a better chance of surviving. They will then pass on their resistance genes to their offspring, which will in turn have a better chance of surviving. In this way the resistance genes will spread through the population. This is an example of natural selection in action. See www.evolution.berkeley.edu/
