I haven't seen a bug of any kind in years; having 30 cats might be the reason why! But years ago when I moved into an apartment, we called it the roach motel cause there was so many roaches the wallpaper (moved) at night! Well I tried everything and nothing worked till I discovered(COMBAT)! They are small little black disks that you put around your house and I'll tell you, THEY WORKED!!! The very next morning, all the roaches were gone forever! I don't know how it works, but it does! I lived there for 7 months and saw no more roaches and I only used that stuff once! It is still in the stores, so if I were you, I'd get some! COMBAT.

Get the package that has the little black plastic disks! I think there are either 6 to a package or 9, I can't remember and there is no mess, smell or clean up either!

Ive never had them. but I read some were that cucumber skins are toxic to them. and to put them around and under your house.. Dont know if its true or not, but it might be worth a try.

if i see one roach around, i will have to step on it. i do not want to use sprays because it will only make the others go out and fly around!no way!!!

We don't have any roaches where we live now, but we have a lot of spiders. I usually have either my husband or my son kill them. If they are not around I spray them with hairspray to kill them.

They do become immune. If you live in apartments it is very hard to get rid of them because other apartment have them. I use to use raid foggers and keep spray around and live in a house you can pretty much get them under control.
