I reduced the number of roaches in an apartment by 1) physically
sealing as many holes as possible, e.g. where pipes for the sink
come through the wall, and 2) using a spray that lasts heavily on
areas that I wouldn't touch, such as the corner between the wall
and the floor. When I moved to my own house I used an air spray in
the boxes of kitchen stuff and papers such as books. It worked; our
house is roach free.  BTW the first time in my life that I saw a
roach was in a Harvard U. dorm.  Finally, I'm afraid of commercial
exterminators. I know they don't kill the roaches but I think they
might get me since they spray dishes with abandon.
