Boric acid really works well.  We sprinkled it around the edges of the walls, 
under the sink, etc.  They can be a real problem in some cities.  My husband 
says you can find it in a dollar store.  It might be called Roach Powder or 
insect powder, but make sure the main ingredient is boric acid.  When we lived 
in Florida we rented a house for a while and the walls had wormwood from the 
ship they got it from.  We only lived there until we got our own house six 
months later and the problem really diminished.  In Florida one has to be very 
careful about crumbs, dirty dishes, etc., as they will attract things.  When we 
lived in Chattanooga I heard a welcome speech for all the teachers' wives and 
the speaker called Chattanooga roach city.
