How can I get rid of cockroaches?

Control Methods Traps Cockroach
Traps are used primarily for monitoring purposes. If you find large numbers of cockroaches in your trap, they are probably living or feeding nearby. If you have a lot of cockroaches, using traps alone probably won’t get rid of them. Traps usually have a bait to attract the cockroaches. Sometimes bait is a poison, so keep traps away from children and pets. Some traps work better for certain kinds of cockroaches; try a different trap if yours isn’t working. Put traps in the paths cockroaches use - along the edges of walls or in cabinets.
If you have only a few cockroaches, you could use a heavy duty vacuum to sweep them up. They should suffocate in the dust of the bag. Throw out the bag to make sure they don’t escape.
Pesticides
 If you use pesticides to kill cockroaches, use the least toxic available. These pesticides will be labeled with the word “Caution.” Pesticides are poisons, so follow label directions and use them carefully. Don’t use pesticides around food or on food preparation surfaces. Keep children and pets away from areas where pesticides have been applied, as the label requires.

The following pesticides will kill cockroaches and pose less risk to people and pets when used properly: Boric acid is a powder used in cracks. Cockroaches will either walk through it, attaching it to their body, or eventually eat it. A light dusting is all you need. Buy a product with a nozzle so you can squirt it into a crack. Baits are used to attract and poison cockroaches when they eat them. They can be purchased in pet-proof and childproof containers. You may need to set out several containers. You could also hire a professional pest control company to help you.

Some control methods take time to work. If you have a lot of cockroaches, it may take a few weeks, a month, or longer to get rid of them.
