Disgusting question, but I am sick of them...... How do you get rid of Roaches for good?
Other than burnning down the house & rebuilding it. How do you kill all of them for good?

You cannot eliminate them, just try to control them. You have to identify what kind of roachs you have. DIY treatments can help but exterminators have access to control measures you are not allowed to use because you do not have training to handle those products.

Certainly you can rid them for good. Lots of houses have done that and they never ever appear again unless you bring them in in a bag.
Roaches need water to live, they are like all other species. Their favorite nesting is under the sink on the top side of the counter underneath.
Go to Lowes and buy a gallon can of HouseHold Bug exterminator. Spray under the sink and around all kitchen walls at the baseboard. Do this weekly for four full weeks. Gone will be the roaches.
Now if you live in a condo or apt. That is another story. Unless the whole complex is roach killer treated you dont have a chance to rid of them.

Roache-proof powder is still a viable option. This stuff is like talcum powder so becarefull how you put it down. Be sure not to disturb it once it is down. It is an acid that wrecks the stomachs of the bugs . If you mix it with a simple syrup it will stop ants within a day or two. This acid is actually added to many grains to stop any further proliferation of insect infestations.

You cannot. Commercial treatment can keep them under control probably monthly at first and every 6 months later.
Even burning the house won't work, they will come back when you rebuild.

I've had succes with Boric acid and a little bacon grease. Mix it to a paste and dab bits of it where you know they'll find it. They will carry it back to the nest. Also when some die they will be eaten by the others and also die.
