    Spray the baseboards around your home once per month with something such as Raid. OR call in a professional exterminator. It needs to be done at least once per month.

    Boric Acid works well, you can find it at home depot or those types of stores, follow label directions. Also, Raid Maxx bait, comes in a plastic container. The roaches can go in, eat the bait and carry some back to their nest...Call an exterminator; or your landlord, if renting, they have to do something. It sounds like you moved into their nest...have it sprayed then set out bait and traps. Also, those foggers, but you'll have to leave the house for about 4 hours, then another couple to let it air out. Follow the directions on the box.

    Good luck!

    Get Raid or Hot Shot foggers and set them off; Read directions carefully; Do again in about two weeks to kill ann eggs that hatch.

    Then set some Combat Motels out to keep them out.

    Also when you bring home potatoes from the store, dump them in the sink and check them out for roaches, as they love potatoes. They say for every one you see there are 10 you don*t see.

    Combat Roach Jell... they eat it and take it back to their nest and it kills the whole colony.

    If there are a lot of them you need to call an exterminator.
