Massively embarrassing cockroach problem--please help!

They're everywhere! They're in my cabinets, my laundry, swarming over my sink--they have no shame at all! I have to wipe off all my cans before I open them because of the little black specks they leave behind. I've fumigated already, set out poison, put all of my food in airtight plastic containers--I'm getting ready to just set fire to my house and collect the insurance! Please, someone tell me how to get rid of them so I can have company again without dying of embarrassment!

    Roach Pruf is a powder that you sprinkle around and behind everything. Never get paper bags at the grocery because they love the glue. They will even eat cat poo in the litter box. They like warm spots like behind tv's and computers too. I even had them inside of the grooves of my electric mixer once.
