Small insects and spiders in my bathroom sink at night?

Question

I've had a problem with small spiders and a nice sized one before.  But now i keep getting spiders in my bathroom sink at night, and my first baby roach in more than 2 months.  They're always in my bathroom sink at night.

I live in an apartment and pest control is supposed to be coming, they do a good job to.  But what can i do to prevent this from becoming a problem?  I'm planning on getting a couple of cans of spray tomorrow, some gold bengal spray and something elese, but i just had to use poison, the stuff i currently have makes me sneeze and cough so much.

When i woke up this morning i also found a dead mosquito where i had sprayed in the sink, and out of no where my first baby roach.  It looked less than an inch long and it was black, I just don't want to have a roach problem.  My house is very clean and sanitary, an apartment and i'm currently waiting for pest control to arrive.

Unfortunately, living in apts, you have to rely on neighbors being scrupulously clean or you cannot really do much about pest problems.  

YOu can try applying diatomaceous earth to every crack and crevice in your house, including behind sockets and light switch plates, but this will make your apt very dusty.  It's totally organic an nontoxic to mammals, but it's a very fine dust. If you're sensitive, this is probably not wise...but it does work.

let a little water stand in the sink to drown the pests.
