1. Step one is to actually know that a cockroach is rather hard to kill and come in a variety of species. The American, German and Oriental are all species you may have to encounter. Every Cockroach desires something with a little moisture and food. First step in combating them secure all food. You will be surprised how much this will help you.

2. Second of all you also must understand that roaches not only live in your home but also in the great outdoors and beyond. So you kill the little buggers inside, there are a multitude more outside waiting for cold weather to invade. To make a roach free environment first search out you friendly local centipedes. Also you may want to try and attract parasitic wasps (the particular families are stated above) as they will not only parasitize adults but also nymphs and eggs as well. Just do a quick web search.

3. Ok the basics are covered. Next to limit movement into your home screen or cover everything that could lead into your home, pipes, cracks and septic systems just to name a few. Take some caulk also and caulk any areas that have cracks (this may also help with your ant problems), but before you caulk stuff some steel wool into the cracks just to make things interesting for the roaches. Now its on to the actual battle.

4. Two methods will be discussed here and in the following step. For the first one you will need borax powder, flour and cocoa powder. Use in a mixture of 4:2:1 respectively. Now spread liberally along places (i.e. damp places stick with what you have learned) and wait. This approach takes a little while to work, and can be quite messy when the powder gets wet. You can also use other roach motels and the like to help with the deadliness.

5. Home remedy number two is as follows. Place a jar with water and coffee grounds next to a wall you see Cockroaches frequenting. This will attract and allow them to fall into the trap and drown. Quick easy and simple way to deal with the nasty roach.

6. Ok while you are at it do the final step and get some chemicals (this is if you desire it). Look for things that are safe to use indoors and directly attack roaches.
