I lived in tropical Miami-Dade for over 40 years where the palmetto bugs are .......
2 inches long & they fly 
Since I don't like to breathe in pesticide and have the residue everywhere, I always preferred to use those Combat Roach Motels -
they really work great - ya just have to remember to replace them per the instructions - every month, or 3 months ? (I forgot). I placed them under furniture, in closets, etc. and the only roaches I saw were occasional dead ones :
