I just have a couple of ant traps in the kitchen - behind the front door and next to the leg of the built-in table extension that sticks out of the wall. I also have some plastic roach motels for "large" roaches under the kitchen sink, under the oven, and one behind the microwave on the counter. Haven't seen any roaches or ants in the house this past year.
We use LeeCo for pest control on the lawn, but he's not allowed to spray in my garden because I grow herbs in big planters that I use for cooking in there. My garden is 100% organic - I don't use any pesticides, and I only add a palmful of organic plant food (ground worm castings, chicken poop, and bone meal) when I do the initial planting of a new addition to the garden. I don't even water it after that. Nature does what it does, and if nature wants it to grow, it grows. If it dies, I replace it with something else.
