We’ve had roaches off and on. Stuck steel wool around pipes where there is space between pipes and wall. Our Roomba-type sweeper picked up two; on alive and one dead. We’ve closed tub drains and sprayed inside. Also have those sticky traps all over.

Based on what I’ve read here, I think I’ll try Borax, also.

Cannot stand them. They crunch when I step on them. Sometimes they fly. And they’re fast! I’d rather find an anole or black snake than a roach! Roaches make me shudder.

P.S. oh, I also kept clean towels under the bathroom sink. I pulled all of them out and found roaches and roach poop. I guess they were nesting? Blech! Did find in the dishwasher, too. How do they get in there?! Drives me nuts!
