Here cockroaches are called water bugs. They are not even in the same weight class as a NY, NJ roach.

You are doing something. or not doing something that makes your home attractive to them. They can and do come up the drains. Vinegar a mild acid down the drain about a cup once a week will stop that and clean your drains. Food you want to put all of it into plastic containers. Corrugated cardboard boxes, they love to nest in them. Your refrigerator. Crumbs collect under it. It is a choice breeding spot.
