Roaches are ruining my life. How do I get rid of them?!
There are two main kinds of roaches you'll find. The first are German roaches, and these are the ones that live inside of cabinets, behind the fridge, and around the stove. They multiply in huge numbers. You can eliminate them completely by using Raid or a similar repellent. A targeted approach is essential. Usually, you want to isolate the affected area so you can treat the kitchen without making the problem bigger and prevent the roaches from spreading. It's crucial to place bait for the roaches. So you keep applying that for a week or two weeks until you can control the problem.

The other kind of roaches are American roaches or Oriental roaches, also called water bugs, which come out once in a while but are usually found in basements. For these, you can spray some repellant in the basement around the places that you see them come out from because these kinds of roaches live in the sewer, and you cannot kill all the roaches in the sewer. So all you can do is stop them from getting inside your place. Any commercial roach repellent will work.
