OP, trust me I feel you... I have traumatizing roach stories for days. I won't get started on them since this thread has enough nastiness in it already,but I will tell you, one of the best things that ever happened to me was when my sister moved back into the house with her two cats.
Cats > raid, boric acid, shoes, etc when it comes to killing roaches, spiders, mice or whatever
I'm telling you, go to your local pet store and get one of those super energetic, extra feisty cats that can spend their entire day attacking anything thatmoves. Spend about a week training it by having it chase a shoelace around or by throwing little wads of paper it can pounce on (be creative, its actually alot more entertaining than it sounds) and in no time you'll have a certified roach assassin patrolling your hallways.
I can't tell you how many times I've been chilling in a room thinking everything is peace when all of the sudden one of those cats will come runningfrom the other side of the house to instantly murk one of those massive/mutant/legs so long you can see under it's body when its standing on thefloor/antennas twice it's body length/flying/texas roaches that was hiding behind a corner like 5 feet away from me.
The slaughter can be gross to watch, and sometimes the cats try to play with the roach too much instead of just going directly for the kill, but after havingthem in the house for a few months you'll see a significant decrease in the amount of roach encounters
