How to Get Rid of Cockroaches
Effective cockroach control is a sequence, not a single spray. Skipping any step is why infestations return.

Remove the water source
Fix dripping taps, dry the sink at night, and stop leaving wet cloths out. This alone slows breeding measurably.
Deep clean grease
Degrease behind the hob, under the fridge and inside cabinet corners. Grease film is a primary food supply.
Seal harborage
Fill cracks around pipework, skirting and cabinet joints with sealant. Fewer hiding places means baits get used.
Apply gel bait correctly
Small pea-sized dots in 20–30 locations near harborage beat one large blob. Never spray insecticide over bait — it repels roaches from it.

Insect growth regulators stop nymphs maturing. Without them, surviving eggs restart the infestation in 4–6 weeks.
Treat drains and shared lines
Floor traps and common soil pipes need attention, especially in older buildings.
Home remedies like boric acid, bay leaves and vinegar reduce visible activity but do not reach the nesting population inside walls and appliance voids. If sightings continue past two weeks of consistent effort, professional gel baiting plus growth regulator application is the reliable route.
