Roaches and how to get rid of them?

I moved in with my real father a few months ago and he told me that the house is built off the ground. It seems like my room is the only room in the entire house to get roaches. They crawl in from the crack of where the carpet meets the wall and i am terrified of bugs. I keep the room very clean, vacuum everyday, it seems like the spray that i spray at the crevice of my entire room only work for a little bit. Like the roach would crawl in and sometimes die or sometimes live. its a 50/50 chance with these guys. How can i get rid of them or stop them from only coming into MY room (and its the cleanest in the whole entire house!)? I just experienced a flying roach last night and i almost had a panic attack. i seriously have a huge fear on bugs and i need to stop this asap. any help please?Roaches and how to get rid of them?
Have you heard of Naphthalene flakes? It's like ground up moth balls.

You can buy it the hardware store. Sprinkle it around any place where you think those little buggers are getting in. They hate it.

If you can't get any, smear some Vicks in the same places.

You can also catch them, by using empty margarine containers, still with margarine smeared around the inside. Leave the containers out and about. The roaches will be attracted to them and won't be able to get out. In the morning, collect your containers and kill the roaches.

Good fun, eh?Roaches and how to get rid of them?
Like 'Stepherd... said Boric acid at all cracks for the time being, but if they are big southern Palmeto bugs,,, get a exterminator to spray even the trees. these beasts can survive on dinosaur bones and wallboard,glue,paper,insulation,,, etc. BTW, they say that they are very clean but buggy!
Hotshot, arpro and combat put out gels that come with syringes that makes it easier to put it in cracks. The roaches eat this and go back to their nest. They die and the other roaches eat them. There can be 40 dead roaches via one dead roach. This will get rid of the nest. Tree roaches fly, so there are roaches in the trees. Sealing up the crack they are coming in after you kill them would be good. Having some dead roaches for the others to eat would be good.
Put Boric acid in all the edges along the wall,that is their favorite place to travel.Clean up all the food,don't have any open packages left,rinse out cans before you put them in the trash.Take all the garbages out of your house daily.If there is any food anywhere they can get at,they will be back.Cleanliness is the key.

I lived in an apartment complex with thousands of roaches and this is the method I used and didn't have any.

Of course another reason they might of left my apartment is not just cause there was no food but there was someone else with bad cleaning habits nearby and just migrated there.Boric acid works great though,it dehydrates them.Be careful if you have pets and see if it will be ok to use around them I am not sure,but I think Boric acid is relativly harmless.

One more thing if you see an eggsack laying around,(they look almost like a tic tac lol)squish it in some toilet paper and flush it down the toilet,don't let it sit around it will make alot more roaches.
The rule with cockroaches is that if you just see one, it's not a big deal. If you see two or more, it's time to call in a professional. I know it's not the answer you wanted to hear, but in my experience as a home owner, it's good to know when to do the job yourself and when to call in a true professional. With cockroaches - two or more shows a REAL problem that really only a pro should and can handle.
You need a professional exterminator ... If you have roaches, they are in the whole house .. you just haven't seen them outside of your room .
roach spray
i no what u mean by panick attack. a while ago this huge one flew on my chest out of nowhere and i think i screamed like a girl lol. but i think the best is to put roach traps like everywhere and i mean like 10 in a room. youll be surprised how many you get.
Transform into Rambo, but with RAID cans!
