So I was sitting at my desk just now when I feel something run

This is why I love living in a frozen shithole. No bugs. Call an exterminator or move to canada. Sage.

Dont try and build your own cockroach traps, chances are youre not going to get the needed chemicals and they'll outsmart you somehow (tricky little bastards)
>go buy some quality cockroach traps and buy lots, then maybe take the weekend off, clean your apartment from any food, breadcrumbs and seal everything real good

Unless it's a german cockroach, I think you're overreacting. Take care of any water leaks or other sources of moisture.

If german, consider calling a pro.
I'm not usually a buyfag but I've warred with those bastards before and a pro would be better equipped to kill them without also poisoning you.

You could start a worldwar. That has been known to dissolve cockroach empires.

Remove the source of their food.
If you live in an apartment building get in contact with your neighbours and inform them to do the same. Seal all food and make sure there's no breadcrumbs lying around.

Then the next step is filling the holes that they're using to get into your apartment.

Get a big bag of diatomaceous earth and a duster.

Dust all the dark areas in the house. Dust under the sink, in the pantry, in cracks, in crawspaces, everywhere. Completely harmless to mammals but is shoah for invertebrates.

as other anons have said, clean up. Cockroaches can live off of all sorts of non food items including box glue and adhesives on envelopes. So really clean up. Next, the diatenacious earth is a good idea, so is borax. Boric Acid. Nearly harmless unless you were to consume like... sixteen ounces in a single sitting. But the buggers get the stuff on their feet and clean it off, it destroys them from the inside out. Not a poison in as much. Anyhow, good luck!
