    assuming there is no getting rid of them completely, we keep a spray bottle handy with soapy water inside. the soap breaks down their oils so they can't move as fast, because some are like lightning. Keep spraying them until immobile, then kill it really good, because they like to play dead sometimes too.

    i've had no luck with roach motels or any store bought product. i've seen exterminators use this stuff that sorta looks like sawdust which seem seem to work pretty well.
