I keep a clean house.  I have lived in this house over nine years and never had roaches.  In the past month I have been fighting the little German roaches.  We have "bombed" twice, sprayed bug-b-gone, bangle, bayer bug spray, put out boric acid and diatomaceous earth.  We take all trash out at night, there is no food on counter, we have treated out side and in side.  We find the roaches around and in sink and dishwasher.  Could they be coming up through the drain?  Any ideas?  Please help these thing freak me out.  In my 30+ years of housekeeping I have never had roaches. 4951

The little German roaches are almost indestructible. You need to call a professional exterminator. I highly recommend Cox. They are listed in the business section.  4951

I think they are drawn to the water. Make sure all the cracks and crevices around the dishwasher are sealed properly or they will just keep coming in no matter how many you kill off. Pretty sure there could be a nuclear war and those nasty creatures would still survive... 4951

We use Bengal spray can (found it at Kroger) for prevention.  However, it sounds like they are established in your home.  They breed like...... well, roaches, so most of them were born in your house.  As mentioned above, call a professional to wipe them out. 4951

I dont want to gross you out but check a couple of things... Pull your fridge out from the wall and make sure you do not see an infestation behind there...   Also if you keep newspaper or paperbags check those areas as well. Good luck!! 4951

Your going to have to call in a pro. They will need to come out quite often until they are gone. Neighbors had them 1 time. If they are in the kitchen. I'd suggest to buy totes and keep everything in them. They could of come in from outside or even something that you bought from the store. Good luck. 4951

The bug person should put pesticides in your walls via the light switches. I had my house done in Crosby because of the endless supply of critters, and I don't think I ever saw a bug in that house. The guy took off a bunch of the switch plates and sprinkled granules in the wall. 4951

MY co-worker had them in his dishwasher recently & had to call a pro. After putting bleach in the drains the part of the drain in the sink  & disposal outline at night with dish soap, like dawn or whatever you use. 4951
