Best product to kill German Roaches
Has anyone ever dealt with these horrible things? I've tried the boric acid,borax, foggers,sprays, even professionals have come twice but I fear they will come back. Should I just keep doing follow ups with pest control? Will have to do that forever?
Please share your experiences.

Caulk and protect the heck out of that place.. as an exterminator told me, if light or water can get through there.. so can the roaches... With 1- 675 sq ft apartment, we use 17 tubes of caulk.. anywhere and everywhere you can think of.. put it there! i would suggest trying different exterminators... and check their processes..
Orkin just pushes them in the walls, but doesn't eliminate the problem, whereas other bug companies will go through and actually try and kill them vs. regular services. It may be more expensive (mine was $400) but it's worth it!
