How do I handle cockroaches

I had an inherrited tenant that was so discusting that I had to condemn the unit just to clean her out and at the time I payed for pest control to spray the unit. Move down the time line said tenant finally left the unit and there were cockroaches, we again payed for extermination and then told the tenants moving in (wanted her unit as we were finishing everything up ) that we had it fumigated. Move down the time line further they’ve been in since July, and in October they saw a cockroach. We put traps out and on their request we then had them prepare everything and sprayed AGAIN. At this point said new tenant is breaking their lease and want their deposit back and this is why Hello, Danielle and I were talking about it and we think it is not right that we are not getting our security deposit back. We moved into this apartment not knowing of this problem. We have spent a lot of our time off work going thru cleaning and moving everything we have. We can't move into another apartment because it is impossible not to carry cockroaches with us. Instead, everything is going into a storage and we will be moving back home. We have spent money on a storage unit, cockroaches preventatives, laundry ( everything has to be washed at the laundry mat). Why would you do??
