I will answer but I feel this is off topic from the original question, so I apologize in advance.

For roaches, put sprigs of Rosemary in every cabinet. The roaches leave. The are probably in Alabama or Mississippi by now - I use a lot of Rosemary!

When we have an abundance of cucumbers in the garden I also place cucumber peels in a shallow dish here are they around the kitchen. Roaches dislike the smell of cucumbers.

You could also place garlic cloves in the cabinets but that would also repel the vampires... Whistling Rolling on the floor laughing

Diatonaceous Earth (DE) can be sprinkled here and there, that helps a bit.

If I did not have cats/dogs as pets I would buy a house Gecko and let it loose in the house, leaving a dish of fresh drinking water. A Gecko works fast and cheap. Thumbs up

Or make some catnip tea, let it cool, put it in a spray bottle and use it to keep the roaches away -no not use this method if you value your cat's sanity!

I will now leave and let you all get back to the original question; sorry for the interruption. *Blush*
