I use Insect spray on places the normally hang out... You cannot kill them all, and every home has it. Best thing to do is to secure your foods from them... To avoid food contamination, cause they are deadly!!!

Every home does not have them. They are almost impossible to get rid of. I have used a gel sold at most stores in the S.E., I have guarantied it to several people, and never have given any one their money back because it did not work!

We have a quarterly treatment by a pest control company. We do not have a problem

Here's something unusual you could try, buy a ghecko (small lizard) as a pet and let it run loose in your house. Roaches and crickets are their normal diet.

I don't have any. Don't get paper bags as that is a source of bringing them into your home.

Clean your home maybe. They only stick arund in dirty homes. But since you want a different answer get the bug bombs or foggers

they do not only stick around in dirty homes, sure left out food and stuff like that can attract them, but it doesn't matter how clean your place is, sometimes you will still get cockroaches

We use a surface spray that gets rid of them and their eggs, it's supposed to last for up to 6 months but doesn't always! We have a few little ones every now and then, they live behind the hot water tank where it's warm.
