The mere sight of a cockroach causes some people to have a mild heart-attack.

Some can even live for up to a year! A female German cockroach can carry around 40 eggs, and if you don't deal with the bugs quickly, your home will be crawling with creepy roaches. 

Yes, using insect repellent spray will kill them is seconds, but you are likely to inhale the spray which may cause some discomfort. 

And you certainly don't want your little ones breathing in the fumes. 

You could hire a pest control specialist, but that is likely to put a dent in your budget! 

So before you do any of the above, why not try some of these easy remedies to get rid of them? 

Good housekeeping also helps - a lot!
