Just wanted to share with everyone over here: I had almost zillion of cockroaches when i shifted into my house (@ rent)
I dont know how and why the previous tenants didnot notice these creepy characters. I tried using all sorts of sprays, like Baygon, OTHER big brands and spend almost 500 Bucks , but still these extra tenants did't leave


So here is the recipe (of disaster) for the roaches:

Mix 1 Part (ie 100 gms) of Boric Acid powder (which can be gotten from any chemist shop, even wipro has it) With 1 part (100 gms) of Wheat Flour (Can use a low quality loose flour , the one avlbl in shops) and 50 gms of sugar (preff grinded).
Sprinkle merrily on areas you feel their population / movement is more. They will come out in the night, in hunt for food and take the boric acid with them to their nests. The boric acid causes scratches over their wings / skin which leads them to dehydrate and Die or Leave the house.

One can also make balls of the above mixture (after mixing it with water) and put it at vantage points. to attract the roaches , put a small amount of flour+boric powder over it.

Please note that Boric acid is poisonous, so keep the powder/balls away from children

AH works okay but if you have pets, its lethal to them
a suggestion that works in my home, is orange peels
roaches hate the smell of them
so save your orange peels and then yes, throw them down on the floor, behind tables, shelves, cabinets, behind fridge, inside where food is and plates
it smells good, and even cats wont go near them
but roaches are gone for good
