Vacuum them. Trust me... I used to do maintenance in a pretty borderline shoddy apartment complex. I learned a few tips and tricks from the exterminators XD

Vacuum the holy fucking shit out of everything. Drag the hose attachment across all of your baseboards too.

This stuff was great during The Great Roach War of 1985.Β  The battle commenced, after a few random skirmishes, when I went to check when a class project was due and the buggers poured out of the calendar on the wall as I flipped the month.Β  I bought a couple of cans (maximum overkillΒ for an upstairs efficiency apt. in a house, but this was WAR) and unleashed the fury.Β Β 

A few weeks later, an Orkin guy shows up at my door & asks if I have any roaches.Β  I tell him no, worried that the landlord might not like my like my scorched earth policy.Β  He leaves to head for the basement.Β  He comes back a couple of minutes later and says, "What are you doing?" (damn, he knows!), "I've got dead & dying roaches all over the place in the basement".Β  I tell him & he says, "Well, keep it up!Β  You're making my job easier."

Naturally, since it worked it has been pulled off the market.Β  In case you're too young to know about it, the stuff not only poisoned them, but shrunk the wings on the males that survived.Β  That made them unable to breed.Β  The active ingredients were "2,4 Dodecadienoic acid, 3,7,11-Trimethyl-,Ethyl Ester, [S-(E,E)]-Permethrin".
