As for killing roaches I have found that using boric acid
(obtainable in any pharmacy) works wonders.  I suspect it
is cheaper than a product specifically aimed at killing
roaches, though I never checked.  All you have to do is spread
it around under counters and the like and the roach pop.
dies down pretty quickly.

It is bad for cats - but I never was a cat fan anyway.
