They will always find some way of getting in, just use one of the sprays available in the supermarkets and spray around the bottom of the doors and windows, that should kill them off quickly. A better but more expensive spray is available in the small DIY shop around the corner from Paddy's Point in La Zenia. If you are getting more than a few roaches then contact Pests R Us Spain, by Googling their name to find their website, to get professional advice.

This is unusual unless it is a ground floor apartment. You need to find out where they coming from and why. Put down cockroach powder inside and outside every door and window. Also under sinks and back of cupboards, also washing machine exit hose outlet.

Fumigate the place everywhere with spray, close all doors and windows, wear a mask, then go out for several hours. Use strong disinfectant down all drains. Keep sink plugs in. Never have open doors or windows without insect screens.

At first you may find a lot of dead one's, but the problem should stop in time.
