Don't usually get cockroaches in our house,haven't for a few years now,but have had a couple this last week.

We live in a quad house,so they could be getting in anywhere?

We have a garden.

Could we put some sort of insecticide on the garden,that would deter them,but not harm the plants?

I'm not comfortable in the house now?

The constant use of spraying inside,will kill us before the 'roaches'.

Gracias.

We have had an ongoing problem with Cockroaches and I put together a bit of a guide from what we learned. I will add that since then I have sprayed all my outdoor pot  plant pots with Oro as it seems that is where they hide,https://spain-info.co.uk/gardening/cockroaches-eliminating-them/  Hope that helps a bit but we just hate them.

Hello

 Ive had a couple already and last night, I went to the bathroom & as I was leaving I saw  one .....on my toothbrush!!!   I sprayed it insitu but it got away and I am just back from buying  new toothbrushes Ughh

 I know they get in through an inaccessible wall (to me) where the plumbing is behind the wash basin/drawers.

Cheers
