We are coming out on Thursday, not having been out for a year. No doubt we will find some cockroaches in the house, does anyone have a good remedy to get rid of them please?

Yes, a brush and shovel. You’ll probably find them on their back (brown bread). To stop an ongoing Issue, try using the product I’v uploaded a picture of. Obtained from Más y Más, just short of a fiver but it appears to keep them out of my house. Good hunting.

I've been leaving these plug in devices called Riddex. You can buy them from Amazon es. They're about 7 euros each. They seem to be working ok. There's also an insecticide floor wash called KH7 that someone recommended on this forum also.
