Does bleach help kill or prevent cockroaches?

Issue
I have recently moved into an apartment and my neighbor told me that he has cockroaches and I don't want them. I keep my house clean but still. Please help!!!

Best Tip

Those critters will take a bath in the bleach, laugh and have babies.
Here's what does work pretty well.
Keep all food- all of it, in air tight containers- if they have nothing to eat, they don't come around as much.
Apply diatomaceous earth powder (pool companys stock it) under rugs, and inside cabinets- along the edges- under the 'fridge- this stuff is irritating for people and pets to breath, so make sure it's in a location that pets & people won't get to easily.
What this diatomaceous earth does it scratch the waxy coat on bugs- and if that waxy bug coat is distrurbed, they loose their bodies mositure and die- works great- I lived in a roach fest place years ago, and we won the roach war with it.no, but there are sprays and pastes you can put down, and tell your landlord to fumigate!
i've never tried it, but those roach sprays work great. we had a roach behind the stove and sprayed around the lineoleum. he instantly went belly up. you have to lay down some traps as well. if that doesn't work, call a professional. if your connected to other apartments, everyone has to spray, otherwise they move to safer ground.
cockroaches do not like a clean house but once in you need to clean the entire building one apartment will infect the rest.
Use poison baits, boric acid and insect traps. To kill cockroaches, ants, and termites, sprinkle borax in suspect areas
