We use outdoor spray, and rat bait. It seems that what kills rats, kills cockies too!

Make sure there isen`t anything for them to eat left about the place, put a few cockroach bait traps in strategic places, and have screens on windows and doors help.
If all else fail, race them, and if you win you beat the roach ! Ha ha dat`s funny, no?

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
