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

Mix icing sugar(cockys love it) with plaster of paris, when they eat it the plaster sets and death to thy cockroach!!

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.
