LOL.  Clean your kitchen.  If that doesn't get rid of the cockaroaches, then call an exterminator.

Moving out of the tropics might also help.

Here's what you need to do: Kill one and put the head on a tiny pike out in the front yard as a warning to all the others.

The effectiveness of subsonic pest repellents are questionable, but you can buy them online or at a supermarket. Be sure to do you research so you aren't duped by some half-assed chunk of plastic. Make sure you place it in the open because the acoustics of sound change as they bounce of furniture and walls, rendering it infective.

I recommend doing the following.

One part powdered (not granular) boric acid (go to a pharmacy or drug store)
One part white flour
One part granulated white sugar

Place in the back of your cabinets, under the fridge and anywhere else that they might be crawling around. Clean and replace as needed. It will most likely solve your problem in a month or two.

I hope that your problems get better  :-).
