More roach questions.?

How can I get roaches out of electronics such as televisions, my personal computer, the key board too,(my key board is older so I can't open it much). How do I keep them out ? I don't want to cover them I don't want them to over heat.. I know these dang things Love electronics, hidding in them, feeding, mating, etc. It's driving me,"buggy" for sure.. I couldn't resist. Professional pest control secrets would really help here.. I know I can't buy your pro products, so what's the next choise here? Do it your self pest control products, what works really good? I am getting a professional pest control service finally, but I'd sure like a Good head start.. It will be a few weeks before I can afford this.. I am very low income.. I'm not the only one out here in this boat I am sure. My roaches laugh at borex acid. What other dusts can I use, baits and gels too, what works best ? More natural the better.. Help again.. Thanks..

1. Use the bombs! Saturate your carpets with whatever you can find at your local Home Depot. Then call in the Orkin man, by then, you probably won't need to.
2. "Bengal" brand sprays are expensive (~$10/can) but very effective for eradication. They spray a dry powder which might be better than wet stuff around electronics. Check your nearest Feed or Farm store, too (there are usually still one or two left, even in big cities). They typically have some of the products professionals use that are not available in most other stores.
3. THERE IS THIS ELECTRONIC DEVICE THAT U PLUG INTO ANY OUTLET AND IT SENDS OFF A VIBRATION THAT ROACHES DONT LIKE WORKS GREAT FOR MICE TOO YOU CAN GET IT AT ANY HOUSEWARES /HARDWARE STORE OR ORDER IT OFF OF THE TV
4. use only boric acid powder, put in shallow containers like pringles lids, place under fridge, stove, in back of cabinets, on top of cabinets, in the base cabinets, under sinks, if you dont have children who can get exposed to it, or pets place them in the corners of all of the rooms, closets, bathroom, etc, if they get wet replace them, if its dry powder and the roach walks through it , it gets in his side gills, and drys his body out from the inside out, it will take about two weeks , but it should kill them, they take it back to the nest and the young die as well, if you have a garage do it there too, you can get it in the poisons section of the hardware store as Ortho boric acid, or you can get it in small cans in the oldfashioned drugstores. It really works, its also sold under the brand name Roach Pruf i think thats how it was spelled, but the brand name is more expensive and its all just boric acid powder. it can make kids and pets sick if they get into it, but likely wouldnt be fatal, but it really is fatal to roaches. good luck.
5. There is a guy who gave me this answer, mix boric acid,sugar and dry powdered milk together and place them in saucers or such around your house near corners , plumbing ect. don't forget by cracks , under appliances and what not it has actually started to work for me.
6. you might want to use roach bombs,,use this a couple times,,the professionals don't work very well,,,this is something you will have to keep at, don't stop fighting them when you do u lose...they also make roach bate for a caulking gun to put around everything and it stays for a very long time..it comes out like caulking...and drys like caulking..make sure you keep all food up and sealed good don't leave dog or cat food around..if you have to put everything in the fridge that is eatable
