Lol roaches…. um yeah I do we called it voodoo chalk….. do you have a china town near you ask a dry good person for roach chalk. ….. what ever it is they won’t cross it.
If your building is infested hard to deal with other than let it freeze solid for a few days.
Other plants they hate are strongest is catnip, garlic, hedge apples, cucumber. Garlic or cat crushed in oil (let it sit for a week if possible) then sprayed keeps them away for weeks…. the other two you need fairly fresh which is a pain.
If outside get a guinea foul… those things love roaches
