ゴキブリ駆除と対策！ - Shakunatz - 2012-10-04
Take out the garbage (food leftovers and so on) before sleeping. (this worked fine for me)
Clean everything as if your life depended on it, but don't get you hopes high. If they are already there is too late to rely on cleaning your room, as magamo said.
As Summer came, I noticed cockroaches entering in my apartments through the air conditioned system: chase them and find out where they come from...then buy traps!
Watch out for sprays and chemical stuff, if you don't use them wisely you could end up with other problems.

Well, I don't want to get used to them.
There is a reason why restaurant with cockroaches are forced to close XD
Do your best and let us know if you manage to get rid of them.

I once ate at a ramen place in Shinjuku and when I saw a roach I wanted to ask for my money back and storm out. But then I decided there was a chance that the Japanese fear of embarrassment compounded with their fear of gaijin would result in some kind of embarrassment in front of gaijin which could rip the space-time continuum and create a black hole or something. So I saved the Earth and left quietly.

Forget about ごきぶりホイホイ. Evolution seems to have long since weeded out the cockroaches that fell for that stuff.
There's something called CoMBAT (http://www.kincho.co.jp/wnew/combat.html) that seems to work better somehow even though it's the same principle. And never, ever squash a cockroach with your shoe or something. The eggs stick to their legs, so they are squashed onto the surface and will still hatch.
There's indeed no perfect solution if you live in a humid country, but cleanliness and tight-locking food containers (cereal goes into the fridge, too...) will help a lot... or get a lizard. Ideally a gecko.
