ORKIN MAN TO THE RESCUE !!! At lesat a former Orkin man.
Roaches love electronic equipment, dvd/vcr's, tv's, phones, clock radios, etc - its a heat source - such as your Xbox. The new born roaches (called nymphs) are small enough to be able to fit thru the end vents on the xbox and will make it their home. Roahces for the most part will hang out in cracks & crevices during the day, and will venture out at night to find food. If you see them out during the day then the population is so large that they are running out of hiding spots. One of the worse things you can do is"spray" for them - being that they are not a "social" pest, meaning it's every roach for it's self, they don't share food with each other - they do warn others of dangers, so if you spray an area with a roach killing spray, you'll kill the ones you spray as most products are a contact killer, but you may end up scattering the one's in the near by area and spreading them out.
What you'll want to get, either a professional to do a baiting program to eliminate them, or, if you plan to tackle the issue by yourself, get a hold of a product and you can put down in the areas where roaches are present that acts as a food source for them, but is actually an insecticide that will kill them - one product we used that worked great was called MAXFORCE - not sure if you can get this product yourself or not, but it came in a tube and came out like a gel - roaches feed on it and then die from it.
One thing to keep in mind - roaches have been know to cause breathing problems isuch as asthma n people who have not had any history of respritory issue before.
If you need more info - PM me and I'd be glad to help
