I am trying to help a friend who lives in a crappy townhouse with college students and has a serious roach problem.

Suggestions?

"control" a cockroach infestation? Do you want to create an army of cockroaches under your control or something?

Don't call the exterminators, they'll just shoot holes in your walls and be cornered about to die until one of their members overcomes an emotional breakdown to come back and save them.

Grenade labeled with "HCN" on the side. Guaranteed to destroy every living thing in your house. Batteries not included. Not safe for children. Set it, and forget it.

LOL at ^^
Semen is the way to go... ;)
But, roaches can be a huge problem, and fumigation, methinks is too much of a hassle?? Perhaps bug bombs, or just move to a different townhouse, or call in the exterminators. Your call

thats what i would do...i had an infestation of fleas that were resistant to the first bombing...took 3 bomb sessions to kill the little bastards...i think many of them found good hiding spots...forget advantage on your dog for one month and a houseful of fleas move in...if you set the bombs be sure to leave the house sealed for several hours...and i would suggest bombing again in a week or so...to make sure you get the stragglers and any eggs that are recently hatched that werent killed by the first run...
