I’ll add a few more considerations to this discussion.
Gaps beneath the doors should be minimized. Door sweeps are a good option, but
only if the floor or threshold beneath the door is level. The Xcluder sweeps,

Assuming these are American cockroaches, they're likely from the sanitary
drains. Check all floor drains to ensure the traps are hydrated. If you're

drains. In some cases, you may need to have the sanitary lines
