How do I get rid of roaches and other insects without using a bug bomb or other chemicals?
Answers:
while leaving the food and water out to feed the cat, you're feeding the bugs too! Put food and water dishes away at night, like seal them in a plastic bag, or set them outside, or even in the fridge, if you don't think that's gross. ( I do) Leave NO food sitting out, seal every thing in those big freezer bags, or you can get nice plastic containers at Family dollar, and dollar stores. Make sure ther are no crumbs of food on counters, floors, etc. and tie up, or set out the trash at night. If they can't eat at your place, they'll move on, but sounds like it's gonna take a long time. The other cool thing you can do is get a few Venus Fytraps! They are the coolest plant and actually do catch bugs. Set a few around your home in different rooms. But don't be silly like I was, and like touch them with something just to watch them snap shut, I didn't know at the time, but It makes them starve, and will kill the plant. (As it did mine.) Also, I think you can outline your walls with salt, along the floors, of course, I know it works for some bugs, ants, etc. Can't hurt to try, salt is inexpensive in most places. Other than that, keep everthing spotless. (Not always easy, I know) I think they also have a boric acid, or a roach powder, in a yellow bottle, available at Kroger's, and I think it works pretty well, but if you have kids or pets, you may want to read it. Also, I noticed they like to live under kitchen sinks, so keep it clean and dry under there, and keep a roach trap, or powder under there for them to get into. Any ways, that's all the tips I have, I hope I helped you. have a great day.

use the bombs it is much better than burning down the house. both methods will get the bugs out of the house. just with the bombs you still have a house.
You could try bug bombs (for a single wide I would suggest at least 4 throughout all the rooms) but take the cats outside for a few hours and put their food / water away. If they don't work for you then you are going to have to call in the pros for this one. I personally don't know how you could stand it for this long. That is awful! Think of the germs they are spreading around. I understand you are low income, but you have to get rid of them, no matter the cost.
