Baiting and spraying roaches that DON'T ORIGINATE FROM MY CONDO isn't going stop them from coming.  READ and UNDERSTAND my post before you reply.

Yes, you can't stop them from coming in from your neighbors.
That's why the easiest solution is baiting and spraying.
The better solution involves baiting and spraying every apartment.
Of course, that involves the condo association. IIRC when I lived in a condo, that is what happened.
Every apartment had a guy come in to spray. Does the building have an owners association?
What, Me Worry?

I have a little over half gallon of Chlordane.  Highly effective for ground termite treatment.

Save it for the vermin at the state capital

I've got an Ant and Roach problem in my condo.  I keep the kitchen clean but they seem to be coming from surrounding condos and have set up shop in my kitchen.  I've got an 8 month old and I live in the Pearl City area, any recommendations?
Then talk to your association if you are an owner, or talk to your landlord if you are just a tenant. It's true, being connected to other units do not help. sealing off entry points around plumbing and electrical can help.
Ask for reading and understanding the label, most folks don't follow the instructions, either applying too much or buying something that won't help with the specific issue. If you really want good results, clean out all your drawers and cabinet's in the kitchen and bath, seal what you can with either plumbers putty or expandable foam, bait all the nooks and crannies, then use a residual spray followed by an aerosol flushing agent. If you are having roach issues in rooms other than the kitchen and bath then you probably have a bigger issue then you think. Most labels will read safe when dry. Should you have concerns you can always download the MSDS and present that to your to Dr.
