Answers:
The only answer here based in anything resembling truth is the boric acid one. And even that is unlikely to work.
I know its not what you want to hear, but we are talking about cockroaches, insects that will probably survive the apocalypse. There is no natural remedy that will wipe them out once you have them living and breeding in your home.
Look. The products used to control pests aren't what they used to be. If you really believe that a spray that dries almost on contact is going to negatively effect your breathing, and I do understand your concern, then go outside while they spray and then take a walk, go to the grocery store, or hang out in your hammock in the yard for a half hour. I bet you can't even slightly sense the presence of any chemicals when you return to your living space.
I work for a major pest control company and nothing holistic is going to yield any real or lasting results. And as far as your breathing condition:
Cockroaches in the home environment are a health hazard not only because of the risks posed by cockroach antigens to ASTHMA sufferers, but also because they can carry serious disease-causing germs.
Poison perhaps? Something you can lay out for them to eat, and then they all croak.
mix Tabasco mixed with water will get rid of them. It is how my grandmother rid them when I was a kid and it works. Just get a spray bottle and fill it with water then about 8 drops per pint.
my mom used to make something using boric acid and rolled it into balls and put it throughout the house in out of the way places. It worked really good. sorry i don't know how to make them but you might be able to google it and find out. good luck
DDT. If you have breathing problems, cockroaches carry all kind of diseases that can cause serious respritory ailments. DDT. DDT. Lots of it. Spray it everywhere.Never say die. Kill the little freakin bastards.
You know that's how they killed kenny don't you.
God Bless
Hi. I used Boric Acid before and it worked great. It doesn't have an odor but you will need to keep animals away if you have cats/dogs. I generally align my apt. and even try to put some in outlets because roaches can crawl in them. Whenever they touch the acid, they carry it back to their nest and kill the rest. Whenever I use that, I don't see roaches anymore. Boric Acid is in a yellow bottle and can be found in wal-mart, family dollar, or any place like that.
