### **4. Cockroach Traps**
In addition to the repellents, I used cockroach traps to monitor the infestation and catch any remaining roaches. These traps are inexpensive and can help you track the progress of your efforts. I placed sticky traps near the areas where I had seen the most activity.
### **5. Regular Monitoring and Maintenance**
To ensure the cockroaches didn’t come back, I continued to monitor my apartment for signs of infestation. I kept cleaning regularly, checking traps, and reapplying the natural repellents as needed. Over time, the cockroach sightings decreased, and eventually, I didn’t see any at all.
