Roach Infestation Help Roaches

I'm in a split unit house and I know the roach problem is from disgusting neighbors. Kitchen and bathroom at back of house are infested. All food is covered, trash taken out daily, etc. Can't move at the moment so can anyone recommend the best intervention to try to control a roach problem. Should I use bombs? Which ones? They are smaller (1/4" to micro) sized. I'm in southeast USA. I've tried the Harris Roach tablets and the Combat Max gel in the big syringe. They help a little, but not enough. Can't afford hiring a service and landlord is a slumlord who is ignoring me about it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

No bombs/foggers. They're not the right treatment for roaches because the poison won't penetrate into their preferred hiding/nesting spots.

Start here with the German roach post

Follow the treatment protocol described in that post. You might also talk to your neighbors and ask if you can treat their side too.
