In my book Home Safe Home I give some general recommendations for controlling pests without pesticides:
* don’t give them food
* don’t give them water
* don’t give them shelter
More details are on pages 136-137.
Here are some links to online resources that give detailed descriptions of how to control cockroaches without chemicals:
* Sierra Club: Hey Mr. Green: Nontoxic Roach Control
* Steve Tvedten’s “The Bug Stops Here”: Intelligent Controls for Cockroaches
