Our apartment developed a terrible roach infestation roughly a year ago; it started slowly with just a few showing up at night, so we set out Raid traps, but then got to be really, really, REALLY bad, and nothing we tried was working.
We were eligible for free extermination services (benefits of living in our particular apartment complex) and I got the place sprayed pretty much every other week, but it still didn't really get much better, even though I was keeping the house as clean as possible and doing everything I could not to attract them.
Turned out our pest problem was caused by the people who lived behind us, who had a much worse infestation and never bothered to do anything at all to fight it. When they moved out, the entire building got fogged, and with regular spraying and some bait placements, things quickly turned around. The exterminator said we'd probably never be entirely free of them, but we've been roach-free for a few weeks now!

I used to be completely unable to kill bugs and would have to wake up my husband to come and do it, but after this experience, I'm pretty much a pro at killing cockroaches, as long as they're under a certain size (the ones we had only got up to about half an inch, thankfully; any bigger, and I just can't do it).

Yep. My last place was an apartment block that shared an underground parking and bin area.
The whole place needed to be fumigated regularly to keep the population under control. So frustrating!

Glad yours is better now.
