  Caulking is troublesome and not allways effective where it counts, as an
  added method use Boric acid powder.

  It used to be sold for an eyewash, but someone found that you could go
  blind if you pounded the entire box into your eyes so it's off the market
  as such. However, it is still available in bright yellow squeeze bottles
  under the name of Roach-proof and Oatmeal size cans as Roach-Away. Just
  poof a trail of powder as a baricade. They (the ants and roaches too) go
  away after a day or so.
