they must love the warmth and it's in a secluded area and has holes in it for them to come and go. ugh i hate bugs.

using some advion roach gel right now, hopefully it works. if anyone else has any suggestions tho, or has dealt w this problem in the past, pls comment.

Beat them to death with your fist

Eat them, shows dominance and good source of protein.

Are you eating crap near your PI box?

Get it elevated on a stand and then treat the supports so they can’t climb up

a sticky trap makes a good isolation platform

Move

don't bother with nukes, they don't work apparently

How in David Blaine's hell are these roaches getting into your Pi2AES?

The question shouldn't be how to keep them out of the pi2aes, it should be how to get rid of them in your home. Do a good cleanup and get rid of crumbs or anything they might be able to eat. Make sure food is stored in containers they can't get through. Remove sources of standing water or drips. Diatomaceous earth along all crevices and cracks. Seal up holes in the wall. Put out pesticide where you can safely do so.

Aside from using an alligator clip and smoking them til you get high, I suggest The Roach Motel parked next door to the pi. Kind of like a Waffle House for the opportunistic roaches. Worked like a champ in the 12th floor studio I had in Chevy Chase about 40 yrs ago.

Oh, this worked for ants that decided to march in my door near my desk a few years ago. Ground cinnamon, google seems to agree it works on roaches. Dust a tbs or so in a teacup saucer on either side of the pi and they should be repelled. But still do the motel a bit further away to trap them. And cinnamon is not toxic to us humans!

Preferably not in your hifi gear.
