Over the years I learned how to take care of it myself. Until the last 8 years of living bug-free where I do now, I found that calling an exterminator wasn't very effective. Whatever they use, and it seems a lot of sprays in general, aren't that potent and don't kill right away if at all.
I'll tell you what works and I learned this by trial and error. Get some Raid Max and zap them directly as you see them. They keel over nearly immediately as its a very potent spray. I would do that, then clean it all up, and repeat as needed. We had a bad infestation that came from somewhere upstairs after (mis)management did some repairs in the kitchen wall and didn't repair the opening under the sink and we had to tape a board over it. So after some trial and error, I got the Raid Max and after a few weeks of see/spray/clean for the last hiding ones to get hungry enough to come out for food, they were gone for good. That wouldn't have happened with the monthly exterminator bullshit (and even once bombing the apartment) because we'd been through that before.
