What can i do about the roaches in my bird cage?

Every night i have atleast 5 roaches in my lovebirds cage crawling around.I have tried moving the cage,bay leaves,roach traps,i keep my cage clean and i keep my room clean.I cant use the borax because we also have cats,other birds and a mouse.

1. ah I sure hope you don't think all you have is 5 roaches in your house.. If you have even 1 cockroach, you have hundreds and those hundreds will multiply quickly into thousands.... If you are in an apartment building, the only way is to get the landlord to call an exterminator or call one yourself and pay for it yourself. Problem with that is - - - if your apartment is the only one treated by the exterminator, those little cockroaches (who have outlasted since the STONE AGE) will just set up house in the apartment next to yours until the chemicals dissipate and then they will move back to YOUR place and once again you will have a problem.. If you have your own house, call an exterminator (Orkin Pest Control for one) and get a free estimate... you will probably have to leave your house and remove your pets when they come do the work (due to the chemicals) but you can get rid of the pests in one or two treatments but ONLY if the entire place is done at the same time. Roaches like warm places... (backs of stoves, near heaters, etc)... good luck
