I have an incredibly serious fear of big cockroaches and I live in South Florida near the Everglades?

I have lived in my current home for 7 years and I surprisingly have not had many problems with bugs in my home. Usually during the rainy season, there will be a few cockroaches that come up through the drain in the first floor bathroom so I avoid that bathroom altogether because it’s small and I may seriously injure myself in such a small space if I see a cockroach in there. I don’t know where this fear comes from but it is more along the lines of a PHOBIA! My question is how do I avoid them getting into my home through the drain. A few minutes ago I saw one crawling on the floor outside of the bathroom and I nearly lost my mind. I do not have any bug spray so I sprayed it to death with Febreze!!!! I need to know if there is anything I can put down the drain to keep them from even coming up? Is there a home product that I can use? A tablet or something?

They are not cockroaches! They are water bugs! I use to live there and use to see all sorts of large bugs on sidewalks that looked like cockroaches but weren’t, they were water bugs.
Water bugs, Cockroaches I don’t care .. They are nasty..Try some roach pruf Powder..I put it everywhere..Even down the drain..if the drain is dry it will stick to the sides of the pipe, where they crawl.. then just keep applying
ewww. i **** those things too. have you tried putting a good rubber stopper in the drains? then before using them tub or sink, fill it with water and a little bleach, then pull the chain SLOWLY, so that way if they are on the underside of plug they should be washed away too. also there is another bug that lives down your way… the palmetto bug. everyone has something that they are afraid of. your’s is roaches and bugs that look like them. mine is cicadas,madagascar hissing roaches and june bugs
