In regard to mice, the old-fashioned traps are best. Bait them with tiny amounts of peanut butter. In regard to roaches, if your husband has them at work then of course he can bring them home and probably is. It’s also obvious, since you found a roach trap, that the former owners knew there was a roach problem. You can get rid of roaches entirely by using a powder that contains 99%+ boric acid. (You can also buy boric acid powder from your pharmacist, but the last time I tried to do this the cost was absurd.) Sprinkle this behind the stove, behind the refrigerator, basically anywhere that’s warm and where the cat can’t reach. When roaches or other bugs walk through it they will carry it to their nests and thereby destroy the entire nest. This will take a while to take effect, but it will work like a charm. I got rid of roaches in an entire apartment building this way many years ago, and that was in Virginia in the summer. The sticky traps only catch what walks on them and they do nothing about the source of the infestation.
