As a resident from Louisiana and now living in Texas, I would tell you that spreading Boric acid is only attempting to address the symptom, but not the problem.

When you see one roach, you can rest assured that 25 more are in the walls. See 5, and yes, there are 125 roaches waiting in the wings.

The nice thing about boric acid is that it will kill them later when they are in the walls etc... Roaches will eat their fallen, and ingest the boric acid again killing those ones too.

Winged ones you will need to control with screens and closed doors but believe me when I say that's easier to do then get rid of the ones crawling around.

That's one thing I enjoy about living in Seattle, I've yet to see a roach (or mosquito).
