can a house ever be rid of cockroaches?

They can be hard to get rid of, but a few years ago, I Had a bis issue with them in my apartment which was always kept clean. Eventually my sister helped me bomb my apartment out. We also clean out everything and used baking soda and some other products to do a deep clean and every since then, my apartment has been roach free.. not one in sight. Nothing else worked for me, but that did.
