Try to remove or secure any food source for the rats. Traps are effective but must be placed carefully and tended to often. If you use bait (poison) get it in block form and check label for low secondary poisoning (so if something else eats the dying rat, it won't be poisoned). If unsure or the label doesn't say, call the company's number on the label and ask about this. They are usually quite frank and open about such questions. Let me know if you would like more details on setting traps.
For roaches, residual crack & crevice insecticide. Treat under cupboards (usually a space between btm cupboard and floor), c&c along sides of cpbd, baseboards, under large appliances... You also have to cover all levels. If there is a large roach infestation, an exterminator might be a good idea, esp if you are not familiar with using and applying pesticides.
