stuck on getting rid of water bugs

moving into an older place has meant learning how to get rid of water bugs fast. i've already tried the obvious supermarket stuff with no luck. does it need anything special, or is it just patience? any help appreciated.

Are they actual water bugs or cockroaches? Most "water bugs" in houses turn out to be oriental or american roaches, and supermarket sprays barely touch them. Gel baits and boric acid along skirting boards, under sinks and behind appliances work much better, because they carry it back. Fix any leaks and damp, seal gaps around pipes, and put stoppers in drains at night. If you're seeing them daily, a pest controller is worth it.
