Why don't the spray cans work on roaches?

Aerosol sprays kill the roaches you see but cause others to scatter to new harborage areas. They also miss the eggs entirely. Modern professional cockroach control uses gel baits and IGRs that the roaches eat and carry back to the harborage, where they affect the whole population including the next generation.

How did I get German roaches when my house is clean?

German roaches almost always arrive via brought-in items: used appliances, cardboard boxes from grocery deliveries, secondhand furniture, or suitcases from hotel stays. They don't care about cleanliness once they're in, they thrive on tiny amounts of grease, crumbs, and water. Cleanliness helps treatment work faster but isn't the cause.
