Roaches keep returning in my apartment kitchen after cleaning

Question

Most sightings are around the sink cabinet, fridge motor area, and a gap where the pipe enters the wall. I used a spray once, but the activity came back within a week.

Pest Or Not answer

Cleaning helps, but recurring small roaches near sinks and refrigerator motors usually need bait, moisture control, and sealing. Avoid spraying over bait areas. Place monitors near pipe gaps, hinges, and appliance edges, then share repeated activity with building management if roaches may be moving through shared walls.
