Advice
If you are the victim of a severe infestation, sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the foundation of your home. Diatomaceous earth is a natural substance created from pulverized shells. It will cut the bodies of any insect (including those beneficial to the environment), so it should only be used rarely or in the most severe cases. Don't inhale diatomaceous earth if you have lung conditions. Diatomaceous earth is lethal to earthworms.
Borax dries insects from the inside, dehydrating them to death.
Warnings
Keep children and pets away from borax. In case of ingestion contact a poisoning center.

German cockroach is a fairly common type of cockroach found in homes and restaurants. You can kill her by using gel baits, poisoning stations with bait or sticky traps, but boric acid is also effective for this purpose; if the infestation is severe, you can use a combination of several methods.
Carpenter ants are very common, but also extremely destructive. If you don't control them, they can quickly infest an entire structure. For this reason it is important to identify and exterminate them as soon as you notice them, to avoid serious structural damage that is very expensive to repair.
Black ants don't take too long to find food once they have settled in your home. You may leave a bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter overnight only to find out the next morning that it has become covered in ants. Once the problem is identified, you can kill these insects with a bug spray, bait, or use common materials to repel them and take steps to prevent them from returning.
Flying ants are not a species unto themselves - these parasites are part of other ant species, and winged varieties emerge for a short time during the mating season. While a few flying ants here or there can be safely ignored, an infestation can be a bigger problem, one that you understandably might want to wipe out.
