Has anyone heard of blowing out your pipes to eleminate roaches from inside your home?

That seems unlikely. A good way to get rid of roaches is to get boric acid (from behind the counter in the pharmacy) or a boric acid based product like Roach Pruf. Put it in out of the way places like under the sink and behind the refrigerator. Take off the light switch covers and outlet covers and put it inside the walls. Boric acid kills roaches very reliably.
Hi - Florida is a "bad" area for bugs so everyone has to use something!
I have never had a serious problem but I occasionally make a "line" around my house using 20 Mule Team Borax. Since I have a large house I usually do this in 2 sessions several weeks apart.
When my son visited with his little dog I had to put Borax around inside the house to kill any fleas and it seems to work on both.
A friend rented a house that had a lot of roaches and we spread Borax "everywhere" closed the house for 2 days and we almost needed a shovel to remove the dead bugs!
She repeated the process just to be sure and there where some dead bugs (but not near as many!) so she put Borax on the outside also. She repeats the process once in a while and seems to be living "bug free".
I know some people say Borax is not safe so just make sure you do not breath this stuff while you eliminating the bugs!
