I like bugs. Put it outside? Have you ever seen a hissing cockroach? They hiss when you squish them. Sooo adorable :3

For some reason I read your question as a metaphor: Roach (tRump), house (United States), burn the house down (violent uprising), The answer is no as the roach and it's kind are well adapted at surviving what one would anticipate being an effective weapon against it.

Smoke it.

A friend of mine told me, "A fire is worth three moves."

There has to be a simpler way to make that roach homeless...I think ??????????

Go to the pet store and buy some Boric Acid. It is a powder. put it is corners en under drawers and cabinets and the roaches will disappear. Broic acid kills all insects and bugs will exoskeletons. It is relatively safe, as it is also the active ingredient in many flea powders, but don't put it undiluted directly onto pets, because it will be too concentrated.

Roaches are some of the cleanest of insects to be found. Mosquitos are the ones you might fret about. & crickets are the filthy ones.

See if you can confine the fire to the room that the roach is in.

No. It would probably survive but you'd still be homeless.

It's only a cockroach! Were it a centipede, I'd advocate burning the house down and then dropping several nuclear bombs on the neighbourhood just to make sure.

Yes, thoroughly!

Sprinkle Borax powder behind your kitchen baseboards, and it'll soon be dead.
