What scents do roaches hate?

I read online that cockroaches don’t like some smells. What are the smells roaches hate?

People often search for smells that cockroaches hate, but these common scents are unlikely to solve an infestation. They include essential oils, bay leaves, and coffee grounds. At best, they might temporarily deter roaches from visiting a specific area of the home, but they’ll just move somewhere else indoors and will likely revisit the area if they need to. Scents also don’t remove or tackle active nests, eggs, or moisture sources.
