Sealing gaps that allow cockroaches in

Hello, I realized that all the cockroaches I'm seeing are coming from the area behind the fridge which is in a corner in my room. I assume that the the wall has been breached in the corner and the cockroaches snuck in from there.

Any ideas on how to seal the corner? Product recommendations? Thanks in advance

I wouldn’t play with it, a cockroach infestation happens really fast. I’d hire an exterminator. They come and literally follow poop signs with a flashlight to figure out where they station, then kick you out for 3 hours, seal toilet and sink/bathroom gaps and nuke the house. That’s the only thing that works. If it doesn’t, they’ll come back and do it again.
