I often find the DW drain hose is not routed properly and not secured to the highest point under the cabinet. Rotting food then creates a bad smell as you describe.

Pair this cleaning technique with conventional roach baits and insectisides and you should see the roaches disappear. I've learned that it's very difficult to eliminate a roach problem. ...(Answered by Yea_im_that_guy)
