I purchased an Xbox one on Craigslist only to find it infested with roaches. I know it's fucking disgusting.
The seller isn't responding to my calls so now I have to figure out a way to get these bugs out of the vents and stuff. I currently have it sealed inside a plastic bag but I have no idea what to do.
You're going to have to leave it sealed for about 6 months to be sure. Any means of killing them sooner would damage the console or wouldn't reliably kill them all.

Throw a raid roach bait in the bag and seal it up again. They will come out and take the bait and die since its poisoned
Diatomaceous Earth

They will feed on the radiation and grow bigger
Ugh this is a huge pain in the ass.
I don't want to open the console and I don't want to wait 6 months.
What if I put the Xbox in the fridge or something? Since they dislike the cold

That could work, they can't survive freezing. Leave it in for 24 hours.

The problem with that is you'd have to have it in there a long time and the fridge is a very moist environment, water may condense on the insides and bust shit, same with freezer.
I don't think the poison bait idea sounds bad.

Won't work. Roaches can slow their metabolism and survive freezing temps.
If I were to spray the inside of the bag with roach poison and seal it up, Would it affect the Xbox ?
Take it outside. Open the side panel. Roaches leave and go on their way to parts unknown.
Problem solved. It's no different than removing a spider from your house with a cup, only you've already got the half the work done for you.

Spray is aerosoled liquid and liquids fuck up xboxs so you're either fucking it up or not getting in deep enough to for sure kill them all.
This is a nightmare
Take it outside, open it up and use an air duster on it. It will be an even bigger pain in the ass if you don't open it up.
Open it up and take pictures. Then gain internet fame for joking about game breaking bugs XD and use the cred to get a new xbox.
