Hi Fiona,  
I don’t think the roaches will be a problem once the bees move up to your super, in the meantime you can clean the channel using the following method, that should help.

The channel sometimes gets a bit of debris or old honey remaining, to clean the Flow frame channel, wrap a clean cloth around the Flow lever/key and push this up inside the channel after removing the end cap. A couple of goes sliding it up and down and your channel should be clean for the next harvest.
