I have a shed in my backyard that's been infested with roaches. Currently, it's filled with lumber and other clutter, but I want to organize it for my yard tools. The roaches seem to be coming in and out through the gaps between the studs and the wooden exterior walls, as the inside is unfinished. I'm thinking of caulking all the seams to eliminate hiding spots. Would that actually work? If yes, what type of caulk should I use? I'm also planning to use a bug bomb and set up sticky traps in the rafters to catch any stragglers. Any advice would greatly help!

Try using Ortho Home Defense; that's what I use whenever my garage gets infested. It works wonders in keeping roaches away!
Diatomaceous earth is great for roach prevention! Spread it around the perimeter of your shed along with a good bug spray around doors and windows. Gel traps and borax can also be super effective for capturing them.
I faced a similar problem in my garage, and I found that spraying bug spray along the edges both inside and outside did the trick. It's been about a month now, and I haven't seen any roaches since!
