Life of a Cockroach

Cockroaches cannot live in human habitations without the provision of food and water. Obviously, good sanitation is an important factor in reducing available harbourage grounds and depriving them food & water. The American, German & Oriental cockroaches are the common species found. These hiding places can be identified in strategic locations such as:

Cracks and crevices in cupboards, shelves and drawers, · Connecting joints and pipes from sinks, · In corners and cracks of walls, ceilings, door and window frames, · Under the lid and at the bottom of garbage containers. Not only are they a nuisance to our daily lives, these cockroaches may also pose health threats by spreading germs to us. Cockroaches also give off a very strong and oily odour which become extremely pungent when large numbers of cockroaches are present.

One of the most common signs is the presence of small dark brown oval-shaped casings – Ootheca (eggs). During the routine visit, our Team will carry out insecticide residual spray at harbourage areas. Gel baits to be applied in cracks/crevices. Cockroach baits to be placed at surrounding premises. This method of treatment will not only eradicate all cockroach harbourages but will also create a coat of residue to prevent future cockroach re-infestation. We will open the manhole (if any) and apply a layer of insecticide to deter American Cockroaches from entering the premises thru the gully trap.
