Management and Control

Effectively controlling and managing cockroach infestations requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both the immediate problem and the underlying conditions that contribute to their presence.

01

Inspections

Conduct a thorough inspection of your property to locate cockroach hiding spots, entry points, and areas with food and water sources.



02

Sanitation

Maintain a clean environment by eliminating food and water sources. Cockroaches are attracted to crumbs, spills, and standing water. Regularly clean kitchens, dining areas, and storage spaces.

03

Cockroach Baits

Apply cockroach baits strategically in areas where cockroaches are active. Baits attract and poison the pests, disrupting the infestation at its source.

04

Dust and Powders

Insecticidal dusts and powders can be applied to voids and hidden spaces where cockroaches may be nesting. This can be effective in hard-to-reach areas.
