About Cockroach Control

There is never just one cockroach in the kitchen". Yes it is true that where there is one cockroach there are others. If you find one in your house/apartment then you should take steps to eliminate all the potential ones lurking in their dark hiding places.

The presence of Cockroaches in the kitchen is often detected by their damage or by the fecal matter called frass, they deposit. These signs can help in diagnosing, a cockroach problem. The size and shape of fecal droppings also indicates the kind of cockroach species involved. We use Pesticides which falls under the Category of "Third Generation", to which cockroaches have not gone immune. We have special treatment to control those small cockroaches (oriental cockroach) which have become a common sight in Indian kitchens. Small cockroaches easily hide themselves in wardrobes, dining table, drawers and bathroom etc. We take Annual Maintenance contract (AMC) for cockroach treatment both for homes and businesses.

Both the options i.e. conventional method like sprays mists etc. and Gel applications are available with us to suit any requirement. However in the case of heavy infestation, mists and sprays are preferred for which taking the eatables and foodstuff out of the kitchen is a must.

Gel Application

In the recent past a new technique has been developed which involves controlling the Major cockroach population within the premises by applying a gel like substance. Unlike in the past, it does not require spraying those pungent smell insecticides. The biggest advantage is that there is no need to empty out the whole kitchen and create a mess. So there's minimal disruption of the home or work place.

The mode of action involves applying low dosages of newly developed molecule called "Fipronil" at strategic location and hide-out places inside the house .This contains a Bait to which cockroaches get attracted and feed on it. Once a critical numbers of cockroaches have accepted this bait, they start contaminating other cockroaches and a "Cascading effect" starts taking place and gradually the whole population of cockroach gets infected by the toxic ingredient present in the bait and ultimately gets eliminated.

The gel is odorless. It can be safely applied to sensitive areas such as electrical console boxes, kitchen appliances, electronic Gadgets, behind the refrigerator etc. on which those conventional insecticide cannot be sprayed. It is safe, non-irritating and presents no hazard to the living environment.

Mode of Application for Gel treatment

The scientific study shows, if applied judiciously and in an appropriate manner, about 70% of cockroach population gets controlled in about a week time. The remaining population gets controlled in three to four weeks. For treating a typical house of about 900 sq. ft. of area it just takes about half an hour's time.
