Cockroaches thrive in urban environments and have become some of the most successful pests in the world. Cockroaches are attracted to surroundings where there is food, moisture and warmth. They feed on a wide range of human foods and organic material such as cardboard, glue, faeces, dead animals and fellow cockroaches. They can pick up diseases from the filth in their environment and readily transmit them onto food and surfaces.
A professional service is one of the most reliable means of cockroach control. Only professional products and solutions are powerful enough to address a cockroach infestation in all stages of their lifecycle. Cockroaches rapidly reproduce, so a small issue can quickly turn into a large problem and concern for your property. With cockroaches, the saying goes, ‘there is never just one’ and we highly recommend contacting Rentokil at the first sign of activity.
Insect monitoring units can support the early detection of cockroaches, enabling you to take quick action and control an infestation at the first sign of cockroach activity.
Cockroach bait is one of the most common methods of cockroach control and is extremely effective in indoor locations such as residential and commercial kitchens, food handling and preparation areas, hotels and hospitals.
Once a cockroach has fed on bait, it often returns to the nest to defecate. The insecticide-laden faeces, fluids and the eventual carcass of the infected roach will contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill other cockroaches in the same nesting site.
Insecticide spray delivers effective treatment of cockroaches while leaving a protective barrier that helps maintain long-lasting cockroach control. Ideal for hard-to-reach cracks and crevices where cockroaches may be harbouring. Toxins in the insecticide not only affect the cockroach that makes contact, but also affects other roaches through secondary transmission by exploiting the cannibalistic nature of cockroaches.
Dusting is an effective method of cockroach control. The transfer of dust onto cockroach exoskeletons creates a cycle of secondary transmission which occurs through direct contact with, or ingestion of, traces of insecticide dispersed in the environment by contaminated cockroaches.
Cockroach fumigation involves the use of gas insecticides to exterminate cockroaches in a confined space. The fumigation process involves sealing a facility, or part of a facility, where a cockroach infestation is severe. Highly effective for businesses such as Manufacturing, Warehousing, Agriculture and Milling, cockroach fumigation generally is applied as an additional treatment to other cockroach control methods when an infestation is at a high level.

Cockroaches are significant health hazards because they have the potential to carry and transmit various pathogens, bacteria, and allergens, posing risks to human health. Cockroach allergens are notorious for triggering asthma and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Moreover, their droppings and shed skins can contaminate food, utensils, and surfaces, potentially causing illnesses and respiratory problems.
Furthermore, cockroach infestations can exacerbate existing health conditions and compromise hygiene standards in both residential and commercial environments.
