With over 55 years of experience in professional cockroach control, Rentokil Hong Kong can help you avoid health risks and property damage in your home or business. Cockroaches thrive in urban environments and have become some of the most successful pests in the world. They reproduce rapidly, 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.
Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that usually move around at night and in the early morning hours in search of food. If you find cockroaches in your home or workplace during the daytime, there may be a large number of cockroaches hiding in hidden locations on your premises and continuing to breed.
Cockroaches are known for their ability to reproduce rapidly, but the exact breeding rate depends on the species of cockroach and the environmental conditions in which they live. However, cockroaches generally reproduce relatively quickly.
A female cockroach can lay a large number of eggs throughout her life. Depending on the species, one female may give birth to up to 400 offspring.
Finding cockroaches in your home or business can be very distressing. Cockroaches are known carriers of diseases such as Salmonella, Dysentery & Gastroenteritis, exposure to this pest also poses significant health risks. Increases in eczema and asthma have even been linked to cockroach droppings.
Cockroaches are very tough insects and their ability to breed rapidly makes professional treatment essential to control any infestation.
With a complex life cycle and behavior, expert products and solutions are required to mitigate and manage infestations.
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 feces, fluids and the eventual carcass of the infected roach will contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill other cockroaches in the same nesting site.
Our ExoRoach effective baiting stations have numerous advantages against cockroach infestation:
insecticide gel is an effective method of cockroach control. The transfer of gel 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.
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.
Green Drain™ reduces exposure to hazardous sewer gases and disease-causing pathogens that harbor within drain lines and plumbing systems. Our eco-friendly, preventative solution leads to improved hygiene and environmental health by blocking pest access and preventing virus emissions from waste pipes.

There are several reasons why you may suddenly see an increase in the number of cockroaches in your house. Here are some possible causes:
It's important to identify the cause of the cockroach infestation so you can take appropriate measures to control it. This may include removing food sources, fixing moisture problems, sealing entry points, and using insecticides or traps. If you are having difficulty controlling the infestation, consider contacting a pest control professional for assistance.
Firstly, take a deep breath and resist the urge to panic. Instead, try to identify the type of cockroach you're dealing with, as different types may require different treatment methods. Once you've figured out what you're dealing with, it's time to clean up. Cockroaches are attracted to food and moisture, so make sure to clean up spills, crumbs, and standing water to reduce their attraction to your home.
Next, seal any entry points that cockroaches may be used to sneak into your home through small cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and windows. This will help prevent further infestation. You can also use traps to monitor and control the infestation, placing them in areas where you've seen the little buggers and disposing of them regularly.
If things have gotten out of hand and you're still seeing these creepy crawlies despite your best efforts, it may be time to consider using insecticides. However, use these with caution and follow the instructions on the label. If you're unsure about what to do, consider contacting a pest control professional for assistance. They can identify the type of cockroach, recommend treatment options, and help control the infestation.
Your cockroach control costs will ultimately reflect the time and effort it will take to manage them in your home or business. The first step in determining the cost of cockroach control is fully understanding the problem. What attracts cockroaches in your home? Why do cockroaches suddenly appear? How do cockroaches gain access to the building?
To answer all the above questions, Rentokil will need to visit your property to inspect for cockroaches. Following this, the below factors will determine the most suitable cockroach treatment and its associated costs.
The larger the property, the more time required to successfully locate and treat the cockroach problem. This will have an effect on the cost of the treatment.
The treatment required to address the cockroach infestation will relate to the overall costs of the service. There may be a need to combine cockroach control treatments methods and use them in conjunction with each other, whilst other times one method may suffice.
Sometimes cockroach management requires multiple treatments for successful control. This can be reflected with the pricing of the cockroach control service.
The size and extent of the cockroach infestation in your home or business affect the costs of the cockroach treatment service. Problem cockroaches are often perceived as those that have established residence within a property. They are commonly soldier cockroaches on a mission to return to their nest with food supply.
Our mission is to protect people and enhance lives. We do that by creating groundbreaking pest control innovations, by making our service solutions more sustainable and by making a positive impact in communities where we live and work.
