Cockroach Control Treatment

Cockroaches are common pest found in residential premises, commercial outlets, food preparation outlets, factories and warehouses. The common cockroaches reported in Singapore are Periplaneta americana (American cockroach) and Blattella germanica (German cockroach). American cockroach is chocolate brown in colour and 35-40 mm long while German cockroach (10-15mm) is smaller than American cockroach. German cockroach is brownish yellow in colour with two longitudinal parallel black bands running down their pronotum. The cockroach body is typically oval and flattened dorsal-ventrally. This body shape allows the cockroach to squeeze through narrow cracks and spaces in litter and among rocks. The newly emerged nymphs look like miniature adults, but are wingless.

Cockroaches are prevalent pests found in areas where humans inhabit: in residential buildings, commercial properties, food establishments and warehouses. These pests are more widespread in unclean areas with exposed food waste and dirty tableware, water leakages along cracked pipes and sewers as well as unhygienic and unused areas.

Cockroaches are known to be disease carriers, where these pests acquire a wide range of hazardous disease-causing pathogens to contaminate humans and our living spaces. Overtime, the contamination transmitted to exposed food items can cause food poisoning and bring about unpredictable allergies. Do not delay and seek medical attention if you experience diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.

Countless insect repellents that claim to be effective against cockroaches are not genuine. These insect repellents have harmful chemicals that leave an unpleasant waxy area and bad odour after use. When accidentally inhaled or exposed to the skin, these insecticides can cause detrimental health problems such as nausea, headache and muscle weakness. Use insect repellents as sparingly as possible.
