The small brown cockroaches in kitchen cabinets and the large ones that come up from drains are different species and are treated differently.
Signs to look for
Cockroaches seen at night, droppings like ground pepper in cabinet corners and hinges, egg cases, and a musty smell in heavily infested kitchens.
How the treatment works
Gel bait is placed in cracks, hinges, and behind appliances, where cockroaches hide. Drains, floor traps, and the bin area are treated for the larger species. A follow-up visit checks activity and re-baits where needed.
Before the visit
Clear food and utensils from the cabinets to be treated, and avoid spraying household insecticide near the gel bait, since it keeps cockroaches away from it.
