About Cockroaches

There are four species of cockroaches in India that can become pests: German cockroach, Brown Banded Cockroach, Oriental cockroach, and American Cockroach. The German cockroach, which prefers indoor locations. Oriental and American cockroaches occasionally pose problems in moist, humid areas.

Problems Associated With Cockroaches

Cockroaches may become pests in homes, schools, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, offices, and virtually in any structure that has food preparation or storage areas. They contaminate food and eating utensils, destroy fabric and paper products, and impart stains and unpleasant odors to surfaces they contact. People are repulsed when they find cockroaches in their homes and kitchens. Cockroaches (especially the American cockroach, which comes into contact with human excrement in sewers or with pet droppings) may transmit bacteria that cause food poisoning. German cockroaches are believed to be capable of transmitting disease-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., hepatitis virus, and coli form bacteria. They also have been implicated in the spread of typhoid and dysentery. Indoor infestations of cockroaches are an important source of allergens and risk for asthma among some populations. The levels of cockroaches and allergens are directly related to cockroach density, housing disrepair, and sanitary conditions.

Identification:

Cockroaches are medium-sized to large insects in the order Dictyoptera (formerly Orthoptera). They are broad, flattened insects with long antennae and a prominent, shield-shaped section behind the head called a pronotum. Some people confuse them with beetles, but adult cockroaches have membranous wings and lack the thick, hardened forewings (elytra) of beetles. They are nocturnal and have a tendency to scatter when disturbed. Immature cockroaches (nymphs) look like adults, but are smaller and do not have wings.

Method of treatment:-

Latest Technology (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. The biggest advantage is that there is no need to vacant the whole kitchen. So there's minimum 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 weeks time. The remaining population gets controlled in three to four weeks for treating a typical house. It just takes about half an hour's time.

Method of spray

The odor less water based spray will be carried out around skirting level of the premise, spray is also carried out in the area where cockroach’s infestation and hideouts is observed during inspection.
