KNOW YOUR PESTS / KNOWLEDGE CENTER
Cockroach control should combine reducing food and water sources, checking cracks and monitoring hiding places. Choose a surface product suitable for the pest you see. A skin repellent or an electric liquid used against mosquitoes in a room cannot replace it.

Cockroach droppings, body parts and secretions may be sources of allergens and can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms in sensitive people. Their movement between waste and food areas also matters for hygiene and contamination. Without equating every sighting with disease, manage hiding places and food and water sources together.
Yes. They can reach a clean home through belongings, packaging or passages within a building. Food, water and sheltered gaps help them establish themselves. If you blame the problem only on a lack of cleaning, you may overlook entry points and sources around the building.
Areas around kitchens and bathrooms, pipe openings, cupboard joints and warm, narrow gaps can provide hiding places. Many species are mainly active at night. As they also hide when they are not visible, checking only open areas may not be enough.
A leaking pipe, damp area or water source left accessible at night may support their survival. Repairing water leaks, covering food and reducing narrow hiding places are all important. One measure does not replace another.
Unseen individuals and other life stages may be present in hiding places. A single sighting does not reveal the full extent of the problem. For recurring or widespread problems, assess sources and hiding places together through monitoring and qualified pest control support.
Keep food covered; remove crumbs and waste regularly.
Repair water leaks and check damp areas.
Inspect cracks, pipe openings and incoming packaging.
For recurring problems, use monitoring and qualified assistance; apply products only to surfaces suitable for the target.
Check that the product label explicitly lists cockroaches as a target. The general term “pests” does not mean the product is suitable for them.
For this target pest, use only the surfaces specified on the label. Do not treat people, animals, food or textiles that come into direct contact with skin as application areas.
Compare the directions specific to the target pest and any stated duration of action. Do not apply one product's instructions to another or assume unverified durations.
Especially when buying online, check the back label for the biocidal product authorisation number, authorisation date, active ingredient and directions for use.
Choose a cockroach control solution according to the target and application area.
