Cockroaches are among the most resilient and troublesome pests in domestic and public environments. They carry bacteria, contaminate food, and can cause allergies. To successfully control them, a targeted approach is required—from localized treatment to long-lasting protection with professional cockroach control products.
1. Locating Hiding Spots and Initial Treatment
Cockroaches hide in hard-to-reach places—behind refrigerators, inside kitchen cabinets, electrical panels, and conduits. They are active at night, which makes early detection difficult.
First step: Locate entry points and hiding spots—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Recommended product:
Simetrol Super EW (500 mL)
- Contains four active ingredients—cypermethrin, tetramethrin, piperonyl butoxide, and pyriproxyfen
- Acts quickly and provides long-lasting residual effect
- Especially effective against resistant strains of cockroaches
- Works against all stages of the insects: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults
Dosage:
- 25 mL in 5 L of water for 100 m² in case of low infestation
- 50 mL for heavy infestation
2. Gel Baits for Control in Sensitive Areas
Cockroach gels are preferred for treatment in kitchens, electrical appliances, apartments, and restaurants—without the need for spraying.
Magnum Cockroach Gel IGR Plus (40 g)
- Contains imidacloprid and S-methoprene
- Attracts cockroaches from up to 1 meter away
- Cascading effect—one contaminated cockroach can eliminate the entire nest
- Long-lasting activity for up to 3 months
Dosage: 1–6 drops per m², applied directly in areas of activity
3. Elimination of Cockroaches in Hard-to-Reach Places
In areas where spraying is undesirable or impossible—such as archives, basements, warehouses, electronics, and facilities with sensitive equipment— the best solution is insecticidal smoke generators (fumigators)..
Dobol Fumigator (100 g)
- Releases active insecticidal smoke that penetrates even the smallest cracks and hiding spots
- Does not generate high temperatures—safe for use in enclosed spaces with no risk of fire
- Does not contaminate surfaces or leave stains
- Contains an active ingredient from a new chemical group (cyphenothrin) – pests have not developed resistance, ensuring high effectiveness even with repeated treatments
Dosage:
- 1 x 20 g fumigator per 110 m³ (crawling insects)
- 1 x 100 g fumigator per 550 m³
- For flying insects: up to 250/1250 m³ respectively
Important: Use with doors and windows closed. Activated by adding water—no open flame required.
4. Prevention and Barrier Protection
After treatment, create a protective barrier to prevent re-infestation.
Ecorex Contact Gel (350 g)
- Contact insecticide in gel form
- Acts through contact—suitable for manholes, joints, and sewage pipes
- Can also be used as a protective strip to prevent the entry of new insects
Dosage: 25–35 mL per linear meter
5. Preventive Tips for Cockroach Control
- Maintain high hygiene standards—especially in the kitchen
- Keep food and waste tightly sealed
- Seal gaps around pipes and walls
- Regularly inspect hidden areas
- Combine products—gel + surface treatment for best results
