The cockroach has a life cycle (egg, nymph, adult). The female can lay 5 to 30 egg sacs containing 12 to 40 eggs. You should avoid killing cockroaches by squashing them. When you squash female cockroaches they may drop their eggs, and the problem becomes worse. Cockroaches can start producing from six weeks of age, and they can live up to two years. The math is startling if control is not put in place.
How we treat cockroaches at Ajet Services:
The treatment works on residual contact. The insect has to absorb the product by crawling over the product. The product then kills the insect by affecting the nervous system. Powder treatment works the same way, while gel bait is treated as a food source and ingested by the insect.
Note: While you can visually check traps that have been put inside your property, you should not touch them. If there is no bait left, please contact your property owner/manager or local pest controller as you will need further treatment.
If there are still live cockroaches in the traps after four weeks from your treatment date, then please contact our office or your property manager/owner.
We also offer chemical and chemical free cockroach treatments for commercial premises.
