Cockroaches

Because of their indiscriminate feeding habits, cockroaches come into contact with many disease carrying organisms. They are also known to produce allergic reactions and, in some cases, asthma attacks. Although there are many species, the two most common types are the small German cockroach and the larger American cockroach.

Cockroaches can now be controlled with a low toxic gel product that has virtually no smell, requires no preparation (ie no emptying of cupboards) and yet has proven long term effectiveness. This method of cockroach control is not only safer than the traditional chemical applications but can also be used safely around people with asthma or breathing complaints.

You can help to reduce cockroach infestations by:

• Sealing gaps, cracks and crevices

• Securing loose fitting windows and doors

• Removing unconsumed pet food 

• Generally cleaning garden waste and refuse

• Ensuring that rubbish bins are cleaned well and regularly
