Clues that should prompt you to act

01Brown insects that scatter as soon as the light goes on
02Tiny black specks, like ground pepper, in hinges and corners
03Brown egg cases under a centimetre long beneath furniture
04A stale, lingering smell in a closed cupboard

The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is the species most often found in kitchens and bathrooms, in homes and restaurants alike. It seeks warmth and moisture: appliance motors, cupboard hinges, the space behind skirting, service ducts. In a block of flats it moves from one home to the next along the water risers.

Gel bait is applied in small dots in those harbourages; cockroaches that eat it then pass it on to others through contact and droppings. An insect growth regulator can complete the treatment where they breed. Because the egg case (ootheca) shields the eggs, a follow-up visit is planned once they have hatched.

Frequently asked questions

Where do cockroaches come from in a well-kept flat?

Most often from a neighbouring home, through shared ducts and water risers, or from a cardboard box, a second-hand appliance or a shopping bag. Cleanliness limits their food but does not stop them arriving.

Should the managing agent treat the whole stairwell?

When several flats are affected, treating one in isolation is not enough: cockroaches come back along the risers. We offer managing agents (syndics) and landlords a coordinated treatment by riser or by stairwell.

Should I use an insecticide spray before your visit?

No, quite the opposite: sprays drive cockroaches into the walls and make the gel less appealing. Stop using them a few days before the visit and do not go back to them afterwards.
