Cockroach Control in Kenya
Effective Cockroach Treatment & Long-Term Prevention 2025

Cockroach control in Kenya is an essential part of maintaining hygiene in homes, restaurants, hotels, and offices. These crawling pests carry disease-causing bacteria and multiply rapidly in warm, humid environments. Totalease Pest Control provides comprehensive cockroach extermination and prevention services using safe, eco-friendly, and highly effective Totalease products.

Understanding Cockroach Behavior in Kenya

• Cockroaches hide in warm, moist areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and drainage systems.
• They feed on crumbs, grease, and garbage, emerging mostly at night.
• Common types in Kenya include the German Cockroach (small and fast) and the American Cockroach (large and reddish-brown).
• Each female cockroach can produce hundreds of offspring in her lifetime, causing rapid infestations.
• Without prompt action, cockroach colonies can spread to neighboring houses or rooms.

Health Risks Caused by Cockroaches

• Disease Transmission: Cockroaches spread harmful pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella via contaminated surfaces.
• Allergic Reactions: Their saliva, droppings, and shed skin particles trigger asthma and allergies.
• Food Contamination: They crawl over dishes, cutlery, and stored food, leaving bacteria behind.
• Odor Problems: Heavy infestations cause foul, oily smells in kitchens and cupboards.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

• Dark droppings like ground pepper near cupboards, appliances, or sinks.
• Egg capsules (ootheca) hidden in cracks, drawers, or behind wall panels.
• Unpleasant musty odor in enclosed areas.
• Smear marks or greasy trails along floors and walls.
• Sightings of live roaches, especially at night, indicate severe infestation.

Totalease Cockroach Extermination Process

• Step 1 – Inspection: Our technicians locate nesting zones and entry points in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
• Step 2 – Targeted Gel Application: We use Advion Cockroach Gel Bait to attract and kill cockroaches at their source.
• Step 3 – Spraying & Residual Treatment: Apply long-lasting insecticides to cracks, drains, and skirting boards.
• Step 4 – Sanitation: Clients are advised on cleaning routines to remove grease and clutter.
• Step 5 – Follow-Up: Repeat visits are made to ensure total extermination and prevent re-infestation.

How to Prevent Future Cockroach Infestations

• Seal cracks, crevices, and drain openings to block cockroach entry points.
• Store food properly and avoid leaving crumbs or dirty dishes overnight.
• Repair water leaks and keep areas dry since roaches need moisture to survive.
• Empty garbage bins daily and clean under sinks regularly.
• Apply Advion Cockroach Gel Bait monthly to high-risk areas for ongoing control.
