Cockroaches serve as vectors for diseases such as dysentery, gastroenteritis, typhoid, and poliomyelitis. Their omnivorous diet encompasses fermenting substances, soiled dressings, hair, leather, wallpaper, their own and other feces, as well as human food. In the absence of proper cockroach pest control, contamination of human consumables may occur through the mechanical transfer of disease-causing agents from the insects' bodies or through transmissions in their feces. Additionally, cockroaches can trigger allergic reactions, particularly in sensitive individuals such as asthmatics.

These pests breed at an alarming rate, with the egg case (ootheca) of a German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) capable of holding between 30-48 young. These offspring, known as nymphs, attain sexual maturity after approximately ten weeks.

Traditional cockroach pest control methods have relied heavily on insecticidal sprays and contact dusts, which necessitate direct contact with the insecticide. However, such treatments often miss small colonies deeply embedded in building fabrics or equipment. Moreover, genetic resistance to pesticides has emerged in many areas due to their overuse and insufficient rotation.

At Obsidian, our technicians are trained in an innovative approach to cockroach pest control. We utilize a variety of gel baits, which serve as genuine food sources for the pests, rendering our treatments highly effective. While gel baits have been available in various forms for several years, few companies have invested the requisite time and field research to fully unlock their potential.
