Frequently Asked Questions
How does cockroach gel baiting work?
Cockroach gel bait contains food attractants combined with a slow-acting active ingredient. Cockroaches consume the bait, return to their harbourage, and share it with the population through natural feeding behavior, controlling the colony at its source.
Do I need to empty my kitchen utensils before cockroach treatment?
For standard odorless gel baiting, it is generally not necessary to empty your entire kitchen. Gel bait is placed in tiny, discreet spots behind hinges and corners away from utensils and food-contact areas.
How much does cockroach control cost in Bangalore?
Cockroach control at SLV Pest Control starts from ₹599. Pricing is determined based on property type, BHK size, and infestation severity during assessment.
How do cockroaches enter my home or apartment?
Cockroaches commonly enter via drainage pipes, gap openings under doors, delivery grocery boxes, egg cartons, and adjoining apartment utility ducts.
What should I do after cockroach treatment?
Keep treated areas dry and avoid washing away gel bait dots. Maintain good kitchen hygiene by wiping down food crumbs, storing dry goods in sealed containers, and emptying garbage bins nightly.
Do you treat apartments, PGs, and commercial kitchens?
Yes. SLV Pest Control provides tailored cockroach management for private residences, gated community apartments, PGs, hostels, cloud kitchens, and commercial food establishments across Bangalore.
