Where should you apply the anti-cockroach kits for maximum effectiveness?
Applying it in the right place is a fundamental part of the treatment and is just as important as the product itself, as it prevents waste and controls the infestation more quickly and with less effort, making the most of our cockroach killing kits. Therefore, you should apply it directly where cockroaches live and circulate and work on two fronts: 1) Indoors, focus on baseboards, corners, appliances, cupboards, and drains. 2) Outdoors, create barriers on walls, windows, and damp areas near entrances.
Kitchen and other interior areas
You should apply the product to the most critical areas: pantry, skirting boards, corners and cracks, behind and under appliances, inside cupboards and drawers, and near pipes. In bedrooms and living rooms, treat the areas near furniture, beds and sofas. In bathrooms, do not ignore drains or damp areas. To maximise the effectiveness of our cockroach killing kits, you should keep the applications close to walls and in places where you see activity. In homes with children or animals, you should take them to another place before treatment. Air the rooms well and only then allow them to return. Avoid washing treated surfaces immediately.
Sewer boxes and drains
Sewer boxes and drains are the main focus of large cockroaches. Prepare the insecticide in the recommended dilution and apply it directly to the covers, grates and walls inside the house, covering edges, joints and cracks. Maintain a protective strip around the covers and along visible pipes. Repeat preventively every 2–3 weeks, or after heavy rain and washing, to prevent cockroaches from reappearing.
Outdoor areas of the house
Outdoors, create an active barrier: 1) Spray the base of walls and fences; 2) Go around doors and windows, covering sills and cornices. 3) Treat damp areas, outbuildings, outdoor drains, sewer boxes and areas with waste. 4) Pay attention to cracks and joints in the pavement to close shelters and routes. For gardens and terraces of 200–700 m², use the insecticide kit to kill cockroaches in large areas. Includes: Draker 1L Insecticide and 8L Sprayer. Dilute and apply regularly to wall bases, passageways and natural shelters. The residual action protects for weeks and reduces the entry of cockroaches from outside.
Tips for preventing new cockroach infestations
Eliminating an infestation is only the first step. To prevent cockroaches from returning, it is essential to adopt consistent preventive measures, such as: Daily cleaning; Keeping rubbish bins closed; Eliminating sources of moisture; Organising food; Regular maintenance of spaces. All of this creates an unattractive environment for these pests. This way, you can prolong the results obtained with our cockroach killing kits and keep your home protected in the long term.
Hygiene and maintenance measures
You should: 1) Always keep rubbish bins closed and empty them every day. 2) Clean worktops, cookers and floors after meals to avoid food scraps. 3) Store all food in airtight containers and do not leave dirty dishes lying around. 4) Regularly check for water leaks in taps, siphons, or appliances, as moisture attracts cockroaches. 5) Pull appliances and furniture away to clean behind and underneath them at least once a week. These simple routines, done consistently, will help keep your home protected and free from a cockroach infestation.
Conditions and smells that cockroaches hate
Cockroaches avoid dry, ventilated and clean places because they prefer humid environments with food scraps. In addition, there are smells that cockroaches hate, such as: Boric acid; Essential oils of peppermint, lavender or eucalyptus. You can use any of these to make it harder for these insects to stay in your home and reinforce prevention. Still, it is important to remember: these measures are only complementary. Only cockroach killing kits ensure complete elimination of the pest.
Frequently asked questions about our cockroach killing kits
What is the most effective product for killing cockroaches?
Many people look for a ‘miracle product,’ but the truth is that there is no single best product for killing cockroaches that works in all cases. Effectiveness depends on the species (small cockroaches in the kitchen vs. large cockroaches coming from the sewer) and also on the severity of the infestation. What works consistently are complete cockroach killing kits, as they combine several fronts of action.
Do these cockroach killing kits work on any type of infestation?
Yes, but with adaptations, namely: Infestations of small German cockroaches, commonly seen in kitchens, require specific gels and traps. Infestations of large American cockroaches, coming from sewers, require spray insecticides. Small infestations are controlled quickly, while severe cases require more robust cockroach killing kits, such as those that include shock insecticides. Each kit is designed to respond to the type of cockroach and the size of the infestation, ensuring an effective solution regardless of the scenario.
How long does it take for cockroaches to disappear?
Results vary depending on the kit and the severity of the infestation. The gel takes effect within a few days, spreading through the nest by contagion. Sprayed insecticides can take 2-3 weeks to stabilise. As a general rule, you will notice less activity in the first week. To eradicate the infestation completely, you should apply the product regularly and avoid washing the treated areas for 24 hours afterwards.
Is it safe to use the kits in homes with children or pets?
Yes, our cockroach killing kits have been developed with the safety of everyone in the home in mind. The gels contain Bitrex, a bitter substance that prevents accidental ingestion. For added protection, keep children and pets out of the room before treatment. After application, ventilate the area thoroughly before allowing them to return. By following these simple instructions, you can maintain the effectiveness of the cockroach treatment without compromising the safety of your family.
Why is a complete kit generally more effective than a single product?
A single product may eliminate some visible cockroaches, but it is unlikely to solve the problem once and for all. Cockroach killing kits are more effective because they work on several fronts at once:
1️⃣ Gel – eliminates the nest by contagion, when cockroaches carry the poison to the rest.
2️⃣ Spray – reaches cockroaches in circulation and creates a protective barrier that prevents new entries.
3️⃣ Traps – allow you to monitor, reinforce the treatment and prevent future reinfestations.✔ ️ This combination covers all stages of the infestation and ensures its definitive elimination. That is why a cockroach elimination kit is always a superior and complete solution for those who want to end cockroach infestations once and for all.
