Cockroach poison

Signs of cockroaches often appear before you see the insects themselves:

• Small droppings: Often resembling peppercorns, found in cabinets, drawers,
  or along baseboards.
• Eggs,shed skin, or unpleasant odors: Common in damp areas such as pantries
  and bathrooms.
• Nocturnal activity: Seeing cockroaches moving at night in the kitchen or near
  drains is another clear indicator of an infestation.

Even if you don’t see cockroaches directly, the presence of these signs indicates an active infestation. Recognizing them allows you to take the next step: identifying the type of cockroach so you can choose the most effective treatment.

Difference Between Small (German) Cockroaches and Large (Sewer) Cockroaches

Small cockroaches, known as the German species:

• Primarily appear in kitchens and cupboards
• Tend to hide behind or under household appliances
• Move quickly
• Are small in size
• Prefer warm areas with easy access to food

Large cockroaches, typical of sewers:

• Commonly found in bathrooms, drains, sewers, and other damp areas
• Larger in size, reddish in color, and capable of flying

Since the source of the infestation varies, the treatment must also differ. A cockroach poison designed for German cockroaches is not necessarily suitable for large sewer cockroaches, and vice versa.

Choosing the right cockroach poison—whether for sewer cockroaches or small German cockroaches—makes all the difference in the speed and effectiveness of control.

There are several formats of cockroach poisons and insecticides, suitable for different levels of infestation
and the areas where the problem occurs.

 In many cases, combining products can significantly increase the effectiveness of treatment, especially when the infestation is already established.

At Loja do Inseto, our complete kits bring together these combinations, providing an effective solution for eliminating cockroaches quickly and consistently.

Liquid insecticide: ideal for application in larger areas

Liquid insecticides are among the most effective solutions for large sewer cockroaches, especially when they appear in garages, drains, patios, storage areas, or industrial kitchens. They should be applied directly to cracks, fissures, tile joints, drains, and other cockroach pathways, creating an active barrier that acts on the pests as they move through the area.

Draker insecticides are suitable for standard infestations, offering prolonged action and excellent stability.

Diptron insecticides are recommended for more severe infestations that require intensive treatment. This format is particularly effective as a poison for large cockroaches, especially in areas connected to sewage systems.

Unlike powdered cockroach insecticides, these liquid formulas maintain their effectiveness even in humid environments, ensuring consistent control where other products might fail.

Gel cockroach poison: eliminates the pest through contagion

Gel Cockroach Poison (commonly searched as Cheap Ecogel) is the most suitable solution for small German cockroaches, which are often found in kitchens, cabinets, appliances, and storage areas.

This gel insecticide is designed for effective and discreet elimination. It has no odor, making it perfect for treating sensitive areas, and is particularly effective against small cupboard cockroaches, targeting hidden infestations in kitchens, pantries, and other spaces where the insects are difficult to detect.

Gel cockroach poison works through contagion: the cockroach consumes the bait, returns to the nest, and transmits the poison to the rest of the colony, affecting even insects that never leave their hiding places.

For domestic use we recommend a simple application syringe, ideal for placing small drops in corners and crevices. This syringe is included in our kit with Insecticidal Gel for Small Cockroaches.

For businesses like restaurants, hotels, local accommodations, or warehouses requiring more intensive treatment, we offer several professional options:

• Magnum Gel for Small Cockroaches – especially recommended for regular
  maintenance
• Magnum Gel IGR PLUS for Small Cockroaches – ideal for high infestations;
  features ovicidal action, preventing nymphs from reproducing
• Victor Gel for Small Cockroaches – contains extra-strong poison, perfect for
  severe infestations with persistent pests

All of these options use a highly effective gel cockroach poison. For many customers, gel remains the best solution for small cockroaches due to its precision, safety, and ability to eliminate the entire colony.

Insecticide traps: attract cockroaches from their hiding
places. ( titulo 3)

Insecticidal traps work by using baits that attract
cockroaches out of their hiding places, capturing them on an internal adhesive.
Essentially, they are sticky traps designed to catch cockroaches—and sometimes
other insects—that move through the treated areas.

At Loja do Inseto, the cockroach traps we recommend
most often do not rely on adhesive. Instead, they use Ecogel
insecticide, an attractive bait that reaches the cockroach nest through contagion,
affecting even insects that never leave their hiding places.

This type of trap is particularly useful for:

• Monitoring
  the intensity of an infestation
• Reinforcing
  primary treatments
• Identifying
  critical points in your home or business

For home use traps offer a simple and clean way to
monitor the progress of pest control.

For businesses:

Cockroach traps help you:

• Map
  cockroach routes
• Assess
  activity levels
• Adjust
  treatments as needed

In general, traps are discreet, practical, and an
excellent complement to liquid insecticides, enhancing overall pest control
effectiveness

At Loja do Inseto, our cockroach poisons are biocides tested and trusted by pest control specialists, ensuring effectiveness even in the most challenging situations.

Draker and Diptron insecticides: fast and long-lasting action

Draker and Diptron Liquid Insecticides are the most effective professional solutions for combating large cockroaches in both domestic and commercial environments. They provide rapid elimination and long-lasting protection, creating a residual barrier that helps prevent reinfestation.

For standard infestations:

Draker is the most balanced choice for large sewer cockroaches:

• Draker 50 ml insecticide kit for large sewer cockroaches: Combines
  Draker insecticide with a 5 L sprayer, ideal for targeted and practical
  treatments.
• Draker 1 L insecticide kit for American cockroaches: Recommended
  for treating larger areas while maintaining prolonged protection.

Both options offer stable, consistent results over several weeks.

For high or persistent infestations Diptron is the recommended solution:

• Diptron insecticide kit for large sewer cockroaches: Combines Diptron insecticide with a 5 L sprayer, providing deeper impact in damp areas, drains, and sewers.
• In these cases, it is essential to perform a preventive reapplication few days afterthe first treatment to reinforce the effectiveness of the sewer cockroach poison and ensure long-lasting control.

Insecticide syringe and cockroach trap

The syringe with insecticidal gel is ideal for applying cockroach poison precisely,
drop by drop, in cracks, corners, spaces between furniture, and other areas
that are difficult to reach with a sprayer.

Ecogel allows for direct treatment of small cockroach hiding places in kitchens
and cupboards, making it the foundation of the treatment.

After applying the gel, you can supplement with insecticidal traps, which attract
cockroaches and help monitor whether activity is decreasing. Traps also help
identify new passage points.

Recommended steps:

✅ Place the gel in strategic locations

✅ Position traps near the most critical areas

✅ Observe results over the next few days, adjusting the quantity and
placement as needed

Applying Cockroach Poison Correctly proper application is essential to completely eliminate an infestation and minimize the risk of recurrence.

The choice of productand method of application depends on the type of cockroach and theaffected area, so start by carefully observing the space and identifying where activity is highest. Prioritize critical locations, such as:

• Behind and under household appliances
• Cracks and fissures
• Sewer drains
• Tile joints
• Inside cupboards
• Damp areas where cockroaches circulate

Avoid applying poison near exposed food, dishes, or kitchen utensils. Be sure to check less accessible corners and hidden areas, ensuring the treatment reaches the
precise spots where cockroaches hide.

Steps to ensure effective cockroach control:

1️⃣ Preliminary cleaning – remove food scraps, grease, and debris

2️⃣ Apply the appropriate product for the type of cockroach and affected
area

3️⃣ Repeat the application a few days later, if necessary

4️⃣ Reinforce with traps to monitor activity and identify new hotspots

By maintaininga disciplined approach and observing progress, you can solve the problem safely and independently, achieving long-lasting control over cockroach
infestations.
