Getting rid of cockroaches can be infuriating! After all, cockroaches can survive in highly unfavourable environments, and can metabolise toxic substances. Not only do they snack on foods that are left unattended, they also damage property and leave their excrement as souvenirs.
These cockroaches pose health threats as they are capable of spreading pathogens in homes and premises. The debris created by cast-off cockroach skin, droppings and dead bodies can worsen allergies, especially amongst children and sensitive individuals.

Residual Spraying (RS) | Granular Baiting | Gel Baiting |
Residual Spraying (RS) involves applying a residual pesticide to the walls and surfaces of a home. While it doesn’t prevent cockroaches from entering, it effectively eliminates them if they contact the treated surfaces after feeding. | Granular baiting involves using granular materials placed in areas requiring treatment. While it is more effective, it degrades more rapidly in a tropical climate, making it suitable for indoor use in trays or crevices at varying intervals. | Gel baiting is a popular and successful technique for managing cockroach infestations. It entails applying a gel bait product in specific areas frequented by cockroaches. This bait is designed to attract and eliminate cockroaches and is suitable for both residential and commercial pest management. |

Engaged First Choice pest control services when we first realised a bedbug infestation in 1 of the bedroom 2 weeks back. There were eggs, adults, baby bedbugs on 1 of the beds and despite efforts to throw all out those beddings that showed signs of any alive bedbugs, we still see a few. Called and Samuel attended to me, he was very detailed and gave me good advice. Followed up with the service by his technicians and they were good. After just 1 session, we did not find anymore bed bugs however to be safe we engaged another session tom to ensure we have truly eliminated all. Adults, babies and eggs that have just hatched. Truly recommend their service as there is no hard selling and they do their job well. Sabrina Wong2024-01-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
