Cockroach Pest Control in Dubai

What you get

Dubai apartments have two cockroach problems, not one: the colony you can see in your kitchen, and the colony you can't see — living in the plumbing risers that connect every floor in your building. Fogging kills the first group and scatters the second. Within 2–3 weeks, the population rebuilds.

Our treatment targets both. Gel bait is consumed by cockroaches and carried back to the harborage — it works through the population over 14–21 days, reaching the breeding pool that spray never touches. IGR (insect growth regulator) prevents any eggs laid during the treatment period from developing.

• Inspection — Identify species, harborage points, and severity level
• Gel bait placement — Applied at 20–30 target points (cabinet hinges, under sink, behind fridge, skirting gaps)
• IGR treatment — Applied to riser access and utility voids to disrupt breeding
• Plumbing seal — Gap-fill around sink penetrations and drain covers
• 14-day follow-up — Re-inspect, re-bait weak points, confirm colony decline
• 90-day warranty — Free re-treatment if cockroaches return

German vs American cockroaches — different treatment

German cockroaches (small, tan, indoor breeders)

The most common cockroach in Dubai apartments. 15mm, tan with two parallel stripes, breeds indoors in kitchen and bathroom harborages. A single female produces ~400 offspring in her lifetime. These are the ones coming from your neighbours via shared plumbing risers.

Treatment: Gel bait + IGR at all kitchen/bathroom harborages. Plumbing seal to block riser access. 14-day follow-up mandatory.

American cockroaches (large, reddish-brown, drain origin)

Common in Deira, Bur Dubai, and older areas near drainage infrastructure. 40mm, reddish-brown, typically enter from drains and bin areas rather than breeding indoors. More frequent near the Creek and older building stock.

Treatment: Drain cover treatment, targeted residual insecticide around entry points, baiting in harborage areas. Different approach than German cockroach treatment.

How the treatment works — step by step

1. Inspection (15 min)

We identify species, map harborage points, and gauge severity. Light infestation vs established colony determines whether one or two visits are needed.

2. Treatment day (45–90 min)

Gel bait applied at 20–30 target points throughout kitchen, bathrooms, and visible harborage areas. IGR sprayed into utility voids and riser gaps. Plumbing penetrations sealed with pest-proof foam. You can stay in the property.

3. Follow-up (day 14)

We return to inspect and re-bait. By day 14, you should see dead cockroaches — that's the bait working through the colony. If the population isn't declining as expected, we re-treat at no charge.

"The common mistake is treating one flat while the colony lives in the riser. Seal the riser access and gel-bait the kitchen, and you're done. Skip the sealing, and you'll be back in a month."
