When it comes to the cockroaches in and around structures, the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is the most common species pest management professionals encounter. This pest is most often found around kitchens and bathrooms where conducive conditions are present. With advanced generation cockroach gel baits and the use of assessment-based protocols or integrated pest management (IPM) programs, these troublesome pests have become much easier to control.

A complete perimeter baiting program using Niban granular bait and sweet DominAnt liquid ant bait not only controls emerging pests when done early in the season, but also helps to maintain control throughout the year with two bait types to cover ants’ nutritional needs. As social insects, ants take this “food” back to their nests and share it with the colony, killing the entire colony and the queen.
