Cockroach control

Cockroach control for households and food service in Metro Manila. Gel baiting reaches the harbourages behind equipment and inside wall voids, where spraying never lands.

Why ipis are a health problem, not just a nuisance

Cockroaches move between drains, garbage and food surfaces, carrying bacteria on their bodies. Their droppings and shed skins are a documented asthma trigger, which matters in households with children.

German cockroaches — the small ones in kitchens — reach maturity in weeks and hide in motor housings, hinge gaps and wall voids. Seeing one in daylight means the harbourage is already crowded.

What our cockroach control service includes

Harbourage inspection

Behind appliances, under sinks, inside motor housings and along drain lines.

Gel baiting

Targeted placements carried back to the nest, with no kitchen shutdown required.

Drain and void treatment

Foaming of drains and wall voids where German cockroaches breed.

Food-service scheduling

After-hours visits with service reports formatted for sanitary permit requirements.

Why aerosols make it worse

Spraying scatters the population into wall voids and neighbouring units, and repellent products push them somewhere you cannot treat. The count looks better for a week, then rebounds higher.

Baiting works with their feeding behaviour and reaches the insects you never see, including the nymphs still inside the harbourage.

Indicative price
₱1,000 – ₱6,000

Condo or townhouse, single treatment. Restaurants are usually contracted monthly rather than one-off.

Empty the cabinets and drawers we will be treating
Clear counters and put food, plates and utensils away
Pull the fridge and stove out if you can do it safely
Fix or report any dripping taps — moisture is what keeps them there
Do not spray insecticide in the week before; it drives them into the walls
Your written quote includes this checklist, specific to your property.
On the day

No need to leave, no drift, and kitchens can go straight back into use. Do not wipe the treated edges afterwards — that is the bait working.

Questions we get asked

How much does cockroach control cost?

A one-time treatment for a condo or townhouse runs ₱1,000 to ₱6,000. Food service is normally on a monthly contract, priced on floor area.

Can we stay in the house during treatment?

Yes. Gel baiting is applied in cracks and voids, so there is no spray drift and no need to leave. Kitchens can go back into use immediately.

Why am I seeing more cockroaches after treatment?

That is the bait working — insects leave harbourage to feed and die in the open over the first two to three days. Do not clean the treated edges, and the count drops off from day four.
