Cockroach Control in Lahore
Gel Baiting & Drain Treatment

Cockroaches are the most common pest in Lahore homes and restaurants. They carry Salmonella and E. coli, contaminate food, and trigger allergies. We remove them at the source with gel baiting, residual spray, and drain treatment, then return to make sure they are gone.

Why store-bought sprays don't stop cockroaches

The cockroaches you see are only a small part of the colony. Most hide inside cabinet hinges, behind appliances, under sinks, and deep in drains, where a surface spray never reaches. Spraying scatters them into new hiding places, and the problem comes back within days.

German cockroaches, the small light-brown species, are the most problematic in Lahore homes and restaurants. They breed quickly in warm kitchens, which is why March and April, before populations peak, is the best time to treat. We target the whole colony, not just the ones you see.

How we get rid of cockroaches

We combine three methods so that cockroaches have nowhere left to hide, then return to finish the job.

Gel baiting

Small drops of gel bait are placed in cracks, hinges, and hiding spots, not sprayed everywhere. Cockroaches carry the bait back to the colony, reaching the ones you never see. It works over 7 to 14 days.

Residual spray

A long-lasting spray along skirting, entry points, and behind appliances. Cockroaches that cross treated surfaces are eliminated, and new ones coming in are stopped.

Drain treatment

Kitchen and bathroom drains are a main breeding and entry route in Lahore homes. We treat drains and gully traps so cockroaches stop coming up from below.

14-day follow-up

Complete elimination usually needs 1 to 2 follow-ups. We return 14 days after the first treatment to check activity and treat any remaining hiding spots.

What to expect on the day

1. Free inspection

We check the kitchen, bathrooms, drains, and storage to find where the colony lives and how big it is.

2. Prepare the kitchen

Cover or put away open food and utensils. You do not need to leave home for gel baiting and general spray.

3. Treatment

Gel baits, residual spray, and drain treatment. Keep children and pets out of sprayed areas for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

4. Follow-up

You may see more cockroaches for a few days as the bait works. We return after 14 days to finish the job.

A single treatment sharply reduces cockroach activity, but complete elimination usually requires 1 to 2 follow-up treatments. Gel baits work over 7 to 14 days as they are carried back to the colony. We schedule a follow-up visit 14 days after the first treatment.

This is normal for the first few days. The treatment drives cockroaches out of their hiding places before it eliminates them. Do not spray store-bought insecticide over the gel bait, as it stops the bait from working.

Yes, when applied by trained professionals. Gel baits are placed in cracks and hinges out of reach, not sprayed across open surfaces. Keep children and pets out of sprayed areas until the re-entry time, usually 30 minutes to 2 hours.

A small house of 2 to 3 rooms costs PKR 2,500 to 4,500. A medium house of 5 rooms costs PKR 5,500 to 9,000, and a large house of 1 kanal or more costs PKR 7,500 to 12,000. A restaurant or commercial kitchen costs PKR 7,000 to 11,000.

Keep food sealed, clean up crumbs and grease before bed, fix leaking taps, and keep drain covers closed. Seal cracks around pipes and cabinets. For homes with repeated problems, treatment every 3 to 6 months keeps them away.
