Cockroach Control

Reliable Cockroach Control Solutions for Homes & Businesses

A cockroach infestation is not just a nuisance — it is a serious health hazard. Cockroaches contaminate food, trigger asthma and allergies, and spread bacterial diseases including Salmonella and E. coli. If you have spotted cockroaches in your kitchen, bathroom, or behind appliances in your Bhubaneswar home or office, the problem is almost certainly larger than what you can see.Magic Broom provides professional cockroach control in Bhubaneswar using a combination of gel baiting, residual spraying, and crack-and-crevice treatment — methods that eliminate cockroaches at the source, including eggs and hidden colonies, without filling your home with harsh chemical odours.

German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) — the most common in kitchens, restaurants, and food-preparation areas. Small, light brown, breeds rapidly. Highly resistant to store-bought sprays.

American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana) — larger, reddish-brown, found in drains, pipes, and sewage areas. Common in older buildings and ground-floor properties.

Oriental Cockroach — dark brown to black, prefers damp, cool environments. Found in basements, meter boxes, and under sinks.

Brown-banded Cockroach — prefers dry, warm areas like electronics, furniture, and upper cabinets.

How long does cockroach gel treatment take?

A standard residential treatment takes 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the property. The property does not need to be vacated during gel treatment.

How long until I see results after gel treatment?

You will typically see a significant reduction in cockroach activity within 3–5 days, with near-complete elimination within 7–14 days as the bait spreads through the colony.

Is gel treatment safe for food areas like kitchens?

Yes. Our gel formulation is FSSAI-compliant and specifically designed for food-handling environments. The bait is applied in tiny quantities in out-of-reach locations, posing no risk to food or human contact.

Can I cook immediately after cockroach treatment?

For spray treatments, we recommend waiting 2–3 hours with windows open. For gel-only treatment, there is no waiting period — you can resume cooking immediately.

Why do cockroaches keep coming back after home remedies?

Over-the-counter sprays and baits kill only the cockroaches you can see — not the eggs or the hidden colony. Professional gel baiting targets the breeding population at the source, providing lasting control.

Do you treat drains and sewage entry points?

Yes. American cockroaches typically enter through drains and pipes. Magic Broom applies drain treatment and seals common entry points as part of the comprehensive treatment process.

Our Cockroach Treatment Methods

Gel baiting is the gold standard for cockroach control in modern homes and commercial kitchens. We apply tiny drops of highly attractive, slow-acting gel bait in cracks, crevices, hinges, and behind appliances. Cockroaches consume the bait and carry it back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony including nymphs and eggs within 7–14 days.

Advantages of gel treatment:

Odourless and invisible — ideal for kitchens, hospitals, restaurants, and offices
No need to vacate the premises or cover food
Eliminates hidden colonies, not just visible cockroaches
Highly effective against German cockroaches resistant to traditional sprays

Residual Spray Treatment

A residual insecticide is sprayed on surfaces where cockroaches travel — walls, floors, cabinet undersides, and drains. The chemical remains active for weeks, killing cockroaches on contact. Best used in combination with gel baiting for maximum effectiveness.

Crack & Crevice Treatment

Cockroaches spend up to 75% of their time hidden in cracks, gaps behind tiles, and wall cavities. Our technicians use precision applicator tools to treat every harborage point, ensuring no refuge remains.
