“We think like an insect. We understand their behavioural traits. Our unique facility has enabled us to develop formulations and application techniques that perform in every insect environment and prove deadly in every case. It’s all about knowing more than the insects, and our competitors”.

Rapid Breeding

With a life cycle of approximately 100 days under favourable conditions and females typically producing capsules of 30-40 eggs every 3-4 weeks, 3-4 generations of cockroaches can be produced in a year and a 27-fold population increase can occur in just three months.

Under these circumstances, control levels of 95% can result in population depletions of only two-thirds one month after a one-off treatment.

This means infestations that are not completely controlled can lead to a rapid resurgence of problems and an increased risk of developing insecticide resistance or avoidance.
