Cockroaches spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and breed rapidly. We eliminate entire colonies using targeted gel bait, residual spraying, and drain treatment.
Cockroaches are one of the most common and persistent pests in Shah Alam homes, restaurants, and commercial properties. Malaysia's warm, humid climate provides ideal breeding conditions for cockroaches year-round. A single pair of German cockroaches can produce thousands of offspring within a year — which is why early intervention is critical.
At Mr Pest Control Shah Alam, we deal with cockroach infestations daily across every type of property — from terrace house kitchens in Kota Kemuning to restaurant kitchens in Seksyen 13. Our approach goes beyond surface spraying: we target the source, eliminate the colony, and set up prevention measures to keep them from coming back.
We commonly encounter two main species in Shah Alam properties:
Both species carry bacteria including Salmonella and E. coli, and their droppings and shed skins trigger allergies and asthma — particularly dangerous for young children and the elderly.
Professional-grade cockroach gel bait applied in cracks, crevices, hinges, and harbourage areas. Cockroaches feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony, creating a chain reaction that eliminates the entire nest.
Targeted application of residual insecticide to surfaces where cockroaches travel — along skirting boards, behind appliances, under sinks, and around drain openings. The residual effect continues killing cockroaches for weeks after application.
Cockroaches often enter through drain pipes and floor traps. We treat these entry points with specialised formulations to kill cockroaches living in the drainage system and prevent re-entry.
We identify and recommend sealing gaps around pipes, door sweeps, and other entry points. Combined with hygiene advice, this prevents future infestations.
Dark droppings: Small, dark specks resembling ground pepper found in kitchen drawers, behind appliances, or along wall edges.
Sighting at night: Seeing cockroaches when you turn on the kitchen light means a significant population is present — you're only seeing a fraction.
Musty odour: A strong, oily, musty smell in enclosed spaces like under the sink or behind the fridge indicates heavy cockroach activity.
Egg cases (oothecae): Small, dark brown, capsule-shaped cases found in hidden areas. Each case contains up to 40 eggs.
Smear marks: Brown, irregular smear marks along walls and surfaces where cockroaches travel regularly.
Damaged packaging: Cockroaches chew through cardboard, paper, and thin plastic packaging to reach food.
Food and beverage establishments in Shah Alam face strict hygiene requirements. A cockroach sighting can damage your reputation and business. We provide scheduled cockroach management programmes for restaurants, cafes, mamak stalls, food courts, and catering kitchens across Glenmarie and throughout Shah Alam.

We offer a complete range of pest control solutions for every situation.
Cockroach treatment for a typical terrace house in Shah Alam starts from around RM150 to RM350 depending on the severity and property size. Restaurants and commercial properties are quoted based on area and treatment frequency.
Gel bait treatment starts working within 24 to 48 hours. You may see increased cockroach activity initially as they are drawn to the bait — this is normal. Significant reduction is typically visible within one to two weeks.
Yes. Our gel bait is applied in cracks and hidden areas — not on food preparation surfaces. The products we use are approved for use in food establishments. We advise wiping surfaces before resuming food preparation.
For homes, we recommend treatment every 3 to 4 months for prevention. For restaurants and F&B establishments, monthly or bi-monthly treatment is recommended due to the high-risk environment.
Cockroaches can re-enter through drains, gaps under doors, and pipe openings. If only surface spraying is done without targeting the colony and entry points, re-infestation is likely. Our comprehensive approach addresses all three factors.
Yes. Drain treatment is a key part of our cockroach control. American cockroaches often live and breed in the drain system. We treat floor traps, drain pipes, and sewer access points to eliminate this population.
