Treating a cockroach infestation is more than just hitting them with your slippers or spraying insecticide aerosols on the cockroaches. Insect monitoring stations are useful tools to detect the presence of cockroach infestations in Singapore. In premises with cockroach infestations, these stations can provide trained pest management professionals (PMP) with information such as the : - Level of infestation - Type of cockroach species - Location of the nest or breeding sites. This information is important in determining a suitable treatment method.
