How Pesso Eco Bait Reduced a Severe Cockroach Infestation in a Culinary Studio
Cockroach infestations are more than just unpleasant. They pose serious risks to food hygiene, health, and business reputation, especially in food preparation environments.
In high-activity kitchens, infestations can escalate quickly if not properly controlled.
One culinary studio in UCSI University managed to significantly reduce a severe cockroach problem using a safer, eco-friendly approach.
The Problem: Severe Cockroach Infestation in a Food Environment

The constant presence of food and water means that culinary studios often face serious cockroach infestations, particularly in food preparation areas.
Cockroaches are known to:
- Contaminate food and surfaces
- Spread bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli
- Thrive in warm, humid kitchen environments
For a culinary space, this creates not only hygiene concerns but also potential risks to staff and consumers. In this case, the high level of infestation required immediate attention.
The Challenge: Persistent and Hard-to-Control Pests
Cockroaches are resilient pests that:
- Hide in cracks, drains, and kitchen equipment
- Reproduce quickly
- Return even after basic cleaning or spraying
In food environments, using harsh chemical pesticides can also be a concern due to:
- Food safety risks
- Chemical exposure
- Strong odours
This made it important to find a solution that was both effective and suitable for hygiene-sensitive areas, especially for proper cockroach control in kitchen environments.
The Solution: Using Pesso Eco Cockroach Bait

To address the issue, UCSI culinary studio implemented Pesso Eco Cockroach Bait, a targeted pest control solution designed to attract and eliminate cockroaches at the source.
Unlike conventional spraying methods, bait systems:
- Target cockroaches directly
- Reduce the need for widespread chemical application
- Work continuously over time
This makes it an effective option for cockroach infestation control in environments where hygiene and safety are critical.
The Results: Noticeable Reduction in Cockroach Activity

Clear and noticeable improvements were observed within the treated areas.
“I observed a lot of difference now… very less the cockroaches now… Our culinary studio showed a lot of improvement.”
Key outcomes included:
- Significant reduction in cockroach sightings
- Improved cleanliness and hygiene conditions
- Better control over infestation without heavy chemical use
Why This Matters for Food & Commercial Spaces
Cockroach control is critical in environments such as:
- Restaurants and cafés
- Culinary studios
- Food processing areas
- Commercial kitchens
An effective pest control solution should not only eliminate pests but also support ongoing hygiene and safety standards.
A Smarter Approach to Cockroach Control

This case demonstrates that even severe infestations can be managed effectively with the right approach.
Using targeted solutions like Pesso Eco Cockroach Bait helps to:
- Control pests at the source
- Reduce reliance on chemical sprays
- Maintain safer and cleaner environments
Cockroach infestations can escalate quickly, especially in food-related environments. Taking early action with the right pest control method can make a significant difference in both hygiene and long-term control.
For businesses handling food, choosing a safer and more targeted solution is not just an option. It is a necessity.
