A Historic Milestone in Gel Bait Treatment for Cockroach Control in India
Elite Corporation became the first pest control company in India to implement the Gel Bait Treatment for cockroach management, setting a benchmark in the industry. The breakthrough moment came when the company conducted successful trials for Western Railways, treating Rajdhani Express AC Coaches and Pantry Coaches with Goliath® Gel Cockroach Control Gel.This initiative was not just a technical milestone but also a testament to the trust placed in Elite Corporation by key stakeholders in public health and hygiene. The effectiveness of the treatment was officially recognized by Rhone-Poulenc Agrochemicals (India) Ltd., whose Consultant addressed a letter to Mr. Jaldhi Trivedi, CEO of Elite Corporation, acknowledging the success of the trial.
Why Cockroach Control in Public Transportation is Critical
Cockroach infestations are a serious concern in public transportation systems, particularly in trains, buses, and food-serving areas like railway pantry cars. Without effective control measures, these pests pose significant threats to:
1. Public Hygiene & Health Risks
Cockroaches are carriers of bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus, leading to food poisoning, diarrhea, and other infections. In railway coaches, especially pantry cars, these pests contaminate food supplies, kitchen surfaces, and passenger areas, increasing the risk of disease transmission.
2. Cockroach Nuisance & Passenger Experience
A cockroach-infested train is not just a health hazard but also a nightmare for passengers. The presence of cockroaches in sleeping compartments, dining areas, or restrooms creates discomfort and diminishes the overall travel experience. A proactive approach to pest control ensures cleaner, safer, and more pleasant journeys for passengers.
3. The Challenge of Traditional Pest Control Methods
Earlier, pest control in railways relied on fumigation and sprays, which posed challenges such as:
- Strong chemical odors that caused passenger discomfort.
- Short-lived effectiveness, requiring frequent re-treatments.
- Health hazards due to chemical exposure.
4. The Gel Bait Treatment Revolution
The introduction of Gel Bait Treatment marked a game-changing shift in pest management:
No chemical sprays – eliminating strong odors and passenger discomfort. Long-lasting effectiveness – keeping pests at bay for extended periods. Precise application – targeting hidden infestation areas where cockroaches thrive.
