01
Sightings at night
Cockroaches are active in the dark. Seeing them when you switch on the kitchen light is a classic sign of an established population.
Cockroach Control in Bahrain
Cleaning alone won't beat cockroaches. You have to treat where they live, not where you see them. Silver House clears German cockroaches from kitchens and large American cockroaches from drains in homes, restaurants and offices across Bahrain.
- Free inspection
- Gel baiting, not just spraying
- Homes & food businesses
Quick answer
Bait, seal and treat the hiding places. Spraying what you see is not a plan: cockroaches live in wall voids, behind appliances and in drains, and the population you don't see keeps breeding.
/ Warning signs
Signs of a cockroach problem
Seeing one cockroach usually means many more are hiding nearby.
02
Droppings
Small black specks, like ground pepper, in cabinet corners, drawers and behind the fridge.
03
Egg cases
Small brown capsules stuck in cracks, hinges and under shelves. Each one can hatch dozens of nymphs.
04
Coming up from drains
Large reddish-brown cockroaches leaving floor drains, especially in hot weather, point to the drainage system.
05
Musty smell
A strong, oily or musty odour in cupboards can mean a large hidden population.
06
Shed skins
Light brown moulted skins near hiding places show cockroaches are growing and breeding.

They need different treatment, so tell us where you see them. A photo on WhatsApp helps.
/ Treatment
How we treat cockroaches
Gel bait inside cabinets, not spray, and treatment of the drains and voids where they actually live.
Kitchens & cabinets
German cockroaches
Spraying scatters them and makes the problem worse. Bait works because they carry it home.
- Gel baiting. Applied inside cabinets, hinges, cracks and behind appliances where they hide.
- Crack-and-crevice treatment. Targeted treatment of the gaps and voids that shelter the colony.
- Prepare the kitchen. Empty the cabinets, remove cardboard and fix leaks so the bait has no competition.
- Follow-up visit. You may see a drop within days, but full control often takes a follow-up visit.
Drains & outdoor areas
American cockroaches
Large cockroaches leave drains when sewers get hot, dry or crowded and they search for water, food and cooler air.
- Drain treatment. The drainage area is treated where they breed and enter.
- Keep traps wet. Dry floor traps are open doors. Pour water into unused drains regularly.
- Proper drain covers. Fitted covers stop them climbing back into the home.
- Seal shared walls. Gaps around pipes and walls shared with neighbours are sealed or treated.

/ FAQ
Cockroach Control: your questions answered
How do I get rid of German cockroaches in kitchen cabinets fast?
Use gel bait inside the cabinets, not spray, and treat the cracks and hinges where they hide. Empty the cabinets, remove cardboard and fix leaks. You may see a drop within days, but full control often takes a follow-up visit.
Why do large cockroaches come out of floor drains in hot weather?
Large cockroaches, usually American cockroaches, leave drains when sewers get hot, dry or crowded and they search for water, food and cooler air. Pour water into unused drains regularly, fit proper drain covers and get the drainage area treated.
Do DIY cockroach sprays kill the whole nest?
No. They kill the cockroaches they touch, not the population hiding in walls, appliances and egg cases. Repellent sprays can also push cockroaches deeper and make professional bait work less well.
Why do I keep seeing cockroaches after cleaning my kitchen?
Because clean is not the same as sealed. Cockroaches live in wall voids and behind appliances, and come up through drains. Check for leaks under the sink, food behind the fridge, cardboard boxes and shared walls with neighbours.
How often should a restaurant have cockroach control?
Monthly treatment suits restaurants, food businesses and active infestations. Quarterly suits most homes. The right schedule is set after an inspection.
How much does cockroach control cost in Bahrain?
Most home treatments cost BHD 12–15 for a small property, BHD 15–18 for a medium or larger home, and BHD 18–25 for very large or complicated jobs. The final price is confirmed after a free inspection.
