    In Mumbai we have LAXMAN REKHA which is a chalk. Draw a line at places u feel there are roaches, they die after eating the powder. Having toddlers and pets, one have to be doubly careful with pest control, as both have the tendency to pick up things, eat or lick them which can be hazardous.

    Leisurely fill the places with BORIC ACID, they will never return again

    They did it in our house last week also as they do periodically in this building.They used some special kind of gel that too in non reachable areas by kids. And also they say the treatment will be effective atleast for 6 months. there's nothing to worry.

    We also did pest control using this special kind of gel.It is effective and safe for children.The most important thing you remember is don't use the gel in the areas that are reachable by your kid.They say that the gel is 100% herbal also.

    Since we are staying in sharjah we did it from a service provider from here.I don't know about pest services in dubai.you can get it from the pamphlets at your door steps.otherwise ask your neighbours or the security man of your flat.

    You may try out some DIY methods. Sprinkle some boric acid.
