The increasing roach infestation is expected to drive the growth of the roach motel market in the coming years. Roach infestations occur when a large number of cockroaches invade a home or building, rapidly reproduce, and pose health risks by spreading bacteria, allergens, and diseases. These infestations are fueled by conditions that support the rapid breeding and survival of cockroaches, such as access to food, moisture, and shelter. Roach motels help control infestations by attracting cockroaches into a sealed, baited trap, where they become stuck and cannot escape. This provides an effective and discreet method for managing infestations in homes and businesses. For example, in April 2024, the Direct Line Group, a UK-based public limited company, reported a 3% increase in cockroach infestation callouts in the UK in 2023, compared to 2022, rising from 8,455 to 8,706 visits. As a result, the increasing number of roach infestations is contributing to the market growth of roach motels.

Companies in the roach motel market are focusing on developing more advanced cockroach control solutions to tackle pesticide resistance and improve effectiveness. These solutions provide reliable infestation control, reduce the cockroach population, and ensure long-term prevention, which contributes to improved sanitation and safety. For example, in February 2025, Nisus Corp., a U.S.-based chemical manufacturer, introduced the Dual Strike Cockroach Bait. This dual-active bait contains 5 percent boric acid and 0.008 percent fipronil to eliminate cockroaches and address pesticide resistance. Available in four-pack or 10-pack options with recyclable packaging, the bait remains effective even in the presence of competing food sources. It is designed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, offering rapid knockdown and secondary kill, making it suitable for rotation with Nisus' Magnetic Roach Bait to prevent bait aversion.
