  Cockroaches can be a big problem on buses and trains, but the pesticides used to treat them can cause worker illness.

The new fact sheet (PDF) recommends changing conditions that attract cockroaches, as well as using safer and more effective. Gel baits are effective non-chemical and gel bait treatments rather than spraying or for controlling cockroaches fogging pesticides. [Description provided by NIOSH]
