Cockroach control
Professional cockroach control for homes, landlords and businesses, with clear advice and a quotation before any work starts.
Cockroaches spread bacteria onto food and surfaces and can trigger allergies and asthma. They hide in warm, humid places such as behind cookers, fridges and boilers and come out at night.
In the UK the most common species are the German cockroach and the Oriental cockroach. Identifying the species correctly matters because they are treated in different ways.
Signs to look out for
- Cockroaches seen at night, especially in kitchens and bathrooms
- Small dark droppings that look like pepper or coffee grounds
- Egg cases behind appliances and in cupboards
- An unpleasant, oily smell in heavier infestations
How we deal with it
Identification
We identify the species and the hiding places, and place monitors to measure activity.
Targeted treatment
We use professional gel baits and, where suitable, residual insecticides applied carefully to cracks and voids.
Monitoring
We return to check monitors and repeat treatment until activity has stopped.
For food businesses, we can provide written treatment records to support your food safety management system and inspections by your local authority.
