Cockroaches

  • Cockroach facts

    • Cockroaches are from the Blattodea order and have been around for 320 million years!
    • The most common cockroach species in the UK are:
      • German (brown with cream stripes)
      • Oriental (black).
    • They have long antennae and are 20-30mm long.
    • Cockroaches crawl around contaminating their whole habitat with pathogens including E. coli and salmonella.
    • They will eat anything available to them! Although preferring sugars, proteins and starches, they will consume any organic matter, such as decaying wood, pet hair and sewage.
    • Exposure to the moulted skins of cockroaches can trigger asthma and other allergies.
  • What you can do

    • Poor housekeeping can encourage cockroaches
      • Keep floors and worksurfaces clear of food debris.
      • Keep bins clean and emptied frequently.
    • Some species of cockroach prefer high humidity, so keep rooms well ventilated and treat areas of damp.
    • Inspect food boxes coming into your property, particularly if you are not sure of its origin.
  • If you have a cockroach infestation, we will...

    • Identify the infestation. The species of cockroach (and its habits) will determine how we treat your property, for example where we put baits.
    • We will bait the areas that cockroaches are using with a special gel. We may also use a residual insecticide treatment (spray).
    • After several days the bait should be taking effect. We will retreat 2-3 times a few weeks apart as needed.
    • Once the infestation has been cleared we will offer you a non-invasive monitoring programme.
