Common pests
Cockroaches: signs and control
Cockroaches hide during the day, so seeing one often means more are nearby. We find where they are living and treat those areas.
Signs of cockroaches
- Live cockroaches, especially at night or when you turn the light on
- Small dark droppings in cupboards, drawers or behind appliances
- A musty smell in kitchens, laundries or storerooms
- Egg cases in dark, warm, sheltered spots
Why they keep coming back
Cockroaches seek warmth, food and moisture, and shelter in cracks, behind appliances and in drains. Established activity usually needs more than one visit.
What we do
- Inspect kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, voids and storage areas
- Identify the species and the areas where they are sheltering
- Treat harbourage areas and entry points with products suited to the site
- Arrange follow-up where activity is established and advise on cleaning and storage
What you can do
- Keep benches, floors and under-appliance areas clean
- Fix leaks and reduce moisture
- Remove cardboard and clutter from storage areas
- Take rubbish out regularly and keep bins closed
