Cockroach Control

Our buildings are ideal for cockroaches because they provide food, water, warmth and shelter. You will probably have a problem with the prolific German Cockroach.

If you see the German Cockroach during the day or in areas where there is no food available such as bedrooms then you may have enormous populations.

Signs of Cockroach Activity Include:

Droppings

Cockroaches cast off their outer body or skeleton during their life and you may notice these in various areas around your home or building.

Spoilt Food

Cockroaches will eat food that has not been properly stored and vomit back onto the food.

What you can do with our flea help and advice

Sanitation

You can reduce food and water available to Cockroaches. Even small pockets of moisture can keep Cockroaches nearby as they can go without food for over a month. One way you can help is to avoid keeping rubbish indoors overnight.

Proofing

We can advise you on ways you can help to proof your home against Cockroach entry. This may include simple measures such as fixing mesh over holes to prevent Cockroach entry and to seal cracks and crevices.

Stock

Ensure regular stock rotation and also inspect incoming food stock.

Storage

Ensure food is stored above the ground and clear of walls.

Garbage

Ensure your garbage is kept secure and locked.

Cockroaches can…

Spread disease by transporting bacteria and organisms from sewers and other unsanitary sources to food and food handling surfaces and utensils.

Seriously harm the reputation of a business. The appearance of Cockroaches in the public areas of a business can cause a huge loss of goodwill. Even your staff can find the presence of Cockroaches quite repulsive.

Contaminate food with their droppings, their dead casts (outer skeleton) discarded Cockroach egg cases even dead Cockroaches and vomit marks.

Cause unpleasant odours due to secretions from their mouths and outer shell. These are particularly severe when large populations are present.
