The cockroach is a large insect with long antennae and two pairs of wings. The most common species in the UK are the German cockroach (15mm long) and the Oriental cockroach (up to 25mm in length). They breed rapidly, eat almost anything, and will tolerate many different habitats. The average adult may live for up to six months.

Cockroaches are an extremely distasteful pest. They are often found in homes and are particularly problematic for businesses, especially in the catering sector, because they carry diseases such as Salmonella, Typhoid, and Dysentery. Infestations have also been linked to skin disorders such as eczema and asthma. The most vulnerable to infection are children and the elderly.

Professional Gel and Insecticide Treatment

Cockroaches survive amateur sprays by hiding deep in cracks, appliances and drains, and they breed fast enough to outrun any DIY effort. Our technicians use professional gel baits and insecticides that workers carry back to the harbourage, wiping out the population at its source.

Every treatment is guaranteed, with clear aftercare guidance so the infestation stays gone.

Why DIY Removal Fails

  • Cockroaches are one of nature's tough survivor species and adapt extremely quickly
  • Many shop-bought products will fail because they are not up to date with resistant strains
  • These insects are also good at finding refuge to escape amateur treatments
  • Professional identification and targeted treatment is essential for full eradication
