Why Are Cockroaches a Serious Problem?

When you have knowledge of how cockroaches operate, you quickly realise why you need to get rid of them quickly. Cockroaches foul their environment with faeces or castings and with regurgitated food, and move indiscriminately from their foul matter to food and back over and over. They will consume anything from food particles, to paper and cardboard and even fabric. They taint materials with their distinctive ‘musky, oily’ smell and even the air in infested premises may contain particles of their excrement. The potential for the escalate of pathogens like salmonella and other diseases is obvious and it’s not a surprise that their presence causes great distress. We won’t go further (even though we could!) but the bottom line is that if you have cockroaches, you need to eliminate them and you require a professional pest controller to do the dirty work.

The most common (and arguably most revolting) cockroach in the UK is the Oriental Cockroach. Adults are about 20-30mm long and dark brown. Throughout the day they spend their time in harbourages, grouped all together. They are usually on the ground floor only due to the fact that they are weak climbers. Their activity peaks in the hours of darkness– if you start noticing them in the day the infestation may be quite severe. They tend to prefer damp, dark places generally so are often discovered under fridges, in drains, near pipes and in sewers.

Signs Of Cockroaches
  1. Lingering oily, musky odour
  2. Tiny black or brown cylindrical droppings about 2mm long
  3. Cockroach casts– take a note of where you find these
  4. Observing them in daylight– usually a sign that the infestation is well established
Cockroach Control

Before any work to eliminate cockroaches is carried out, it is essential to first identify the cockroach species. This will provide the pest controller with the biology, life cycle and typical habit information of the pest which will be essential in assisting prepare the required approach. The pest controller will then look to establish where they are coming from. If this is not possible, they may assist in planning the use of night-vision cameras in this process.

A mix of sticky traps, professional strength gel baits and non-chemical control procedures is commonly advised, and monitoring should be put in place. If the infestation is well established, an integrated strategy drawn up by an experienced professional pest controller is essential.
