Why Are Cockroaches a Big Problem?

When you understand how cockroaches operate, you quickly realise why you should remove them straight away. Cockroaches foul their environment with faeces or castings and with regurgitated food items, and they move indiscriminately from their filth to food and back over and over. They will eat anything from food fragments, to paper and cardboard and even fabric. They taint materials with their distinctive ‘musky, oily’ smell as well as the air in infested premises may contain fragments of their excrement. The opportunity for the spread of pathogens like salmonella and other diseases is obvious and it’s not a surprise that their presence causes great distress. We will not go further (even though we could!) but the bottom line is that if you have cockroaches, you will need to eliminate them and you require a professional pest controller to do the dirty work.

The most common (and arguably most disgusting) cockroach in the UK is the Oriental Cockroach. Adults are about 20-30mm long and dark brown. During the day they spend their time in harbourages, grouped all together. They are normally on the ground floor only because they are weak climbers. Their activity peaks in the hours of darkness– if you begin seeing them in the day the infestation may be quite severe. They often tend to prefer damp, dark places ordinarily so are often found under fridges, in drains, near pipes and in sewers.

Indications Of Cockroaches
  1. Lingering oily, musky odour
  2. Small 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 remove 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 instrumental in assisting prepare the required strategy. The pest controller will then look to establish where they are originating 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 methods 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 crucial.
