Cockroaches are dangerous because they can spread harmful germs like salmonella and E. coli.

Pestoid is experts who know how to check everywhere cockroaches might hide, such as electric motors, electronic devices, ceilings, walls, cracks, and small spaces.

After finding out how many cockroaches there are, we use different treatment methods like sprays in cracks and hidden areas, toxic baits, and sometimes special heat treatments to get rid of them.

How to prevent cockroach infestation

Keeping your home or workplace clean is key to stopping or controlling cockroach problems. Here are some simple tips:

  • Store all open food in sealed containers
  • Clean up and wash dishes after every meal, don’t leave food out, especially overnight
  • Keep surfaces, kitchen areas, and floors very clean
  • Take out the trash often and keep bins sealed and away from the building
  • Clean kitchen spots where grease builds up really well
  • Make sure any indoor manhole covers are sealed tight

By doing these easy things, you can greatly lower the chance of cockroaches invading. These steps help keep your home or work area free from cockroaches.

Type of cockroaches

German cockroach

German cockroaches are the most common of the species within the UK. Despite having wings they do not fly, but they are fast runners and extremely good climbers so they can move around very quickly. German cockroaches prefer warm humid environments, with food and water nearby. Typically, you will find them in kitchens or bathrooms.

Oriental Cockroach

Oriental cockroaches are typically dark reddish-brown in colour, with the adults varying in size from 25mm to 30mm in length. Oriental cockroaches can survive cooler conditions than Germans, but most of the time they will live in buildings, as unfortunately these often provide the comfort and safety they are looking for. One of the most likely indoor areas you’ll find Oriental cockroaches is in the basement as these are moist damp areas.

American Cockroach

The American cockroach has reddish-brown wings, light, circular or figure-eight markings on its thorax. Typically, they prefer habitats where food and water supply are plentiful. American cockroaches require warmer conditions than German and Orientals. They can be found in tropical glasshouses and inner-city drains. The American cockroach, like most others, will consider anything for its next meal. Foods, faeces and everything in between is fair game for a hungry roach.
