The Oriental cockroach is dark brown/black and ranges from 17-30mm whilst the more common German cockroach is lighter brown and smaller 12-15mm. German cockroaches are found throughout buildings but show a preference to warm humid areas. They are good climbers, being able to climb vertical glass or tiled surfaces. An infestation of these cockroaches can be quickly established once they have entered the premises. This species is an extremely serious pest in any different types of premises ranging from hospitals to domestic houses.
How do we control cockroaches?
Our treatment programme for cockroaches consists of three visits. Our technician will initially talk through the problems you are experiencing and explain what our initial treatment entails. He will then carry out a thorough inspection of your premises prior to any treatment and assess the level and extent of the infestation. Before a treatment is carried out, it is important to identify the cockroach species. This will provide details of the biology, life cycle and habits of the pest, which can be exploited in the control programme. Once this has been established he will then be able to carry out treatment to the appropriate areas. All our treatments are completely safe for children and animals.
Once our treatment is complete we will detail our work in an inspection report and leave this with you, our technician will then arrange a convenient time to carry out a follow up visit.
On
our first follow up visit will reveal the extent of the infestation
and areas which are more heavily infested. These areas will be
treated with the appropriate insecticides and sticky insect monitor
traps laid down on the first visit will be checked and replaced
where necessary. Our second follow up visit will conclude the
treatment programme and the premises should normally be
clear.
Where
there is a history of cockroaches in certain areas it is
recommended that a service contract be taken out to maintain an
acceptable level of control and prevent the spread of
infestation.
