How Do I Kill Cockroaches?

Cockroaches can spread diseases like Salmonella, Dysentery & Gastro-enteritis, and exposure to them can also be dangerous for your health. Things like eczema and asthma have been linked to cockroach droppings.

You can try cockroach repellents or sprays that will keep cockroaches away. Another effective home remedy for cockroaches is neem. This plant is well-known for its medicinal properties and can be sprayed on areas where cockroaches are active.

The American cockroach is one of the most common types of cockroaches and can live in both indoor and outdoor areas. This pest can live up to two inches long and requires a larger sticky trap than other types.

Smaller sticky traps won’t work on these pests, so be sure to use a larger one if you see an American cockroach. Another option for killing cockroaches is to spray the perimeter of your home with a perimeter repellent.

Our Cockroach Control Methods - How We Help Kill them.

An established cockroach infestation can be challenging to control if the cockroaches are distributed throughout the building, coupled with the fast rate of reproduction of the species. Several treatments, along with monitoring, may be required.

Before any treatment is carried out a thorough a survey is required to establish which species of cockroach we would be treated as this along with the slightly different biology, and behaviour of each species will enable better control.

We have different control methods at our disposal. These may range from:

• Gel applications
  which get placed in a position where cockroaches will feed on the bait

• Insecticide applications
  Where we will both fan spray and crack and crevice treatments, using a rotation of insecticide. These may also contain insect growth regulators.

• ULV application.
  This airborne insecticide with droplets size down to 15 microns and complements the fan and crack and crevice treatment.

After each treatment, a period of monitoring with sticky traps is advisable to give an early warning. Steps should be taken after treatment to prevent re-infestation, by proofing buildings, monitoring goods coming into the building, which may carry egg cases or live cockroaches.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Cockroaches may leave strange brown stains on surfaces where water is present, as well as tiny droppings with a tubular shape. Another sign of a cockroach infestation is moulted skin, which they shed as they go through several nymph stages before becoming full-grown adults.

The common cockroach is typically the German, oriental, American, and brown banded cockroach can all be found in the United Kingdom.
