Our Treatment Programme
The treatment for a cockroach infestation will depend on the size of the infestation. There are a range of options available to our technicians including spot treatments and sticky traps.
An inspection will be performed to identify the size of the infestation, where hotspots are and the most effective places to place traps. Common places for traps are underneath equipment, behind counters, in roof spaces, ducting and electrical trunking.
Once we have completed the treatment our technician will provide a report with details on the treatments provided along with recommendations on how to help prevent any more infestations in the future.
Cockroach Control Facts
An adult cockroach is light brown in colour, females are darker than the male and have a broader abdomen.
They have been around since dinosaurs roamed planet earth and are very resilient, able to live without food for a month, without water for a week and can hold their breath under water for 30 minutes which means they will not just go away without help.
Cockroaches cannot fly but they are really fast, their wings are purely to glide or flutter short distances, they are much quicker scurrying around running at speeds up to 1.5 Metres per second!
Problems Caused by Cockroaches
Cockroaches can make you very ill, some species carry pathogens associated with diarrhoea and vomiting, both of which can make you feel under the weather. All species carry bacterial substances which we make you feel unwell.
Studies have shown that cockroaches can trigger asthma as well as other allergens when the saliva, faeces and shed body parts are kicked up into the air.
