Professional Cockroach Control
Cockroaches can become established in kitchens, food preparation areas, cupboards, storerooms and other warm, sheltered parts of a property. Signs can include sightings at night, droppings, egg cases or an unusual musty smell.

- Professional Treatment — Put an appropriate cockroach-control programme in place and advise on any follow-up that may be required.
Signs You May Have a Cockroach Problem
-
Cockroach sightings — Cockroaches are mainly active at night, so seeing them when lights are switched on can indicate activity nearby.

Droppings — Small dark droppings may appear inside cupboards, around appliances, along skirting boards or close to food-storage areas.
-
Egg cases — Small brown egg cases may be found in sheltered areas, cupboards, cracks or behind kitchen equipment.
-
Activity around kitchens — Cockroaches are attracted to areas where they can find warmth, moisture and food.
-
Unusual smell — A persistent musty or unpleasant odour can sometimes develop where cockroach activity has become established.
-
Shed skins — Cockroaches shed their skins as they grow, which may be found around harbourage areas and along their regular routes.
