Cockroaches

Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that prefer to live and feed in dark and moist places. These areas include under the floor drains, inside appliances, and behind refrigerators, sinks and stoves. Cockroaches can flatten their bodies to fit through narrow spaces where they would breed. They also carry many health risks such as food contamination, increased risk of asthma and the transmission of diseases such as salmonella and dysentery

Cockroach Infestation

Here are some signs you’ve got roaches;

  • Black grainy droppings in dark and closed spaces, and along the walls

  • Sightings of small dark brown oval-shaped casings which are cockroach eggs

  • Sightings of moulted skin

  • Unpleasant musty odour

  • Live cockroaches can be found, commonly around kitchens and bathrooms, even during the day

We invest in our pest control technicians to make sure they have the highest professional qualifications. Due to this, any technician that attends a cockroach removal job will be the British Pest Control Association qualified to a minimum of Level 2.

Hide And Seek Pests – Cockroach treatment programme: Controlling cockroaches can be difficult for an inexperienced person, due to the challenges in getting the insecticide to the insect. It is essential to get sufficient insecticide to kill nymphs hatching later from egg capsules.


We recommend contacting our professional pest control company, Hide And Seek Pests, to carry out the work, as we have access to higher concentration insecticides not available to the public. Contact us on 0203 198 8710 or email us at admin@hideandseekpests.co.uk for more information or to receive a free quote.
