Somerset Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an extremely problematic pest. They spread diseases like salmonella, and cause serious health risks. They may contaminate food and water sources and so it is critical to manage a cockroach infestation as quickly as possible. Cockroaches also breed swiftly, and they are likely to lay eggs in inaccessible places.

If you identify one cockroach within your house, it’s probable that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to ensure that you eradicate as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will reduce the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches like to hide inside cabinets and behind appliances. They could also hide inside drains or pipes if these have cracks through which they can gain entry. Checking as many areas as possible is critical as a pest control treatment which does not get rid of all cockroaches and eggs won’t be effective.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these tend to be ineffective on large or repeated infestations. The most effective solution is to use a specialist pest control company who will be able to survey the area to identify cockroaches and their eggs and then successfully treat them using insecticide spray and dust. Expert companies will also advise you of the most suitable way to avoid the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
