Bootle Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are a very serious pest. They spread diseases like salmonella, and pose serious health risks. They may contaminate food and water sources and so it is critical to deal with a cockroach infestation as soon as possible. Cockroaches also breed rapidly, and they tend to lay eggs in inaccessible locations.

If you discover one cockroach inside your home, it’s likely that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to ensure that you remove 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 prefer to hide within cabinets and behind appliances. They can also hide inside drains or pipes if these have cracks through which they can gain access. Checking as many areas as possible is vital as a pest control treatment which does not remove all cockroaches and eggs will not be effective.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these are often ineffective on substantial or repeated infestations. The best response is to use a specialist pest control company who will be able to survey the area to locate cockroaches and their eggs and then effectively treat them using insecticide spray and dust. Experienced companies will also advise you of the most suitable way to stop the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
