Farnborough Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are a very problematic pest. They spread diseases like salmonella, and present severe health risks. They could contaminate food and water sources and so it is crucial to manage a cockroach infestation as quickly as possible. Cockroaches also breed rapidly, and they are likely to lay eggs in inaccessible areas.

If you detect one cockroach within your property, it’s likely that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to make sure that you get rid of as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will help 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 by which they can gain access. Checking as many areas as possible is critical as a treatment which does not get rid of all cockroaches and eggs won’t be effective.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these have a tendency to be ineffective on sizeable or persistent infestations. The best response is to hire a professional 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. Experienced companies will also advise you of the most effective way to avoid the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
