Frome Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are a very problematic pest. They spread diseases such as salmonella, and cause serious health risks. They can contaminate food and water sources and so it is crucial to control a cockroach infestation as quickly as possible. Cockroaches also breed quickly, and they often lay eggs in inaccessible areas.

If you identify one cockroach inside your property, it’s likely that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to make certain you eliminate as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will decrease the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches like to hide within cabinets and behind appliances. They can also hide inside drains or pipes if these have cracks by which they can gain entry. Checking as many areas as possible is essential as a treatment which does not get rid of 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 most effective solution is to use an experienced 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. Professional companies will also advise you of the best way to avoid the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
