Hampton Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an extremely problematic pest. They spread diseases like salmonella, and create serious health risks. They can contaminate food and water sources and so it is vital to take care of a cockroach infestation as soon as possible. Cockroaches also breed quickly, and they tend to lay eggs in inaccessible areas.

If you detect one cockroach within your home, it’s probable that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to make sure that you eradicate as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will greatly 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 critical as a pest control treatment which does not eradicate all cockroaches and eggs will not be successful.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these are generally ineffective on sizeable or persistent infestations. The most effective solution is to hire an experienced 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 avoid the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
