Keston Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an exceptionally problematic pest. They spread diseases such as salmonella, and present severe health risks. They can contaminate food and water sources and so it is essential to manage a cockroach infestation as soon as possible. Cockroaches also breed swiftly, and they often lay eggs in inaccessible locations.

If you spot one cockroach within your home, it’s probable that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to make certain you get rid of 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 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 essential as a pest control treatment which does not eliminate all cockroaches and eggs won’t be effective.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these are generally ineffective on sizeable or persistent infestations. The most effective response is to hire an experienced pest control company who will be able to survey the area to identify cockroaches and their eggs and then effectively treat them using insecticide spray and dust. Specialist companies will also advise you of the best way to avoid the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
