Kettering Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an exceptionally problematic pest. They spread diseases such as salmonella, and cause severe health risks. They could contaminate food and water sources and so it is essential to control a cockroach infestation as quickly as possible. Cockroaches also breed quickly, and they often lay eggs in inaccessible places.

If you spot one cockroach within your home, it’s likely 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 reduce the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches like to hide inside cupboards and behind appliances. They could also hide inside drains or pipes if these have cracks through which they can gain entry. Checking as many areas as possible is critical as a treatment which does not remove all cockroaches and eggs will not be successful.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these tend to be ineffective on sizeable or repeated infestations. The most effective response is to use a specialist 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. Expert companies will also advise you of the best way to prevent the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
