Scunthorpe Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are a very serious pest. They spread diseases such as salmonella, and present significant health risks. They could contaminate food and water sources and so it is vital to manage a cockroach infestation as quickly as possible. Cockroaches also breed quickly, and they tend to lay eggs in inaccessible locations.

If you detect one cockroach within your property, it’s probable that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to ensure that you get rid of as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will lower the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches like to hide within cabinets and behind appliances. They may also hide inside drains or pipes if these have cracks through which they can gain entry. Checking as many areas as possible is essential as a pest control treatment which does not remove all cockroaches and eggs will not be successful.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these are often ineffective on large or repeated infestations. The most effective solution is to use an expert 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 stop the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
