Slough Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an exceptionally serious pest. They spread diseases like salmonella, and create significant health risks. They may contaminate food and water sources and so it is vital to deal with a cockroach infestation as soon as possible. Cockroaches also breed swiftly, and they tend to lay eggs in inaccessible places.

If you discover one cockroach inside your house, 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 reduce the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches prefer to hide within cupboards and behind appliances. They could 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 treatment which does not eradicate all cockroaches and eggs won’t be successful.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these are generally ineffective on substantial or repeated infestations. The best response is to hire an expert pest control company who will be able to survey the area to locate cockroaches and their eggs and then successfully treat them using insecticide spray and dust. Experienced companies will also advise you of the best way to stop the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
