Wickford Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are an extremely serious pest. They spread diseases such as salmonella, and pose severe health risks. They could contaminate food and water sources and so it is vital to manage a cockroach infestation as soon as possible. Cockroaches also breed swiftly, and they tend to lay eggs in inaccessible locations.

If you identify one cockroach within your house, it’s likely that there are more. The first step to cockroach treatment is to ensure that you remove as many hiding places as possible. Cleaning as many accessible areas as you can will help reduce the number of places that cockroaches are able to hide in. Cockroaches like to hide inside cupboards 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 vital as a treatment which does not get rid of all cockroaches and eggs won’t be effective.

There are DIY cockroach treatments available, however these have a tendency to be ineffective on large or persistent infestations. The most effective 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. Expert companies will also advise you of the best way to prevent the infestation from reoccuring by blocking likely access routes.
