Flats and terraces in Hyson Green share services, and cockroaches use them as a way through. We treat the source and the routes, not just the room you noticed.
Where post-war flats sit beside older terraces, the shared parts of a building often matter most: bin stores, communal pipework, service risers and the gaps around them. Cockroaches can travel between flats along those routes, so one resident clearing their own kitchen may not be enough while insects keep arriving from elsewhere. Insects that run when a cupboard door is opened usually have a hiding place within a few feet.
We aim to speak to the person who manages the building as well as the tenant when that helps. On the inspection we identify the species, check kitchens, bathrooms and any boiler or meter cupboards, and treat the harbourages we find. Advice on waste, spillages and sealing follows, and we can arrange a follow-up if activity continues. A stale, musty smell in a closed cupboard can be one of the earliest signs, before any insect is seen.
It depends on the lease or tenancy. Sometimes the landlord or managing agent books it, sometimes the resident does. We can discuss the options and recommend treating affected flats together, since cockroaches move between them. Our advice is based on what we find, not a standard script.
That depends on how established the infestation is. Egg cases can hatch after treatment, so a follow-up is often sensible. We explain what we find at the first visit and what we would expect to need. If you are unsure, ring 0115 937 5117 and describe what you have seen.
They can arrive in deliveries, boxes or from neighbouring properties and settle where there is warmth, food and moisture.

A mouse needs a gap of only around a centimetre. In Hyson Green's terraces and post-war flats, the routes in are often pipes and cable gaps.
Read the advice →The small flying moth is not the one that eats your clothes. The damage is done by larvae, usually somewhere dark and undisturbed in a wardrobe or under a bed.
