Older city buildings give cockroaches plenty of warm, hidden space. We inspect, identify the species and treat the harbourages in Nottingham homes and food premises.
A city this old has a lot of buried space: cellars, basements, shared walls and service ducts that run between flats and shops. Cockroaches use all of it. A sighting in one kitchen can trace back to a drain run or void that several properties share, which is why we look beyond the room where the insect was seen before deciding what to treat.
Where the building is a mix of homes and food businesses, the neighbours matter too. We identify the species first, because the German cockroach and the oriental cockroach prefer different conditions, then treat the harbourages and the routes between them. We also tell you what to change in storage and waste so the problem does not return. Cockroaches are mostly active after dark, so the clearest evidence is often found by torch, in the early hours or on the first trip downstairs.
In terraces, flats and mixed-use buildings they can move along pipework, floor voids and shared walls. We look for the entry route as well as the nest, and tell you if the neighbouring unit may need attention too.
Our commercial division offers free surveys and a free written inspection report, which is useful if an environmental health officer visits. We work around opening hours where we can. That depends on the property, so we look before advising.
They can arrive in deliveries, boxes or from neighbouring properties and settle where there is warmth, food and moisture.
