Where Victorian terraces meet later housing east of the centre, cockroach problems range from shared-wall spread to a single warm kitchen. We start by finding out which.
Housing in this part of the city varies from street to street, which affects how cockroaches behave. In a terrace they can move through party walls and shared voids. In a later semi, a problem is more likely to be limited to the kitchen and utility room, often around appliances that stay warm all day and a bin that is rarely far away.
So the first visit is about finding out which kind of problem you have. We identify the species, look behind and under appliances, check the boiler space and bathroom, and treat the places where insects rest. We then give plain advice on food storage, bins and sealing, and discuss whether a follow-up visit is likely to be needed. Clearing clutter from the floor of cupboards makes inspection quicker and gives them fewer places to rest.
Cockroaches are flattened and quick, with long antennae, and they appear mostly at night. If you can catch one in a jar, we can help identify it, which also tells us how to treat. Tell us about anything that has changed in the home recently.
German cockroaches stay in warm kitchens and breed quickly, while oriental ones favour cooler, damp places such as cellars and drains. The species affects where we look and how we treat. There is no pressure to book anything on the phone.
They can arrive in deliveries, boxes or from neighbouring properties and settle where there is warmth, food and moisture.
