Cockroach control in London
German cockroaches breed fast and hide in warm voids — behind fridges, inside motor housings, in cracked tiling. One sighting usually means an established population. We run a gel and residual programme that reaches the harbourage, not just the insects on the floor, and document everything for your EHO file.
In short
How cockroaches treatment works
Cockroach control uses professional gel bait applied to harbourage points plus a residual insecticide, over a planned course of two to three visits. The visits are spaced to catch newly hatched nymphs. Commercial kitchens also receive a written report and recommendations for the EHO file.
Covered by a written guarantee — if the treated pest returns inside the cover period, we come back and re-treat free of charge.
Signs to look for
Do you have a problem?
- Live insects scattering when a light goes on at night
- Small dark droppings like coarse pepper along worktop edges and inside cupboards
- Egg cases (oothecae) — brown, ridged capsules in cracks and behind appliances
- A distinctive oily, musty smell in an infested kitchen
- Shed skins near warm equipment such as fridges, dishwashers and ovens

Cockroaches FAQ
What customers ask before booking
Can you treat a cockroach problem without closing the kitchen?+
Usually yes. Gel baiting is targeted and low-disruption, and we can work out of hours to avoid service times.
How many treatments are needed?+
Two or three. Eggs are protected from insecticide, so revisits are timed to catch the nymphs that hatch afterwards.
Do you provide reports for the EHO?+
Yes. Commercial clients get a digital report after every visit, including products used and recommended proofing works.
Why do cockroaches keep coming back?+
Almost always an untreated harbourage or a shared void with a neighbouring unit. We survey the whole structure, not just the room they were seen in.
