Get answers to common questions about our services
What types of cockroaches are common in the UK?
The two most common species are German cockroaches (small, light brown, found in kitchens and bathrooms) and Oriental cockroaches (larger, dark brown/black, preferring cooler, damp areas). German cockroaches breed faster and are harder to eliminate, while Oriental cockroaches typically infest basements, drains, and ground floors.
Are cockroaches dangerous to health?
Yes, cockroaches carry serious diseases including salmonella, E.coli, dysentery, and gastroenteritis. They contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria from their bodies, faeces, and saliva. Cockroach allergens can also trigger asthma and allergic reactions, particularly in children. Professional elimination is essential for health and hygiene.
How quickly do cockroaches reproduce?
German cockroaches can produce 30,000+ offspring in a year. Females carry egg cases containing 30-40 eggs, with nymphs maturing in 6-12 weeks. Oriental cockroaches reproduce slower but are hardier. This rapid reproduction means small infestations become severe quickly, making early professional treatment critical for effective control.
Why do I only see cockroaches at night?
Cockroaches are nocturnal, hiding in cracks and crevices during daylight hours. Seeing them during the day indicates a severe infestation where overcrowding forces them into the open. They prefer dark, warm, humid areas near food and water sources. Night-time activity is normal behaviour, but daytime sightings require immediate professional attention.
How many treatments are needed for cockroaches?
Typically 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart are required to eliminate all life stages. Initial treatment targets adults and nymphs, while follow-ups address newly hatched cockroaches from eggs that survived. Severe infestations may need additional visits. Regular monitoring ensures complete elimination and prevents re-infestation.
Can cockroaches survive professional treatment?
Professional treatments are highly effective when applied correctly. However, cockroach eggs have protective casings that resist insecticides, which is why follow-up treatments are essential. Proper preparation, thorough application, and client cooperation with hygiene recommendations ensure treatment success and prevent resistant populations from developing.
