Cockroaches are one of the UK’s most common pests and there are more than 4,000 species known worldwide. Not all are pests, and cockroaches play a key role in many environments. But those found in the home can spread disease and immediate treatment is advised. Luckily, our local cockroach extermination team in Longfield are specialists in their control. Able Group can come to your home or business and eradicate the pests at a time that is convenient for you.

Controlling cockroach infestations

Cockroaches can survive without water for around two weeks but will feed on almost anything including animal faeces, such as that from hamsters or rabbits. So, good hygiene is the key to keeping cockroach infestations to a minimum in your home. Deny them a food source and they won’t like your home.

Preventing a cockroach problem

Remove food sources

Cockroaches are brilliant at scavenging and are attracted to food sources. Remove food remains, make sure there’s no standing water and keep food in airtight containers to contain the pest-attracting smells.

Clean and tidy

Cockroaches eat anything, including cardboard and glue. Their droppings also contain a chemical that alerts others to a safe spot. So, keep things tidy and decluttered really helps to reduce the chances of infestation.

General maintenance

General maintenance around your home, such as filling in gaps and cracks, will remove cockroaches’ access routes to your home. Check for gaps and cracks in areas around pipes and drains and around skirting boards.

The signs of a cockroach infestation

Warning signs

Cockroaches are mostly nocturnal, feeding at night and preferring to stay hidden during the day. You’ll probably spot signs of a cockroach infestation before you spot the pest itself.

Cockroach skins

Cockroaches shed their skins roughly five to eight times as they grow to adulthood. These shed skins are usually found close to where the cockroaches are sheltering. They are light brown and cockroach shaped. Cockroaches will be nearby.

Odd smells and smear marks

An established cockroach infestation, particularly German cockroaches, produces a musty and unpleasant odour that won’t go. Cockroaches also produce brown smear marks on horizontal surfaces and along where they scuttle.

Cockroach eggs/droppings

Cockroaches leave their dirt everywhere they go. If you see what looks like coffee grounds or black pepper behind cabinets or around food storage areas, it could be the signs of an infestation. You might also see their hardened egg cases, which are initially dark brown but turn to black.

One of the most common and troublesome cockroach species worldwide. They usually measure around 1/2 to 5/8 inch and are excellent climbers and have a remarkable ability to infest homes and buildings rapidly. German cockroaches prefer warm and humid environments.

Brown banded cockroaches

They are around 1/2 inch in length. Brown banded cockroaches have a light brown or tan colour with two distinctive lighter bands across their wings and abdomen. They prefer drier environments. They are known to be excellent climbers and can fly in the right conditions.
