Professional Cockroach Control in Blackheath

Which One You Have Decides the Whole Job

The German cockroach lives inside the warm structure of a kitchen - behind a fridge motor, inside a unit carcass, in the cavity around cabling. In a period house split into flats it moves between kitchens through the same boxed pipework and service voids that mice use, which is why a single-flat treatment in a converted building so often disappoints.

The Oriental cockroach prefers cooler damp places: drains, gullies, basements and lower ground floors. Blackheath has a good deal of period property with cellars and semi-basements, and activity found down there rather than behind a fridge is pointing at a different species and a different origin entirely.

Signs You May Need Cockroach Control in Blackheath

The full list is on the Cockroach Control Greenwich page.

• An insect running for cover when a light goes on. Almost always the first sighting, and almost always in a kitchen.
• Droppings that look like ground pepper. In cupboard corners, along the tops of units and behind appliances.
• Egg cases. Small, dark, ridged capsules glued into a crevice or dropped near harbourage.

The survey identifies the species before anything is placed, because a kitchen treatment aimed at the wrong one is how a cockroach problem survives being treated twice.
