Professional Cockroach Control in Eltham
Cockroaches are genuinely less common in suburban Eltham than in the denser parts of the borough, and it is worth saying so rather than implying otherwise. When they do turn up here it is usually the Oriental cockroach, and usually around a drain, a garage or a lower ground area.
Which Species, and Where It Came From
The German cockroach needs continuous warmth and travels between properties through shared service routes, which a detached or semi-detached house with no riser does not provide. Where it appears in a house like that it has usually been carried in - in packaging, in second-hand appliances, or with belongings from a previous address.
The Oriental cockroach is the more likely suburban visitor. It prefers cooler damp places and comes up from drains, gullies, inspection chambers and outbuildings. Activity around a garage, a utility area or a drain cover, rather than behind a fridge, is pointing firmly at that species.
Send a photograph if you can. Cockroaches are misidentified more often than almost any other pest - beetles from the garden get mistaken for them regularly. A clear picture can save you the cost of a treatment you do not need.

Signs You May Need Cockroach Control in Eltham
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.
- Egg cases. Small, dark, ridged capsules glued into a crevice or dropped near harbourage.
- Activity around drains, gullies or a basement. Which points at a different species from activity behind a fridge.

Coming soonFrequently Asked Questions – Cockroach Control Eltham
I found one big dark insect near the drain. Is my house infested?
Not necessarily. A single Oriental cockroach near a gully may be exactly that. What matters is repeated activity, droppings, egg cases or sightings in more than one place. Send a photograph and describe where and when.
How much does cockroach control cost in Eltham?
Flats £190 | Houses £240 - the same published figure everywhere we cover.
How do I know whether I have cockroaches?
An insect running for cover when a light goes on, droppings like ground pepper in cupboard corners, small ridged egg cases glued into a crevice, and a musty oily smell in an enclosed space.
Do you help landlords and rental properties?
Yes. Eltham's estate housing includes a substantial rented sector and we take enquiries from landlords, letting agents and tenants.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. The parades and local premises around Eltham High Street and New Eltham are covered, and commercial enquiries are welcome.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and describe what you have found, whether it is in the house, the garden or an outbuilding, and whether it started recently. For cockroaches, the time of day you saw it and whether it was in the kitchen or near a drain usually separates the two species before we arrive.
