Professional Cockroach Control in Plumstead

Drains Downhill, Kitchens Anywhere

The Oriental cockroach prefers cool damp places - drains, gullies, inspection chambers, cellars and lower ground floors. On the low ground here, with drainage that dates back to the same era as the housing, that is a realistic and common origin, and it means treating the kitchen alone will not resolve it.

The German cockroach is the opposite: small, pale brown, and living inside the warm parts of a kitchen - behind a fridge motor, in a unit carcass, in the cavity around cabling. In a converted terrace it moves between flats through boxed pipework and service voids, which is why single-flat treatment so often disappoints.

• 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.
• Activity around drains, gullies or a basement. Which points at a different species from activity behind a fridge.

How We Deal With Cockroaches in Plumstead

The species is identified before anything is placed, and where the evidence points at drains or a shared void rather than the kitchen, that is where the work goes.
