Why Choose Us?
Understanding the Cockroach Threat to Your Property
Cockroaches thrive in warm, dark, and humid environments, often found lurking behind appliances, in wall cavities, under sinks, and within drainage systems. Species like the German cockroach and Oriental cockroach are common in the UK and can multiply rapidly, quickly turning a minor issue into a full-blown infestation. They are notorious for spreading diseases as they crawl across food preparation areas and contaminate stored goods. Whether you're a homeowner in Dartmouth or manage a food business, a cockroach problem demands immediate, professional attention to protect health, hygiene, and your reputation.

How to Spot the Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Not sure if you have a cockroach problem? Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Droppings: Small, black specks resembling coffee grounds or black pepper, often found in cupboards, drawers, or on surfaces where they frequent.
- Smear Marks: Brown, irregular marks on horizontal surfaces and along wall-floor junctions, especially in damp areas.
- Unpleasant Odour: A strong, musty, and oily smell that can permeate the air, particularly noticeable in enclosed areas.
- Shed Skins and Egg Casings (Oothecae): As cockroaches grow, they shed their skins. You might also find their small, capsule-shaped egg cases, which indicate active breeding.
- Live Sightings: Seeing live cockroaches, especially during the day, suggests a significant infestation, as they are primarily nocturnal. If you see one, there are likely many more hidden away.

01822 668338Our Expert Approach to Cockroach Eradication
Getting rid of cockroaches effectively requires more than just DIY sprays. Our professional cockroach control service begins with a thorough site survey of your Dartmouth property to identify the specific species, the extent of the infestation, and key harborage points. Based on our 20 years of experience, we then develop a tailored Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. This typically involves:
- Targeted Insecticide Treatment: Applying professional-grade gel baits and residual insecticides to cracks, crevices, and other hidden areas where cockroaches live and breed. These products are far more potent and precise than anything available over the counter.
- Monitoring: Using specialised traps to track cockroach activity and assess the effectiveness of our treatment.
- Proofing Advice: Providing clear, actionable advice on how to seal entry points and eliminate food and water sources to prevent future infestations.
- Follow-Up Visits: Scheduling follow-up treatments to ensure all life stages, including newly hatched cockroaches, are eradicated, guaranteeing a comprehensive solution.
