Why Cockroaches are a Serious Threat to Your Saltash Property
Cockroaches aren't just a nuisance; they're a public health pest. They carry and spread a range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including Salmonella and E.coli, which can contaminate food preparation surfaces, utensils, and stored food. For businesses, especially those in hospitality or food service, a cockroach infestation can lead to serious reputational damage, failed health inspections, and even closures. In your home, they can exacerbate allergies and asthma, particularly in children. Ignoring a cockroach problem simply isn't an option – it’s a direct threat to health and hygiene.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs: Do You Have a Cockroach Problem?
Cockroaches are nocturnal, so you might not see them scuttling around during the day. However, they leave behind clear indicators of their presence. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often described as looking like coffee grounds or black pepper, are a common sign. You'll find them in cupboards, drawers, along skirting boards, or inside appliances.
- Smear Marks: On horizontal surfaces or walls, you might see dark, irregular smear marks, especially in damp areas.
- Unusual Odour: A distinct, musty, and often unpleasant odour can indicate a large infestation.
- Shed Skins and Egg Cases: As cockroaches grow, they shed their skins. You might also find empty or full egg cases (oothecae) which are small, dark, oblong capsules.
- Live Cockroaches: If you do spot a live cockroach, particularly during the day, it usually means the infestation is significant. They prefer warm, dark, and humid places like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.

01822 668338Our Proven Approach to Eradicating Cockroaches
Getting rid of cockroaches effectively requires more than just a spray can. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians employ a comprehensive and strategic approach:
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a meticulous site survey to identify the species of cockroach, pinpoint harborage points, assess the extent of the infestation, and locate entry points.
- Targeted Treatment: We use professional-grade insecticides and baits that are far more effective and targeted than DIY products. These treatments are applied precisely to areas where cockroaches hide and breed, ensuring all life stages, from eggs to adults, are targeted.
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Our approach goes beyond just chemical application. We'll advise you on crucial proofing measures, such as sealing cracks and crevices, improving sanitation, and removing food and water sources to prevent future infestations.
- Follow-up Visits: Depending on the severity, follow-up visits are often necessary to ensure complete eradication and break the breeding cycle. We’ll schedule these to ensure the problem is fully resolved.
