Understanding the Cockroach Problem: Why Prompt Action Matters
Cockroaches are more than just a nuisance; they are a public health pest. They can carry bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, potentially spreading diseases and triggering allergies or asthma. What’s more, they breed incredibly quickly, meaning a small problem can escalate into a major infestation in a very short space of time. While DIY sprays might seem like a quick fix, they rarely get to the root of the problem and can often scatter the infestation, making it harder to control. Protecting your home and the health of your family, or maintaining hygiene standards for your business, demands a professional approach.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs: Is Your Torquay Home or Business Infested?
Cockroaches are often nocturnal, meaning you might not see them out in the open during the day. However, there are several tell-tale signs that indicate their presence:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pepper-like specks or cylindrical pellets, often found in cupboards, drawers, or behind appliances.
- Smear Marks: Dark, irregular marks on horizontal surfaces or wall-floor junctions, indicating where cockroaches have been active.
- Odour: A musty, unpleasant smell that can become quite strong in severe infestations.
- Egg Cases (Oothecae): Small, brown, oval-shaped capsules that can contain many eggs.
- Shed Skins: As cockroaches grow, they shed their outer casings.
- Live Sightings: Seeing actual cockroaches, especially at night or when you turn on a light, is a definite sign.
If you suspect you have a problem, don't hesitate to call us for expert advice.
