Top tips
Hiring a pest control, without the regret.
Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.
Poor Hygiene
Leaving even small crumbs or grease smears provides an alternative food source, making the insecticidal bait less attractive.
Neighbouring Infestations
In terraced houses or flats, cockroaches can travel through shared pipework; if your neighbour has an infestation, your treatment may only be a temporary fix.
Premature Cleaning
Mopping or bleaching the areas treated with residual spray immediately after the visit will wash away the insecticide and render the treatment useless.
Clutter
Excessive cardboard boxes and paper provide perfect "harbourage" and nesting material for cockroaches.
Costs & timeline
