Residential And Commerical Cockroach Treatment
Cockroach Pest Control: Quick Overview
Cockroaches are one of the most common household pests, invading kitchens, basements, bathrooms, and food storage areas. A cockroach infestation is more than an inconvenience, it poses a serious health risk by spreading salmonella, triggering allergies, and contaminating food and surfaces. These insects thrive in damp areas, drains, and cracks, feeding on almost anything humans eat.
A1 Pest Control provides professional cockroach pest control, using safe sprays, sticky traps, bait stations, and chemical insecticides to control cockroaches effectively. Our BPCA and RSPH-certified technicians deliver fast, discreet, and proven treatments to kill cockroaches, prevent reinfestation, and protect your home or business.
How Our Cockroach Control Service Works
Our step-by-step process ensures complete cockroach extermination and long-term pest management:
Detection & Inspection
We inspect kitchens, cupboards, skirting boards, basements, and drains to identify hiding spots, crevices, and food and water sources. We determine the species, such as Blattella germanica (German cockroach) or Blatta orientalis (Oriental cockroaches), to select the most effective cockroach control methods.
Treatment & Extermination
Using an integrated approach, our professional treatment combines insecticide sprays, sticky traps, gel bait, and targeted cockroach control methods. Roaches carry bait back to nests, killing eggs, egg cases, and adults. Treatments are safe for children and pets while ensuring cockroach extermination at the source.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
We return to check for obvious signs such as droppings, shed skin, or the presence of live cockroaches. Our technicians provide prevention tips on sealing entry points, storing food, and keeping a clean environment to stop infestations returning.
Prevention & Advice
We advise on controlling cockroaches long-term by improving hygiene, fixing water sources, and sealing cracks in walls, cupboards, and skirting boards. Prevent cockroaches from reinvading with routine cleaning, safe traps, and professional pest management strategies.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Recognising the early signs of cockroaches can help prevent a larger problem:
✔ Live cockroaches or roaches scurrying at night (cockroaches are nocturnal pests)
✔ Small black droppings on surfaces, floors, or near food and water sources
✔ Brown egg cases hidden in cupboards, drains, or cracks
✔ Musty, unpleasant odour in damp areas or kitchens
✔ Shed skins or wings found near skirting boards or appliances
If you notice these, seek professional cockroach control immediately.
Why Addressing Cockroach Infestations is Crucial
Cockroach infestations are a serious pest problem, spreading salmonella, contaminating food and water sources, and putting humans and pets at risk. Cockroaches thrive in damp areas like kitchens, basements, and drains, hiding in cracks, crevices, and skirting boards. DIY sprays or traps rarely work, as cockroaches are nocturnal, breed fast, and carry hidden eggs.
A1 Pest Control offers professional cockroach pest control and extermination, using safe cockroach control methods to kill roaches, remove eggs, and prevent future infestations.

✔ Cracks, crevices, and unsealed entry points in buildings
