Cockroach Control in Bexley

Signs of Cockroaches

Live insects when a light goes on at night, particularly around the kickboards, behind the fridge, around the boiler or under a sink. Small dark droppings like coarse pepper along the edges of cupboards. Shed skins and empty egg cases in cracks. In a heavy infestation, a musty smell that does not clean away.

German cockroaches are the small tan ones that stay indoors, breed fast and cluster near heat. Oriental cockroaches are larger, darker and more often come in from drains, basements and yards. They behave differently enough that identifying which you have changes where the treatment goes.

Why Flats Are Different

In a block of flats, cockroaches use the risers, duct work and pipe boxing that run between properties. Treating one flat while the flat above or below is untreated moves the problem along rather than ending it, and the tenant who paid for the treatment gets the blame when it comes back.

So if you are in a converted or purpose-built block we will say when the managing agent needs to be brought in. That is not a way of avoiding the job - it is the difference between a treatment that holds and one that buys you six weeks.
