What's Involved in Cockroach Control
Step 1 — Survey. We identify the species, likely harbourage points and how far the infestation has spread — commonly around drains, kitchens and warm equipment.
Step 2 — Treatment. Professional gel bait and residual treatment is applied to harbourage points and activity areas, targeting the source rather than just visible cockroaches.
Step 3 — Follow-up. A follow-up visit is often recommended to confirm activity has stopped, particularly for established infestations.
Step 4 — Prevention advice. We'll advise on sealing gaps around pipework and drains, and basic hygiene steps to reduce the chance of reinfestation.
