Why Cockroaches Are A Serious Problem

Discover the main issues associated with cockroaches that can disrupt your home, business and pose risks to your health.

Health Risk: Cockroaches are resilient pests that pose significant health risks. They are carriers of intestinal diseases such dysentery, diarrhea, cholera and typhoid.
Food Poisoning They can contaminate food, surfaces, and utensils causing diseases such as salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus.
Allergies and Asthma Triggers:These nocturnal insects can trigger allergies and asthma attacks, particularly in individuals with respiratory conditions.
Foul Odours: Cockroaches emit a bad smell, which can permeate your living space and create an unpleasant and unsanitary environment.
Infestations: Cockroaches reproduce rapidly, leading to infestations that can quickly spread throughout your home, particularly in warm and moist areas.

How We Manage and Control Cockroaches

Due to their secretive nature, cockroaches can be challenging to eliminate without professional intervention, as they can hide in cracks, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Thorough Inspection: Our skilled technicians conduct a detailed assessment to identify the extent of the infestation and determine the most effective treatment approach.
Targeted Treatment: We employ a combination of insecticides, baits, and growth regulators to eliminate cockroaches at various life stages, targeting their hiding places and breeding grounds.
Residual Sprays: We apply long-lasting residual sprays to key areas to ensure ongoing control and prevent future infestations.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Our approach combines chemical treatments with non-chemical methods, such as exclusion techniques and sanitation practices, to achieve long-term cockroach control.
Follow-up Monitoring: We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the effectiveness of our treatments and provide guidance on prevention strategies to minimise the risk of re-infestation.

How to Prevent Cockroaches

Keep your kitchen and dining areas clean
Wipe up spills and crumbs
Storing food in airtight containers
Seal cracks and gaps in walls, floors, and around pipes
Repair leaks, use dehumidifiers, and ensure proper ventilation
Dispose of rubbish in sealed bin bags
Vacuum regularly

We contacted this firm in the morning and they attended around lunchtime, very fast response and resolved our wasp problem within no time at all. Extremely professional and amazing service taking in all measures you would expect during the lock-down due to Covid-19.

Cannot praise this firm enough as we had a really bad wasp problem and even during the lockdown they came out. Very fast response and kept a safe distance at all times. Wonderful service well done!!

Helpful people to speak to on the phone. Prompt and efficient service, wasp nest dealt with no fuss and almost immediate result. Very competitive price for a full professional service with back up guaranteed for peace of mind. Everyone i dealt with including Chris who came out to the house was friendly and helpful. Very glad that i chose this company, would highly recommend them.

We have a regular contract with Independent Pest Control for our HMO's and have always found them, reliable, trustworthy and value for money. Recently we required urgent emergency support and IPC team members demonstrated just how they go above and beyond caring for their customers and wider community. We would highly recommend Independent Pest Control

I really can't thank Ian and his team enough. I use a wide range of companies on an almost daily basis, very few of whom come close to the levels of service I experienced from Independent Pest Control. From start to finish their technician Craig showed great knowledge and professionalism in dealing with the problem. This morning was the final visit and the property is now totally free from rodents. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending IPC. Thank you once again Ian.

I contacted Ian regarding a wasp nest in our roof space. The very next day we had Mark come and visit. Mark is an asset to the company providing a brilliant service; from calling ahead with an ETA, to a timely arrival with a very professional & friendly manner. Mark very clearly knows his stuff and went straight to the nest, treated it from inside and out whilst explaining to us what he was doing and what to expect next.
