Cockroach pest control service

Cockroaches are known for spreading bacteria and contaminating food. They thrive in warm, damp spaces like kitchens, basements, and boiler rooms. Fast-moving and often seen at night, their presence is usually a sign of a larger infestation. Immediate treatment is essential.

Tired of spraying for roaches?

Cockroaches

Is there a powder that kills cockroaches?

Yes, boric acid and some insecticidal dusts can kill cockroaches, but they must be used carefully, especially around children and pets. The safest option is to let Pestpatrol handle this as part of our professional pest control services in London, so the powder goes in the right places and the risk to your household is kept low.

Does roach killer gel work?

Cockroach gel bait can work, but only if roaches choose to eat it and it is placed where they are most active. On its own it often leaves part of the population untouched. Pestpatrol uses gels alongside other targeted treatments as part of our pest control services in London to give a better chance of clearing the infestation.

What about an electric roach killer?

Most electronic cockroach repellents have little real effect on an established infestation. They may not reach insects hiding in cracks, behind units or inside walls. If you are seeing cockroaches regularly, it is far more effective to book Pestpatrols pest control services in London so we can inspect, treat the source and help stop them coming back.

Our way. The right way.

Investigate

We start with a careful inspection of your home to confirm cockroach activity, identify the species and find where they are hiding and travelling, especially in warm, humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Protect

Your Pestpatrol technician will apply targeted cockroach treatments in the right places, using professional gels, sprays or dusts in cracks, crevices and other harbourages to tackle the infestation safely and effectively.

Fortify

We help keep roaches out by pointing out gaps, cracks and other entry points and advising on sealing, repairs and housekeeping so your home is less attractive to cockroaches in future.

Keep watch

We will explain what signs of cockroach activity to look for, such as droppings, egg cases or smear marks, and ask you to contact Pestpatrol if you notice anything new between visits so we can review or adjust the treatment if needed.

Report

After each visit you receive a clear written report explaining what we found, what we have done and any recommendations to help keep your home free from cockroaches.

Follow up

Cockroach control often needs more than one visit. We schedule follow up appointments where required and stay in touch between treatments to help make sure your cockroach problem is fully brought under control.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best powder to kill cockroaches?

Boric acid and some professional insecticidal dusts can be very effective against cockroaches, but only if they are applied in the right places and used safely around children and pets. It is usually best to let Pestpatrol include these products as part of our pest control services in London so the infestation is treated properly at the source.

How much is pest control for roaches?

The cost of cockroach pest control depends on the size of your property, how widespread the infestation is and how many visits are needed. Pestpatrol offers clear, tailored quotes, so the easiest way to find out the price is to contact us for an inspection and no obligation quotation in London.

How often should pest control be done for roaches?

Cockroach control often needs more than one visit, especially if the infestation is heavy or has spread to several rooms. Your Pestpatrol technician will recommend a treatment schedule for your home and advise on steps like sealing gaps and improving hygiene to help keep roaches out between visits.

Is exterminator roach spray effective?

Professional roach sprays can work well on visible cockroaches and treated surfaces, but they are most effective when used together with baits and gels that target hidden nests. Pestpatrol uses sprays as part of a planned cockroach programme within our pest control services in London to give you a longer lasting result, not just a quick knockdown.
