Cockroaches

Cockroaches are closely associated with the human environment and have become pests worldwide. Cockroaches are attracted to buildings where there is food, moisture and, in colder climates, warmth. They feed on a wide range of human foods and also organic materials such as cardboard, glue, faeces, dead animals and fellow cockroaches. They can pick up diseases from the filth in their surroundings and readily transmit them onto food and surfaces.

A professional service is usually the most reliable means of cockroach control. Only professional products and solutions are powerful enough to eliminate all stages of their lifecycle.
