​​​How do you know you have cockroaches?

​

Cockroaches are large, winged insects ranging from 12-30mm in length with long antennae. Most people in the UK who have an infestation are likely to have German or Oriental species of cockroach.

The Oriental cockroach is dark brown/black and ranges from 17-30mm whilst the more common German cockroach is lighter brown and smaller 12-15mm. German cockroaches are found throughout buildings but show a preference to warm humid areas. They are good climbers, being able to climb vertical glass or tiled surfaces. An infestation of these cockroaches can be quickly established once they have entered the premises. This species is an extremely serious pest in any different types of premises ranging from hospitals to domestic houses.

Where will you find cockroaches?

​

German cockroaches are more easily visible due to the areas they live in. In a kitchen you are likely to find them in cupboards, behind fridges, washing machines, under sink units and around boiler units. Another sign of an infestation are signs of faeces in cupboards, behind appliances and worktops which resemble black dots.

Oriental cockroaches are normally found in damp humid conditions and basements. This is because it lacks the sticky pads on its feet. They are more difficult to treat as they tend to live in the fabric of the building.
