Cockroaches are becoming far more common within more urban areas, attending call-outs to exterminate cockroaches throughout the UK is now routine for Eliminate’s Technicians. Cockroaches are a nuisance and health risk in a wide variety of industrial and domestic settings throughout the UK.

There are two common types of cockroaches that reside in the UK. These are Oriental cockroaches (Blatta Orientalis) and German cockroaches (Blattella Germanica).

The German cockroach is the more commonly found one of the two and can be found worldwide. These pests can be found in almost every human-occupied space but they tend to be increased in numbers where there are restaurants, hotels and other food facilities.

The oriental cockroach is also commonly referred to as a waterbug or black beetle and is the larger of the two species. You tend to find them near sewers, and other damp areas. Despite its name, t is believed they originate from Africa.

Cockroaches can carry harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E-Coli which they can transfer to a human host. Both of these bacteria can cause food poisoning and be dangerous to a human that consumes infected food. Cockroaches can also be an asthma trigger.

They can be invasive and enter your home in search of warmth, food and water. They can enter through just about any gap in your houses such as air vents, under the doors and windows. It is advisable not to handle a cockroach as it can trigger an allergic reaction.

Discretion is something we strive for with all customers as we realise insects of this nature are highly upsetting causing high levels of distress to our customers.
