Great service. Both agents who visited our property were friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. Both seemed to genuinely care about resolving our pest problem. Only thing preventing a five star review was the small Initial problem with appointment booking, although communication after that was smooth. Would recommend.

Absolutely amazing service. Appointment was easy to book and quick. Lewis came out to remove a wasp nest and was very friendly, knowledgeable, he is very passionate about what he does and didn’t make me feel silly for asking so many questions. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much Lewis.

Countrywide Pest Control did a fantastic job of dealing with a wasp nest at my home. The operator delt with the wasp nest so quickly and efficiently. He first explained everything about the procedure, both during and after the nest was treated, even putting out my food bin for me so I wouldn't have to come out while the wasps were active still. Excellent job.

Issues Caused By Cockroaches

Cockroaches are hardy insect pests that are known to survive even major natural disasters. They can cause significant health risks and issues for homes and businesses, as they spread diseases and bacteria, including E. coli, Salmonella, Typhoid and more.

Because cockroaches transfer allergens, they can cause issues for allergy and asthma sufferers. They can also contaminate food, causing symptoms similar to food poisoning. If they’re crawling around your home, roaches can cause significant stress. While they don’t often bite humans, when they do, cockroach bites can be incredibly irritating.

As well as health risks, a cockroach infestation can lead to structural damage. Cockroaches are attracted to damp areas, and their droppings and urine can lead to further deterioration, as well as an unpleasant odour. In some cases, roaches can chew through organic materials, leading to further damage.

Thankfully, Countrywide offers expert cockroach control services to ensure that the roaches are gone for good. Call 0800 078 7255 to book effective control for your cockroach infestation.

You can explore our pest control price guide and see cost estimates before you book.

Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation

While cockroaches are relatively large insects that are easy to see, you might not notice them, especially if they avoid human habitats and stick to dark, humid environments. Look out for other signs of cockroaches, including:

• Cockroach Droppings: If you see what look like spilled coffee grounds, particularly near food sources, such as inside cupboards, then these are probably cockroach droppings, which are one of the most obvious signs of an infestation.
• Smear Marks: Cockroaches can leave greasy marks on doorways, walls, skirting boards and other surfaces throughout your property.
• Shed Skins: Translucent skin casings are an indicator that you have a cockroach infestation.
• A Bad Smell: A large cockroach infestation will produce a foul odour that won’t go away with cleaning.

DIY cockroach treatments are ineffective, so contact us to book your cockroach pest control visit as soon as you notice any of these signs of an infestation.

Expert Cockroach Pest Control From Countrywide

Cockroaches are a pest of public health significance. They help to spread disease and contaminate food stuffs, which is why we focus on preventing and removing them when providing pest control for food businesses.

In a domestic setting they cause distress to the occupants, and cause health issues for children, the elderly, asthma sufferers and others.

Businesses could face serious consequences if a cockroach infestation is found on their commercial site. Roaches are a health hazard, and you could face being shut down until the infestation is removed. Because cockroaches are an easily recognisable pest, customers may notice them and then you could get a bad reputation for uncleanliness.

These problems need to be dealt with promptly, which means identifying the type of roaches you have and then getting professional cockroach treatment. The most common species of cockroaches found in the UK are Oriental and German cockroaches, but you may also notice American cockroaches or brown-banded cockroaches. Whatever species you’re dealing with, you need professional help cockroach control.

Countrywide has extensive experience controlling cockroaches, and we can provide expert support to reduce the chances of future infestations.

Our integrated approach to cockroach control starts with a thorough inspection of the property. Once we’ve determined how many roaches there are, their species and their entry points, we can get to work removing the cockroaches and pest proofing your property.

If you’re ready to get rid of cockroaches for good, speak to a member of our fully-trained pest control experts by calling 0800 078 7255.
