Seеing even one cockroach, either an adult or a baby, means there are many more. Don`t feel relief just because you`ve only seen one and killed it. There will be more to come!
Seеng a dead cockroach also means you are threatened of an infestation. If you don`t have one yet, soon there will be many more.
Seeing faecal matter from cockroaches is also a definitive sign.
Egg shells from the baby cockroaches in your home mean an infestation as well.
One not so definitive sign can be an unpleasant and unexplained smell, however, not many people can sense it.
They can be hiding in your pantry, in drains, in the basement or attic, or the laundry room. These should be the first places to check if you want to look for cockroaches yourself. For a severe cockroach infestation, you can book a heat treatment for a pest-free property
The cockroach exterminator will arrive fully equipped and ready for work by making a full inspection of your property. This way he`ll be able to determine the exact level of infestation and all the areas that would be treated.
The pest controller will start the treatment by applying bait gel in the affected areas. This includes rooms like the kitchen, bathroom, places like cupboards and similar where the insects come to seek food and shelter. The pesky intruders will die after they eat the bait the exterminator has left for them.
*Note that these baits are different from the ones we use for our rodents control services.
Areas within your property in London which are hard to reach will be sprayed with a special insecticide that will clear the rest of the pests left. Such insecticide is used only for extremely severe cockroach infestations.

4. The Oriental cockroaches are very fond of warm surroundings, which is exactly why they tend to live in heating ducts, drains and waste pipes.
5. Researchers from the University Of California , Barkeley`s Department Of Integrative Biology have developed a prototype of a robot roach. The device is able to squeeze, curl and do all sorts of other things a cockroach body can. This robotic bug will be used to look for missing persons under earthquake ruins.
