Cockroach removal in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Cockroaches
Typically nocturnal, cockroaches will spend most of the day hidden from sight in a dark, warm crevice close to a food source- typically in the kitchen. Notorious for being difficult to kill, they are very unpleasant and distressing to see scurrying around when a light is turned on. They can transmit pathogenic bacteria so tolerating even low numbers of these insects is not recommended.
How to get rid of cockroaches
As mentioned, cockroaches are hardy insects, even rumoured to be able to survive a nuclear disaster! Eradicating cockroaches can be tricky as you need to be thorough and utilise several different methods at the same time. Finding and treating the harbourage is the most important step; having an expert pest controller do this is usually the best way to ensure a complete survey is conducted and all likely areas are treated.
At Lightning Pest Specialists, we employ a three-pronged approach to eliminate cockroaches Once the harbourage is located, we will treat with a residual spray formulation which will not only kill the adults but also provide further protection for several weeks. The chemicals we use also have an Insect Growth Inhibitor which will pause the cockroach’s development at whatever stage it is in to prevent them from reproducing.
Following this treatment, we will also use bait formulations that and deploy sticky traps which will help you see quick results.
Cockroaches can be very upsetting for customers, but we will always be discreet in our work and do everything we can to alleviate your stress. Call us now to get your pest removal underway.
