Resolving a persistent cockroach infestation
- Cockroach
- Oxfordshire
We were contacted by Mr Johnson, a homeowner on the border of Oxfordshire, regarding a persistent cockroach infestation in his kitchen. Despite his attempts to address the issue with over-the-counter sprays and traps, the infestation worsened over time, causing significant distress and discomfort for the family.


Assessment and Analysis:
Upon arrival, David conducted a thorough inspection of the property to assess the extent of the cockroach infestation and to identify any potential entry points and harbourage areas. He observed high levels of cockroach activity in the kitchen, particularly around food sources and moisture-rich areas such as sinks and appliances.
Solution implemented:
To address the cockroach infestation effectively, we devised a multi-step approach tailored to the Johnson home:
1. Identification and targeted treatment – David identified the species of cockroach infesting the property (German cockroaches) and implemented targeted treatment methods specifically designed to eradicate this resilient pest.
2. Sanitation recommendations – David provided Mr Johnson with suggestions for improving sanitation practices in his kitchen and bathroom to eliminate food and water sources that attracted cockroaches.
3. Crack and crevice treatment – David applied cockroach gel bait into cracks, crevices and other hiding spots frequented by cockroaches, ensuring thorough coverage and long-lasting control.
4. Follow-up inspections – David scheduled follow-up inspections to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and to make any necessary adjustments to ensure complete eradication of the infestation.


Outcome:


Following our intervention, Mr Johnson’s home was free from cockroaches, providing him with relief and peace of mind. By addressing the root cause of the infestation and implementing targeted treatment methods, we were able to achieve long-term control and prevent future outbreaks.
