Cockroaches

There are several species of cockroach in the United Kingdom and these insects can cause the most damage to your reputation and business in the form of loss of trade, fines and the threat of temporary closures.

Cockroaches spread diseases such as Salmonella and should be treated for at the earliest opportunity before the infestation grows.

Guardian technicians have the experience needed to remove these nocturnal pests from your premises giving you the peace of mind that your home or livelihood remains a bug free zone.

Below are examples of the two most commonly found members of the cockroach family that are found in this country although we can treat for all species.

German cockroaches (Blatella germanica) prefer high temperatures and humidities so hot kitchens in the food trade can provide a perfect habituation for them. Adults are on average 15mm long, are light brown and can easily run up walls or even smooth tiles in kitchens due to the sticky pads on their feet.

The German cockroach produces more eggs and has more generations per year than any other cockroach so heavy infestations can build up quickly. Call Guardian Pest Solutions to deal with these troublesome pests at the first sign of trouble and don’t let them cause damage to the reputation of your business.

The Oriental or common cockroach (Blatta orientalis) cannot climb up smooth surfaces and prefers to live in moist areas with cooler temperatures. They commonly reside in basements and boiler houses, but can also be found outdoors on rubbish tips. Adults can grow up to 30mm in length, twice the size of the German cockroach, and are dark reddish brown in color.

These insect pests can be found in homes or businesses so don’t let them bug you and call Guardian pest solutions for a free quote today.
