How We Fix Your Cockroach Problem
Cockroaches are unpleasant, persistent and usually a sign that there is a hidden source nearby. They can squeeze into small gaps, hide behind appliances, travel through pipework and come out when the property is quiet.
At Your Pest Assassin, we start by finding where the cockroaches are active and what may be attracting them. We inspect key areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, cupboards, wall voids, food storage spaces and warm areas around appliances.
Once we understand the level of activity, we use targeted professional treatments to control the infestation and help stop it spreading. We’ll also give clear advice on cleaning, food storage, waste handling and proofing, so your home or business is less likely to suffer a repeat problem.
What’s Included:
Our cockroach pest control service includes a quick assessment, a detailed inspection, targeted treatment and practical prevention advice. Every property is different, so we tailor the approach based on the type of premises, the level of activity and where cockroaches are hiding.
1. Contact & Quick Assessment
Get in touch and tell us what you’ve seen, where you’ve seen it and how long the problem has been happening. We’ll ask a few quick questions, offer initial advice and arrange a visit where treatment is needed.
2. On Site Survey

Why Cockroaches Become a Problem
Cockroaches are drawn to warmth, moisture, food and shelter. This makes kitchens, bathrooms, food preparation areas, takeaways, restaurants, shared accommodation and commercial premises especially vulnerable.
A cockroach problem can build quickly because they hide well and often breed out of sight. You may only see one or two at first, usually at night, but there could be more activity in cracks, cupboards, wall spaces or behind equipment.
They are also a hygiene concern. Cockroaches can contaminate surfaces, food areas and stored products, which is why quick action is important, especially in businesses where reputation and hygiene standards matter.
The sooner the issue is inspected and treated, the easier it is to bring under control.
Signs of Cockroach Activity
Cockroaches are usually most active at night, so you may notice the signs before seeing them clearly. Common signs include:
- Live cockroaches seen at night, especially in kitchens or bathrooms
- Small dark droppings that look like black pepper or coffee grounds
- Egg cases in cupboards, cracks, behind appliances or near warm areas
- A musty, unpleasant smell in affected rooms or cupboards
- Smear marks around skirting boards, pipework, walls or hidden routes
- Shed skins as cockroaches grow and develop
- Damage or contamination around food packaging
- Activity near fridges, cookers, boilers, sinks, drains or waste bins
- Increased sightings after lights are switched on at night
- Recurring pest activity despite cleaning or using DIY sprays
Not sure whether it’s cockroaches or another crawling insect? Contact Your Pest Assassin and we’ll help identify the issue before recommending the right treatment.
You may see live cockroaches, droppings, egg cases, smear marks or notice a musty smell. They often hide during the day, so activity at night is a common warning sign.
Cockroaches usually hide in warm, dark and damp areas. Common places include behind fridges, cookers, kitchen units, pipework, boilers, sinks, drains, cupboards and cracks in walls or flooring.
Yes, cockroaches can contaminate food, surfaces and preparation areas. This can be a concern in homes, but it is especially serious for restaurants, takeaways, cafés and other commercial premises.
It depends on the level of infestation and the property. Some cockroach problems need more than one visit, especially if there is heavy activity, hidden harbourage or neighbouring sources.
