Common Cockroaches in the UK & Signs of an Infestation

Not sure which cockroach you have? Learn how to identify common UK cockroaches and spot the signs that mean it’s time to book professional pest control.

German cockroaches – Small, light brown cockroaches with two dark stripes. They prefer warm, humid areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards and spaces behind fridges or ovens.
Oriental cockroaches – Larger, dark brown or black cockroaches. They favour cool, damp areas such as drains, basements, boiler rooms and pipework.
Live cockroaches – Spotting cockroaches, especially repeatedly at night, is one of the clearest signs of an active infestation.
Cockroach droppings – Small dark droppings may appear inside cupboards, around appliances, along skirting boards and in other hidden areas.
Cockroach egg cases – Finding ootheca, or cockroach egg cases, can indicate that cockroaches are breeding inside the property.
Shed cockroach skins – Small shed skins can be left behind as cockroaches grow and develop.
Unusual cockroach odour – A strong, unpleasant smell can develop when a larger cockroach infestation becomes established.

FAQ Cockroach Pest Control

How much does cockroach pest control cost in London?

Cockroach pest control in London costs around £130–£320, depending on the infestation, property size, cockroach species and number of visits required. Get a tailored quote after an inspection so you know what treatment your property needs.

How quickly can a cockroach exterminator come to my property?

If you need urgent help, same-day and emergency cockroach pest control may be available. Availability depends on your London location and appointment capacity. Contact us to check the earliest available exterminator.

Can you get rid of cockroaches completely?

Professional cockroach treatment can significantly reduce and eliminate an infestation when the correct treatment programme is followed. Established infestations may need follow-up visits because cockroaches hide in inaccessible areas and eggs can remain protected from initial treatment.

What is the most effective cockroach treatment?

The right treatment depends on the infestation. A professional exterminator will inspect the property before selecting the most suitable method. Gel bait is commonly used for cockroach control, while other treatments may be used where necessary.

Will one cockroach mean I have an infestation?

Not necessarily, but one sighting should not be ignored. Cockroaches often hide during the day, so repeated sightings, droppings, egg cases or shed skins can indicate an active infestation. If you are unsure, book a professional cockroach inspection in London.

What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?

Common signs include live cockroaches, cockroach droppings, egg cases, shed skins, smear marks, unusual odours and activity around kitchens, cupboards, appliances and plumbing. Spotting these signs is a good reason to arrange professional cockroach pest control.

Do cockroach treatments include follow-up visits?

Yes, we offer up to 3 follow ups included in a 4-month guaranteed cover treatment. Follow-up visits depend on the infestation and treatment plan. Larger or established infestations may require additional visits to monitor activity and treat remaining cockroaches.

Is cockroach pest control safe for children and pets?

Safety depends on the treatment product and how it is applied. Your pest technician will provide any required preparation and re-entry instructions. Always follow the technician's instructions and the product label before returning to treated areas.

Do I need to leave my home during cockroach treatment?

This depends on the treatment used. If an insecticide requires temporary evacuation, your technician will tell you how long you need to stay out and when it is safe to return. Preparation and re-entry requirements should be confirmed before treatment.

What if cockroaches keep coming back after treatment?

Recurring activity may mean that further treatment or monitoring is required. If cockroaches are noticed during your guarantee or cover period, contact us so the property can be reassessed and further action taken where included in your treatment plan.

Can you provide emergency cockroach pest control in London?

Yes. Emergency cockroach exterminator services are available for urgent infestations, subject to technician availability. Same-day appointments can be particularly useful when cockroaches are appearing repeatedly or spreading through your property.

Do you treat commercial cockroach infestations?

Yes. Professional commercial cockroach control can be arranged for restaurants, hotels, offices, shops, rental properties and other businesses. Commercial infestations require careful treatment to minimise disruption and protect hygiene standards.
