How does cockroach control work?
Our cockroach control Manchester service starts with an assessment to identify the species and the extent of the infestation. The right treatment depends on the species, so this step matters.
A BPCA-trained technician inspects the entire property, and adjoining properties where possible, using monitoring traps and looking for cast skins, egg cases and droppings. Treatment is then tailored to what we find.
Signs you have cockroaches
Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide away during the day. These are the signs our technicians look for.
Live insects at night
Mostly seen at night, near sinks, cookers and fridges.
Droppings
Small dark droppings in cupboards and along surfaces.
Egg cases
Cases left behind in cracks and crevices.
Cast skins
Shed skins near the places they are hiding.
A tainted smell
Food can take on a smell from faeces, dead insects and their secretions.
Know your cockroach
Cockroaches can be found in any building, commercial or residential. They often arrive in laundry, packaging, raw materials or second-hand furniture, or come in through the drains.
Cockroach control is part of our full pest control Manchester service, so the same team can deal with any other pests you find.

Cockroach Control Manchester FAQs
Are cockroaches dangerous?
They can carry and spread diseases such as gastroenteritis and dysentery, contaminate food, and their droppings can cause allergic reactions, especially in people with asthma.
How did I get cockroaches?
Usually they are carried in as live insects or eggs in laundry, packaging, raw materials or second-hand furniture. They can also come in through the drains.
Why does the species matter?
Treatment is tailored to the species. Common cockroaches stay near the ground, while German cockroaches climb walls and can spread to upper rooms and neighbouring properties.
Can I treat cockroaches myself?
It is best not to. Sprays and baits need to be matched to the species and used safely, and the whole property has to be treated to stop them coming back.
How much does cockroach control cost in Manchester?
It depends on the size of the property and how established the problem is. Call 0161 210 2536 for a quote. Commercial work is quoted after a survey.
