Professional Ashton-in-Makerfield Cockroach Control

What are cockroaches?
Cockroaches are relatively large, hardy insects with two pairs of wings and long segmented antennae. There are over 4,000 species worldwide, of which four species are found as non-native pests in the UK. These are:

- German cockroach (Blattella germanica)
- Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis)
- American cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
- Brown-banded cockroach (Supella longipalpa)

The German cockroach and the oriental cockroach are the most common targets of Ashton-in-Makerfield cockroach control.

Cockroach habits
Cockroaches are omnivorous and will feed on anything from faecal matter to human and pet food. They are active at night and spend daylight hours hiding in crevices, particularly in kitchen areas. They secrete pheromones in their droppings, which attract other cockroaches. In ideal conditions, they can keep growing rapidly in numbers unless a complete Ashton-in-Makerfield cockroach control is performed.

The life cycle of cockroaches consists of:

- Eggs (laid in an egg capsule)
- Several nymph stages
- An adult cockroach

All life stages of the cockroach need to be targeted by an effective cockroach treatment to ensure that the entire problem is eliminated.

Health problems
Cockroaches don't only spoil food by nibbling on it but can carry disease-causing microbes on their bodies as well as spread them via their droppings. So if an infestation is not dealt with by Ashton-in-Makerfield cockroach control, they can contaminate both food and food preparation areas.

Diseases cockroaches can spread:
- Dysentery
- Gastroenteritis
- Typhoid
- Polio

Cockroaches can also be the source of allergens that have been linked to allergic illnesses, including asthma and dermatitis. An effective Ashton-in-Makerfield cockroach control carried out by the professionals at Young's Pest Control will eliminate the infestation along with all the health risks.

Do you have cockroaches?
Apart from spotting live or dead insects, there are some other signs that you may have a cockroach infestation:

- Spindle-shaped droppings (but smaller than mouse droppings)
- A bad odour
- Nibbled food
