£240 for the whole programme. Cockroaches in a house are less common than in a flat — and when they happen, the source is usually identifiable.
The complete programme: inspection, species identification, gel bait and residual treatment at the harbourage, follow-up visits, and monitoring to confirm it has worked.
It is not per visit. Cockroach work takes three to four weeks because of the egg-case cycle, and the price covers however many visits that needs.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Visit 1 | Full inspection — kitchen, appliances, plinth voids, bathroom, boiler, utility. Species identified. Gel bait and residual treatment placed. |
| Visit 2 | Activity assessed. Bait checked and replenished. Placement adjusted to where activity actually is. |
| Further visits | Repeated through the egg-case cycle until activity ceases. Typically three to four weeks. |
| Final | Monitoring to confirm, and advice on the conditions that let them establish. |
Cockroaches are far more common in flats than houses, and a house infestation usually has a traceable origin.
Because a house is usually a contained problem, it is also usually a cleaner job — one property, one source, one programme.

View Cockroach Control Edgware →Cockroaches survive weeks without food and only days without water. In a house, removing the water is often easier than removing the food.
Yes. It is the house price.
No, and anyone selling you one visit is selling you a fortnight of improvement.
Almost never. It needs cleaning behind and treating around.
Wasps in a soffit are a much simpler job — £90 fixed cost in Edgware, guaranteed.
The complete programme — inspection, species identification, gel bait and residual treatment, follow-up visits, and monitoring.
No. It is the whole job, typically three to four weeks because of the egg-case cycle.
Most often on cardboard packaging, in a second-hand appliance, in luggage, or from an adjoining property in a terrace.
Behind and under the fridge first, then the cooker, appliance motor housings, the plinth void, under the sink, the boiler and airing cupboards, the utility room and the garage.
Cockroaches survive weeks without food but only days without water. Fixing leaks is often the easier lever in a house.
Clear the cupboards we ask about, remove cardboard entirely, seal food, fix any leak, and do not deep-clean the harbourage first.
In a terrace, shared pipework and party walls are a route, and a shared problem treated on one side moves back. Tell us.
Yes. Gel bait goes into cracks, hinges and voids, never on worktops or where food is stored.
£240 covers the programme. Get the cardboard out and fix any leak before we come.
