£190 flat, £240 house, follow-ups included. Send a photograph before you book — a fair share of what gets reported turns out to be a beetle.
£190 for a flat and £240 for a house, covering the complete programme including the follow-up visits the egg-case cycle requires.
Send a photograph first. Identification is free, and ground beetles from a garden get mistaken for cockroaches constantly.

Cockroaches need warmth, moisture and food, which every kitchen has. They arrive in packaging, in a second-hand appliance, or through a failed drain. A spotless kitchen is as vulnerable as any other to a box arriving with something in it — worth saying plainly, because tenants are routinely told otherwise.
Typically three to four weeks across the visits.
Clean, yes. Do not deep-clean the harbourage areas immediately before we come — we need to see where they are.
Often not. Send a photograph and we will tell you before you book anything.

Very possibly. Ground beetles and other harmless beetles are mistaken for cockroaches constantly. Send a photograph — identification is free.
Egg cases are hard capsules that treatment does not penetrate. They hatch days or weeks later, so the treatment has to still be active when they do.
They are carried in — cardboard packaging including moving boxes, a second-hand appliance, second-hand furniture, luggage, or a previous occupant's infestation.
Yes. Cockroaches live and lay in corrugated cardboard, and second-hand moving boxes are a genuine route in. Break boxes down and remove them the day you unpack.
German are smaller, light brown, prefer warm kitchens and are carried in. Oriental are larger and very dark, prefer cool damp places, and often point to a drain.
No. They need warmth, moisture and food, which every kitchen has. A spotless kitchen is as vulnerable to a box arriving with something in it.
Yes, and there is nothing to pay.
Send a photograph before you book. Identification is free and it is frequently something harmless.
