Report a cockroach problem

We offer a free pest control service for cockroach problems inside a residential property.

For problems outside a property (e.g. garden, shed, detached garage), we recommend using an accredited, professional pest controller who is CRRU or wildlife aware accredited.

For pest controllers near you visit the British Pest Control Association - Find a Pest Controller.

Identifying a cockroach

Cockroaches are quite large insects and dark brown or black in colour. They are 20-24mm long with long whip-like antennae.

German cockroaches, sometimes known as the Steam Fly, are yellowish brown in colour with two dark marks on their thorax. The adults are 10-15mm long, also with whip-like antennae.

Why are cockroaches considered a pest?

Cockroaches are considered a public health pest, as they can carry disease causing bacteria on their bodies.
