How do I know they are German cockroaches?

They are small, about 12 to 15 millimetres, light brown, with two dark stripes running down behind the head. If you are seeing small roaches in the kitchen or bathroom, especially during the day, they are almost certainly German.

How long until they are gone?

Expect a sharp drop in the first week. Because eggs keep hatching, a full clear-out usually takes two to four weeks and includes a follow-up visit to re-bait.

What does the 6-month warranty cover?

If German cockroaches return to the treated areas inside six months, we come back and re-treat at no charge. Conditions apply, including following the aftercare advice, and are set out in our Terms & Conditions.

Why should I stop using surface spray?

Spray repels cockroaches away from the bait and contaminates it, so they stop feeding on it. Leave the bait spots alone and let them do the work.

German Cockroach Treatment

German cockroaches are the small, light-brown ones that live in the kitchen, and they are the hardest cockroach to clear. They breed faster than any other species, hide inside appliances and hinges, and shrug off most supermarket sprays. This is one of our specialties: we bait the harbourage, break the breeding cycle with a growth regulator, come back to follow up, and back the result with a 6-month warranty*.
