Identifying cockroaches

Lambeth is commonly affected by Oriental or German cockroaches which are:

  • 10-25 mm long
  • light, dark brown or black

Treatments for cockroaches

  • two visits, two weeks apart,
    placing gel bait under sink cabinets, around door hinges and other affected areas
  • a spray for intensive infested areas
  • an advice sheet with information about the bait used, where it was placed, and any special precautions needed
  • measures to protect children and pets
  • for more serious infestations, a third visit may be required for an additional charge (see price list)

 

Please ensure an adult is present at all times during the treatment.
