Cockroaches

Cockroaches in Yorkshire can be found in homes and commercial food premises and provide serious health issues as they can spread a large number of diseases by contaminating food with certain bacterial diseases that result in food poisoning, dysentery or diarrhoea.

Yorkshire Cockroaches are nocturnal insects and avoid daylight by hiding in cracks, under floorboards or behind cookers and cupboards which makes them difficult to detect.

Possible signs of a cockroach problem in Yorkshire:
• Seeing live insects
• Egg cases and cast skins
• Droppings
• An unpleasant and musty smell
• Damage to leather and books

MJ Backhouse’s Yorkshire cockroach control technicians will use their expertise to perform a full inspection and risk assessment of the infested property before identifying the most suitable solution.

Initial treatment will involve using an insecticide gel or spray which provide an actual food source for the pests. A second treatment is then carried out 7 – 10 days later and more subsequent visits may be required to ensure full eradication. All MJ Backhouse technicians are fully-trained to use the gel and spray safely and without risk of harm to the environment.

MJ Backhouse’s cockroach control in Yorkshire specialists will also offer practical advice on proofing homes and businesses which will help prevent any future cockroach infestations
