Cockroaches are more than just a nuisance—they can affect your family and pets by carrying serious diseases like Salmonella. Not only this, but they’re renowned for their resilience and can thrive wherever food, warmth, and moisture are available.
If you see cockroaches during the day, it can indicate a severe infestation. If this is the case, it’s time to call on pest control for cockroaches to eradicate the problem before it develops. Our effective pest control treatment for cockroaches targets infestations at their source, keeping your home or business safe, hygienic, and cockroach-free.

Get ready to contact a professional cockroach exterminator like Defender Pest Control Specialists if you spot any of these signs in your home or workplace.
Inspection: Our cockroach control begins with an inspection that looks for signs like droppings, egg cases, and nesting sites. Our experts will look at common areas like kitchens and bathrooms, before creating a targeted treatment plan.
Treatment: Once treatment is ready to get underway, we’ll use a spray to treat the affected areas—along with a bait if required. This promises to effectively eradicate the cockroach problem, all whilst causing no harm to buildings, people, or pets.
Inspection: Just like native cockroach breeds, effective German cockroach control all starts with a detailed inspection. Our expert team will create a targeted treatment plan, looking for signs like droppings, egg cases, and nesting sites in common areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Treatment: We conduct a two-part treatment when dealing with German cockroaches. The first step is a spray & bait, followed by a bait application 7-10 days later.
Ongoing Prevention: Once complete, you can enjoy a 3 month warranty to ensure that you’re protected—and we’ll return if the activity persists during this time. The final part of the process will see our experts contact you 6 months after treatment to advise on retreatment to maintain control.
