Cockroach Control in City of London: what we see locally
With hundreds of restaurants, pubs and sandwich shops packed into the Square Mile, the City has plenty of warm, food-rich kitchens where German cockroaches thrive. They spread through service ducts, drains and walls between neighbouring businesses.
Older buildings with basements, including Victorian warehouses and offices, can also have Oriental cockroaches, which prefer cool, damp areas around drains. We identify the species and treat accordingly, discreetly and outside trading hours where needed.
Cockroach problems in the City often cross property lines. A restaurant, a sandwich shop and the offices above may all share the same drainage and service ducts, so we can coordinate treatment with neighbouring businesses and building managers to stop cockroaches simply moving next door.
