Cockroach Control in Croydon: what we see locally
German cockroaches thrive in warm, food-rich places, and Croydon has plenty: the restaurants of South End's restaurant quarter, takeaways along London Road and Brigstock Road, and the kitchens of large blocks of flats. They spread through heating pipes and service ducts into neighbouring homes.
We also find Oriental cockroaches in damp basements and drains in older buildings, particularly in the Victorian parts of the borough. We identify the species and treat accordingly, and can coordinate treatment with neighbours in blocks of flats.
Where we find cockroaches in Croydon
- Restaurants in South End: South Croydon's restaurant strip has many busy kitchens.
- Takeaways on London Road: Warm kitchens and food waste attract cockroaches.

Keeping cockroaches out of Croydon homes
Fix leaks, clean behind and under kitchen appliances and don't leave food or dishes out overnight. Seal gaps around pipes. In blocks of flats, report cockroaches to your landlord so neighbouring flats can be treated too.
