Cockroach Control in Ealing: what we see locally
Cockroaches need warmth, moisture and food, and Ealing's busy high streets supply plenty of all three. The restaurants, takeaways and grocers along Southall Broadway, the Uxbridge Road and Acton High Street, and the flats above them, are where we find German cockroaches most often.
In residential blocks, cockroaches travel between flats through heating pipes, service ducts and rubbish chutes, so one tenant treating on their own rarely solves the problem. We use gel baits and targeted residual treatments behind appliances, under sinks and in boiler cupboards, and we'll advise on treating neighbouring flats where the infestation is shared.
Where we find cockroaches in Ealing
- Flats above shops on Southall Broadway: Warm kitchens below and shared service runs make these flats a common place for German cockroaches.
- Estate blocks in Acton and Northolt: Communal heating pipes and rubbish chutes let cockroaches move between homes.
- Restaurant and takeaway kitchens: We treat commercial kitchens in West Ealing, Ealing Broadway and Hanwell discreetly, outside opening hours if needed.
- Older homes with damp basements: Oriental cockroaches prefer cool, damp spots such as cellars and drains in older Ealing houses.
Our cockroach control service covers the whole of Ealing (W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5 and UB6), including Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale, Pitshanger, Southall and West Ealing, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping cockroaches out of Ealing homes
Cockroaches need water as much as food, so fix dripping taps and leaking pipes under sinks. Don't leave pet food or dirty dishes out overnight, and seal gaps around pipes behind the cooker and under the sink. In blocks of flats in Acton, Northolt or Southall, keep the door to the bin chute closed and report any infestation in communal areas to your managing agent so the whole block can be treated.
How we treat cockroaches
- Inspection to find harbourage points and the species present
- Targeted gel baiting and residual spray in cracks and voids
- Follow-up treatments to break the breeding cycle
- We offer free advice on proofing and prevention, and an affordable proofing service to block gaps and entry points

Cockroach Control in Ealing: your questions
How much does cockroach control cost in Ealing?
Cockroach control in Ealing costs £240 for a flat or £280 for a house, with no VAT to add. The price is fixed before we visit, with no call-out charge.
Can you treat cockroaches in an Ealing restaurant?
Yes. We treat cafés, restaurants and takeaways across Ealing and can visit early in the morning or after closing so you don't lose trade. We use discreet unmarked vans.
Why have cockroaches come back after I used shop sprays?
Shop sprays kill the cockroaches you can see but usually miss the eggs and the nymphs hidden in wall voids. Our gel baits are carried back to the nest, which is why professional treatment clears them where sprays don't.
