Cockroach Control in Islington: what we see locally
Upper Street, Exmouth Market, Holloway Road and Caledonian Road are lined with restaurants, bars and takeaways, giving German cockroaches warm kitchens to live in. They spread through ducts and walls into flats above and alongside.
We also treat cockroaches in Islington's estates, where shared heating and rubbish chutes help them move between homes, and Oriental cockroaches in the damp basements of Georgian houses. We identify the species and treat accordingly.
Where we find cockroaches in Islington
- Restaurants on Upper Street: Busy kitchens attract German cockroaches.
- Estate blocks in Holloway and Finsbury: Shared heating pipes let cockroaches spread.

Cockroach Control in Islington: your questions
How much does cockroach control cost in Islington?
Cockroach control in Islington 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.
Do you treat cockroaches in Upper Street restaurants?
Yes. We treat restaurants, bars and takeaways across Islington outside service hours, using gel baits and products suitable for food premises, and we provide a written report for your records.
Why do cockroaches keep coming back to my flat?
In Islington's estates and converted houses, cockroaches move between flats through heating pipes and service ducts. If neighbouring homes aren't treated, they come back. We can treat several flats at once for the best result.
