Cockroach Control in Kensington and Chelsea: what we see locally
The borough's restaurants, cafés and bars, from Notting Hill and Portobello Road to the King's Road, Fulham Road and Kensington High Street, give German cockroaches plenty of warm kitchens. They spread through ducts and walls into flats above and alongside.
Older buildings with deep basements and old drains also see Oriental cockroaches, which prefer cool, damp areas. In North Kensington's estates, shared heating and rubbish chutes help cockroaches move between flats. We identify the species and treat accordingly, discreetly and outside trading hours where needed.
