Cockroach Control in Southwark: what we see locally
Borough Market, Bermondsey Street, Rye Lane, Lordship Lane and Walworth Road are lined with restaurants, cafés, takeaways and food shops, giving German cockroaches warm kitchens to live in. They spread through ducts and walls into flats above.
Southwark's large estates share heating pipes and rubbish chutes that help cockroaches move between homes, and older buildings with basements can have Oriental cockroaches. We identify the species and treat accordingly, coordinating with neighbours where needed.

- Restaurants around Borough Market: Busy kitchens attract German cockroaches.
