Cockroach Control in Milton Keynes (German & Oriental)
Roaches don’t mess about—and neither do we. If you’re seeing German cockroaches in warm kitchens or Oriental cockroaches near drains and bin stores, our Milton Keynes team delivers fast, discreet, professional cockroach treatment that actually clears the infestation and keeps it that way.
Common Cockroach Problems in Milton Keynes
- German cockroaches (Blattella germanica) — thrive in warm, humid kitchens; spread fast in flats and HMOs.
- Oriental cockroaches (Blatta orientalis) — often linked to drains, gullies and damp ground-floor areas.
- Tell-tale signs: pepper-like droppings, oothecae (egg cases), musty odour, nocturnal sightings on walls and kickboards.
Our Treatment Plan (What Works, Not Wishful Thinking)
- Survey & identification: confirm species, map hotspots (kickboards, pipe/cable chases, appliances, risers, drains).
- Targeted gel baiting & crack-and-crevice dusting; IGRs where appropriate to break life cycles.
- Monitoring & trend reporting: labelled monitors, revisit schedule until activity hits zero.
- Proofing & hygiene fixes: seal gaps, adjust kickboards, tidy moisture sources, drain checks where needed.
- Documentation: site plan, product/COSHH info, monitor map—HACCP-ready for commercial kitchens.
Home & Business—We Cover Both
- Residential: flats, HMOs, houses—safe placements around children and pets.

Preparation Checklist (Quick & Easy)

FAQs
Do we need to close the kitchen?
Usually no. We use targeted gels/dusts in non-food-contact areas. If short re-entry times apply, we’ll tell you clearly.
How long until it’s clear?
Light German roach issues can trend to zero within weeks; heavier or multi-unit sites take longer. We monitor and adjust until clear.
Are treatments safe around kids and pets?
Yes—placements are controlled and out of reach. We’ll give any site-specific guidance before we leave.
Why do roaches keep coming back?
Missed harbourage, untreated neighbours/risers, or unchecked drain sources. Our plan includes proofing, hygiene tweaks and, if needed, drain checks.
Can you provide paperwork for EHO/HACCP?
Absolutely—visit reports, bait/monitor maps, COSHH sheets and trend graphs are included.
