Cockroaches are more than just an unpleasant sight — they are serious health pests that carry bacteria like salmonella and E. coli, contaminate food preparation areas, and cause reputational and regulatory problems for businesses.
At Bite Back Pest Control, we offer specialised cockroach extermination services across Yorkshire tailored to both residential and commercial properties. Our experienced, licensed technicians deliver safe, effective, and discreet treatments that tackle the problem at the source — not just the surface.
Serving Pocklington, Selby, Beverley, Bridlington, Malton, Goole, Pickering and all of Yorkshire.
Cockroaches thrive in warm, moist environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, drains and boiler rooms. The most common species in the UK include:
German Cockroach – small, fast-breeding and often found indoors
Oriental Cockroach – larger, prefers damp basements and drains
Both species can spread disease, cause allergies, and survive harsh conditions — making professional control essential.
Look for these warning signs:
Sightings of roaches — especially at night
Small, dark droppings resembling black pepper
Unpleasant musty odour
Shed skins or egg cases in cracks and crevices
Damage to food packaging or stored items Cleankill Pest Control
Even a single sighting usually means many more are hiding nearby, as cockroaches are nocturnal and elusive.
1. Detailed Site Inspection
We conduct a thorough survey of your premises to identify:
Entry points and harbourage zones
Levels of activity and infestation spread
Environmental factors attracting pests
This lets us build a personalised control plan.
2. Targeted Treatment
Our technicians use a combination of:
Professional gel bait systems placed where cockroaches hide
Non-toxic powders and monitoring for thorough eradication
Strategic treatments that disrupt breeding cycles
Unlike DIY sprays, our methods attack the infestation at every life stage.
3. Prevention & Follow-Up
After treatment, we offer advice and follow-up visits to:
Seal entry points and reduce moisture sources
Improve sanitation practices
Monitor pest activity
This ensures cockroaches do not return.

Q: How quickly can you treat my property?
A: We aim to schedule cockroach control as soon as possible — same-day or next-day options are often available for urgent infestations.
Q: Are treatments safe for my family and pets?
A: Yes — we use safe, professional-grade products applied by trained technicians.
Q: Can I use DIY products instead?
A: "DIY sprays rarely eliminate infestations long-term because they don’t reach hidden harbourages or eggs. Professional methods are always more effective." British Pest Control Association
Q: What areas do you cover?
A: We serve homes and businesses throughout Yorkshire — contact us if you’re outside our listed areas and we’ll do our best to help.
Don’t wait until the problem gets worse. Cockroaches breed quickly, and an infestation left untreated can lead to major hygiene and legal issues — especially in food-related businesses.
