Cockroach Pest Control Services for Homes & Businesses

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.

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.

What Are Cockroaches & Why They Are Dangerous

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.

Signs You Have a Cockroach Infestation

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.

Our Professional Cockroach Control Process

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.
