Cockroaches have an infamous pest reputation and pose significant risks to both businesses and homeowners, particularly in food environments where they can spread diseases such as Salmonella, Dysentery and E. coli.
In addition, eczema and asthma have even been linked to cockroach droppings, skin, and saliva. Cockroaches eat most things, causing damage to items such as books, fabrics, furniture, and product packaging. In a food environment, cockroaches can cause health inspection violations, fines, and potential closure. If you have a cockroach infestation in your home or business, it’s important to seek professional help!

Cockroaches are resilient, fast-breeding pests. Attempting DIY solutions often fails to fully eradicate them because:
At Nurture, our qualified technicians employ a multi-faceted approach to eradicate a cockroach infestation, focusing on eliminating existing roaches, their eggs, and preventing future infestations.
Inspection
We search for where cockroaches live and breed, including cracks, crevices, behind appliances, under sinks, inside walls, and other dark, secluded areas with access to food and water.
Treatment
Depending on the species and size of the infestation we deploy a range of techniques including a specialist heat treatment as well as gels, insecticide sprays and fogging. We apply these treatments safely and effectively, targeting cockroach harbourages and pathways.
Ongoing monitoring & prevention
We provide follow-up visits to ensure the treatment’s effectiveness, offer guidance on sealing entry points, improving hygiene, and preventing reinfestation, and can create optional long-term pest management plans for commercial clients.

Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?
Being nocturnal, it is often easier to spot the signs of a cockroach infestation than to see the insects themselves, so if you see one there is every chance there are many more. Other signs include small, dark specks resembling coffee grounds where cockroaches frequent, larger cylindrical droppings about the size of a grain of rice. You may also notice egg casings (oothecae), shed skin and an unpleasant odour. Signs of damage to property such as cardboard, book bindings and fabric are other indicators.
Where to look for a cockroach infestation?

Do cockroach infestations require more than one treatment?
Multiple treatments will be required to fully treat a cockroach infestation depending on the property, size of infestation and environmental factors. Monitoring of the area is advised before and after a treatment so as to determine effectiveness of a treatment and ensure that all nymphs have been removed following hatching from their ootheca. Our technician will advise the treatment and number of visits recommended in every given occurrence.
