Hi all

I have recently seen a few cockroaches in our house. We have prib killed about 10 in last few weeks. Does that mean we need to get in the pros. We have sprayed and have baits down.

Thanks

There seems to be a lot of cockroaches about just now and more than previous years. I've lived in this apartment in Benidorm for 7 years and suddenly for the first time I've had 3 of the blighters in the last 10 days !!!

There isn't many solutions but some swear by the plugins that give out a certain frequency to scare them off.....

Our community has the drains sprayed twice a year by pest control specifically to deter cockroaches. We've not had a cockroach in our house but a distant neighbour reported having one for the first time in 16 years recently. As others have said a very wet winter/ spring followed by a warm May/ June has meant a shed load of insects.
