£240 for the whole programme. In a house the source is usually identifiable — and finding it is what stops it happening twice.
The complete programme: inspection, species identification, gel bait and residual treatment at the harbourage, follow-up visits, and monitoring to confirm.
It is not per visit. Cockroach work takes three to four weeks because of the egg-case cycle, and the price covers however many visits that needs.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Visit 1 | Full inspection — kitchen, appliances, plinth voids, utility, boiler, garage. Species identified. Gel bait and residual treatment placed. |
| Visit 2 | Activity assessed. Bait checked and replenished. Placement adjusted. |
| Further visits | Repeated through the egg-case cycle until activity ceases. Typically three to four weeks. |
| Final | Monitoring to confirm, and advice on the conditions that allowed it. |
This is the part that is easier in a house than a flat, and it is worth doing properly.
In a flat the answer is often 'the building'. In a house it is usually a specific event, and knowing it means it does not happen again.

View Cockroach Control Stanmore →Cockroaches survive weeks without food and only days without water. In a house, removing the water is often easier than removing the food.
£240 is the house price whatever the size. Cockroaches concentrate in a small number of warm, moist places, so a larger property does not mean a proportionally larger job — it means a few more places to check, and that is included.
Yes. It is the house price.
No, and anyone selling you one visit is selling you a fortnight of improvement.
Almost never. It needs cleaning behind and treating around.
Wasps in a soffit are a much simpler job — £90 fixed cost in Stanmore, guaranteed for 30 days.
The complete programme — inspection, species identification, gel bait and residual treatment, follow-up visits, and monitoring.
No. It is the whole job, typically three to four weeks because of the egg-case cycle.
By working backwards from the first sighting — deliveries, a second-hand appliance, travel, contractors — and from where the heaviest concentration is.
Behind and under the fridge first, then the cooker, appliance motor housings, the plinth void, under the sink, the boiler and airing cupboards, the utility and the garage.
Cockroaches survive weeks without food but only days without water. Fixing leaks is often the easier lever.
Clear the cupboards we ask about, remove cardboard from house and garage, seal food, fix any leak, and do not deep-clean the harbourage first.
No. Cockroaches concentrate in a small number of warm moist places, so a larger property just means a few more places to check.
Yes. Gel bait goes into cracks, hinges and voids, never on worktops or where food is stored.
£240 covers the programme. Get the cardboard out and fix any leak before we come.
