Cockroaches are one of the most resilient and unhygienic pests found in homes and businesses. They spread bacteria, contaminate food preparation surfaces, and can trigger asthma and allergic reactions. At Pest King, we provide targeted, professional cockroach control across Aberdeen, Dundee & Angus, Perth, and Stirling. Our NPTA registered technicians use proven treatment methods including insecticide gels, residual sprays, and monitoring to eliminate infestations at source and prevent reinfestation.

The two species most commonly encountered across our service area are the German cockroach and the Oriental cockroach. German cockroaches are the most prevalent and are typically found in warm, humid environments: commercial kitchens, restaurant back-of-house areas, takeaways, and food processing facilities. They are a particular concern in Aberdeen's city centre hospitality sector, Dundee's waterfront restaurants, and Perth's food businesses. Oriental cockroaches prefer cooler, damper conditions and are more commonly found in drains, basements, and utility areas. Both species are notifiable pests in food businesses and can result in enforcement action if found during an environmental health inspection.

Cockroach infestations in domestic properties are less common but do occur, particularly in properties with shared drainage, older plumbing, or where food waste management is poor. If you suspect cockroaches in your property, call 0333 577 3500 for a fast, discreet response.
