How to Recognise an Oriental Cockroach
Adult Oriental cockroaches are usually around 20–30 mm long, with a broad, glossy body that ranges from dark brown to black. They cannot fly.
They favour cool, damp hiding places, including sheltered ground-level areas and spaces around drainage. Their appearance can resemble other dark cockroach species, so colour alone is not enough to confirm identification.
If possible, send a clear photo and tell us whether you have noticed leaks, standing water or persistent dampness nearby.
Treatment That Considers Damp Conditions
Your technician will inspect the affected spaces and recommend targeted treatment based on the activity found. They’ll also explain whether moisture or access problems need to be addressed alongside the pest control work.
For example, a continuing leak may keep a hiding place suitable for cockroaches even after treatment. Where repairs are needed, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the issue and who may need to resolve it.
The plan may include monitoring or further visits to assess remaining activity. Your quote will explain the follow-up included.
