Why You Need Professional Cockroach Control
Cockroaches aren’t just unpleasant to see — they pose real hygiene risks. They spread bacteria, contaminate food surfaces, and thrive in warm, hidden areas like kitchens, boiler cupboards and behind appliances. In both homes and commercial premises, a cockroach infestation can quickly get out of hand if not treated correctly.
DIY sprays and shop-bought traps often only deal with what you can see. They rarely reach the nesting areas or eggs, which means the problem returns weeks later. Cockroaches are highly resilient and can survive in conditions most pests can’t.
At Strathclyde Pest Control, we provide targeted, professional cockroach treatments tailored to the layout and use of your property. Ben, our lead technician, carries out inspections himself, identifying the species involved, locating harbourage areas and applying treatments safely and discreetly to fully break the breeding cycle.

Survey & Identification
Ben (our lead technician) carries out a targeted survey to confirm it’s wasps (not bees), locate the active entry point(s) and the nest position (loft, wall void, soffit, shed, etc.). He’ll assess access and safety before any treatment is started and explain the plan clearly.
Safe, Targeted Treatment
We apply a professional-grade treatment (dust or liquid, depending on the site) that reaches deep into the nest and targets the queen and workers. Ben uses the right applicators for height/void work and keeps treatments safe for families and pets.
Results & Revisit Window
Most nests are neutralised within 24–48 hours as returning workers carry the treatment inside. If there’s unusual access or a secondary nest, we’ll arrange a revisit and take care of it promptly.
Advice & Proofing
We’ll point out entry gaps (soffit vents, lifted tiles, gaps behind cladding) and suggest simple proofing, plus seasonal tips (bin hygiene, fallen fruit, covering sweet drinks outdoors) to reduce activity next year.
We’re a small, family-run pest control company that understands the realities of dealing with cockroaches in both homes and businesses across Glasgow and East Kilbride.
Ben carries out inspections personally, ensuring consistent service, honest advice and treatments that actually work. We use professional products applied safely and only where needed, focusing on long-term results rather than quick fixes.
Our approach is discreet, thorough and backed by clear guidance to help prevent the problem coming back.

If you suspect cockroaches in your home or business, don’t let the problem grow unnoticed. Early action saves time, stress and repeat treatments.
