Cockroach treatment pricing depends heavily on species and severity - here’s a real breakdown of what to expect.

Standard Domestic Treatment

Our price: £190 for a flat, £240 for a house

Covers inspection, species identification, and targeted gel baiting along known activity routes. Many light-to-moderate German cockroach infestations resolve within a single visit when caught early.

Why Some Jobs Need a Follow-Up

Because German cockroaches breed quickly and generations overlap, an established infestation may need a second visit within the guarantee period to catch newly hatched roaches that weren’t present during the first treatment - this is standard, not a sign the first visit failed.

Oriental Cockroach Treatment

The price is the same as for German cockroaches, but where an underlying damp issue is contributing (a common factor with Oriental cockroaches), addressing that separately - fixing a leak, improving drainage - may be recommended alongside pest treatment, which is typically a separate cost from the pest control visit itself.

Commercial and Food Premises Treatment

Typically quoted individually, often as an ongoing contract

Restaurants, cafés, and other food businesses usually need a tailored, recurring treatment plan rather than a one-off visit, partly to stay compliant with food hygiene requirements. See our guide on cockroaches in restaurants and food premises for more detail on what this typically involves.

What Changes the Price

  • Species: German cockroaches sometimes need a faster follow-up due to breeding speed; Oriental cockroaches sometimes need accompanying damp-related work
  • Severity: an infestation confined to one cupboard costs less to treat than one spread across a kitchen and adjoining rooms
  • Property type: commercial kitchens typically require more thorough, documented treatment than a domestic kitchen
  • Access: harder-to-reach harbourage sites (behind built-in appliances, inside cavity walls) can add time to treatment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is one visit really enough for most cockroach problems?

For a light, early-caught German cockroach infestation, often yes. More established infestations, or ones involving Oriental cockroaches with a damp component, are more likely to need a follow-up.

Do commercial premises pay significantly more than domestic customers?

Typically, yes - commercial treatment often needs to be ongoing and documented for compliance purposes, which is priced differently from a one-off domestic visit.

Will cleaning my kitchen thoroughly reduce the treatment cost?

It won't change the quoted price, but it does support the bait working faster by removing competing food sources, which can reduce the likelihood of needing a follow-up visit.

Is it worth trying shop-bought gel bait before booking a professional?

Shop-bought bait can help with very light, early activity, but professional-grade bait combined with correct placement typically resolves infestations faster and more completely, especially once an infestation is established.
