About Cockroaches in York
The two most common cockroach species in the UK are the German Cockroach and the Oriental Cockroach. Both species are highly resilient and reproduce quickly, making early treatment essential to prevent infestations from spreading.
German Cockroach
The German cockroach is small (10–15mm), light brown, and recognised by two dark stripes behind its head. Females carry their egg case until hatching, producing up to 30 nymphs at once. These cockroaches thrive in warm, humid environments such as kitchens, boiler rooms, and bathrooms.
Oriental Cockroach
The Oriental cockroach is larger (20–24mm), darker in colour, and slower-moving. It prefers cooler areas like basements and drains. Males have wings that cover two-thirds of their body, while females have very short wings. Each female produces 16–18 nymphs per egg capsule.
Where Cockroaches Are Found
Cockroaches are often found around heating ducts, behind fridges, under sinks, or near pipes and skirting boards. They are nocturnal, emerging after dark to search for food. Their droppings, shed skins, and unpleasant odour are telltale signs of an infestation.
Health Risks & Disease
Cockroaches contaminate food preparation areas, utensils, and stored food with harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. They are known carriers of food poisoning and other diseases, posing serious risks to hygiene and health — especially in catering, healthcare, and food production environments.
