Treating cockroaches in a family home means thinking about toddlers, pets and anyone with breathing problems. We explain what goes where, and why, before any bait is placed.
Young children, pets and people with asthma change how treatment is done, not whether it is. We tell you what product is used and where it goes before work starts. Gel baits are placed in cracks and behind units, out of reach, rather than sprayed across open floors. We ask you to keep children and pets away from treated areas until we say, and to mention health conditions when you book so the technician can plan around them.
Todmorden's stone terraces and former mills mean shared walls and pipes between homes, and canal and riverside property brings damp spots that we check too. There are no call-out charges, and the technicians are fully insured and trained. The final cost depends on the house and the number of visits, and the quote is free. Ask us anything about the products before work starts.
We cannot give a blanket assurance, so we talk it through case by case. Usually bait is placed out of reach and the baby's feeding equipment is kept covered or away from treated areas. Tell us when booking and follow the product label and technician's instructions.
Pets should be kept away from treated areas until told they can return, and fish tanks and small-animal cages should be covered or moved before work begins. Tell the technician about any animals so that bait is placed where they cannot get at it.

Read the advice →Cockroaches are more than a nuisance. They contaminate food, can aggravate allergies and asthma, and in a business they can lead to serious trouble. Here is what to look for and why it matters.
Read the advice →Cockroaches need warmth, moisture, food and shelter. Take away enough of those and they struggle to settle. These steps suit both family kitchens and busy commercial ones.
Read the advice →Household products can help with a very small, new problem, but cockroaches have a way of beating them. Here is how to judge where you stand and how to pick someone good if you call in help.
