Expert Cockroach Control Throughout Norfolk, Norwich & Beyond
Dangers Of A Cockroach Infestation
Like many insect pests, including bed bugs, ants, and fleas cockroaches are highly destructive despite their small size. Cockroaches spread diseases, including salmonellosis, E. coli, dysentery, gastroenteritis and others.
Their droppings and shed skins can contaminate food and cause a musty, disgusting smell in your space. For allergy or asthma sufferers, cockroaches can cause respiratory issues, making them a significant public health issue, especially in commercial premises.
Whether you need domestic or commercial pest control, Acorn Pest Management can carry out expert cockroach treatments to keep these famously resistant insects at bay. Call 07725878712 to book your cockroach control appointment and work towards a pest-free environment.

Professional Cockroach Control For Any Species
There are more than 4500 cockroach species in the world, but since most prefer tropical climates, only a handful are found in the UK. The most common cockroach species in the UK are German cockroaches and Oriental cockroaches, but you may also notice brown banded cockroaches or American cockroaches.
Whatever species you’re dealing with, it’s important that you act fast. As soon as you notice cockroaches, cockroach droppings or a musty smell, you need professional pest control services. Cockroaches reproduce incredibly quickly, and the cockroach life cycle passes very quickly. Cockroach eggs hatch, become nymphs and then adult cockroaches in as little as 2-3 months, so what starts as a few sightings can quickly become a complete cockroach infestation.
If you’re dealing with a cockroach problem in your home or business premises, then you need Acorn Pest Management. Our local staff cover Norfolk, Norwich, King’s Lynn, Dereham and the surrounding area, so contact us today to get rid of cockroaches for good.
Cockroach Control FAQs
Why Do Cockroaches Come Inside?
Like most pests, cockroaches enter your home in search of food and shelter. For cockroaches, this means moist, damp areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements or areas where leaks have occurred.
Can Cockroaches Fly?
Most cockroach species found in the UK, including German and Oriental cockroaches, have wings but cannot fly well. In tropical climates, some cockroaches can fly or glide for short distances, but they are not as adept at flying as moths, wasps and other flying insects.
Is It Dangerous To Squash Cockroaches?
Squashing cockroaches in your home can lead to the release of bacteria, such as E. coli or Salmonella, into the air. Pathogens and bacteria from squashed cockroaches can also be dangerous for asthma sufferers. As such, it’s better to avoid squashing cockroaches and book professional cockroach control from Acorn Pest Management instead.
Do Cockroaches Bite Humans?
Cockroaches can bite human flesh, but this is rare and only usually when there are large infestations or when food sources are scarce. If cockroaches do bite humans, it’s usually when they’re asleep and on their extremities, such as fingers or toes, where they may nibble on dead skin.
What Is The Best Way To Get Rid Of Cockroaches?
The most effective method of controlling cockroaches is to work with experienced pest control providers like Acorn Pest Management. Our RSPH Level 2 certified staff have access to cockroach traps and insecticides that aren’t available to the general public. As such, they can quickly eradicate your cockroach problem in one treatment.
