Cockroaches are among the toughest and most unhealthy pests you can find in a home or business. By the time you spot one, they have often already settled in, multiplied and found places to hide. At Bodrum Natural Pest we know that a cockroach problem is not only unpleasant but also a real health risk, and we deal with it using professional methods.
Cockroaches live where people are: kitchens, restaurants, hotels, shops, storerooms and bathrooms are where we find them most often. Bodrum’s warm, humid climate keeps them active all year, so cockroach control here needs regular checks and professional treatment.
Why cockroaches are dangerous
Cockroaches carry micro-organisms on their bodies and in their droppings, and they can spread illnesses such as:
- salmonella
- dysentery
- typhoid
- gastrointestinal infections
Their droppings, body fragments and secretions can also trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. They are a particular risk for children, older people and anyone with a weakened immune system, so getting rid of them is a health matter, not just a question of comfort.
Signs of an infestation and where they hide
Cockroaches like places that are dark, damp and close to food. Keep a close eye on:
- under sinks and around drains
- behind ovens, fridges and dishwashers
- bins and waste storage areas
- sewer connections
- broken tiles and gaps in walls
- cardboard boxes and piles of packaging
They hide during the day and come out at night. Not seeing any cockroaches in the daytime does not mean they are not there.
How we treat it
Amateur treatments with sprays and aerosols only kill the cockroaches you can see. Their eggs and hidden colonies are untouched, which is why professional treatment is essential. Our methods include:
- gel treatment
- odourless professional liquid products
- targeted applications in cracks and tight spaces
- follow-up and check visits
- safe, Ministry of Health approved products
Our treatments are safe for pets and children and are designed to give a lasting result.
Prevention tips
These habits help cockroaches multiply and settle in, so avoid them:
- leaving food and leftovers uncovered
- leaving dirty dishes overnight
- damp areas and standing water
- full or open bins
- bringing shopping packaging into the house without checking it
- poor hygiene in general
Cleaning reduces the problem, but it cannot solve it on its own, because cockroaches hide inside walls, cable ducts and appliances.
