Where Cockroaches Turn Up in Bexley
Trade units along the Erith riverside
Erith's riverside warehousing gives cockroaches food storage areas and plant rooms to shelter in year-round, and a single infested unit will usually push out along a shared service duct before the neighbouring premises even know there's a problem.
Warm pipework in Bexleyheath's flats
Bexleyheath's blocks of flats route hot pipework behind kitchen and bathroom walls right through the building, so clearing cockroaches from one flat rarely lasts while that same run is still active two doors down.
Signs to Look For
- Cockroaches seen at night in kitchens or bathrooms, especially around pipework
- A musty, oily smell in cupboards or behind appliances
- Small dark droppings resembling coffee grounds or pepper
- Shed skins or small egg cases in cracks and crevices
- Smear marks along regularly used routes near warmth and water
Coordinating Treatment Across a Building
If cockroaches are coming from a shared pipe run or service duct, we'll say so — it changes how many units need treating at once.
