Where Cockroaches Turn Up in Camden
Takeaways around Camden Town
Camden Town's market and high street food trade produces the constant warmth and waste cockroaches need, and once a kitchen's infested, the next unit along the service duct is often not far behind.
Warm risers in King's Cross flats
King's Cross's blocks of flats run kitchen and bathroom pipework through a shared riser, and a sighting in one flat is reason enough to ask the managing agent whether others in the block have reported the same.
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
