Sharing a kitchen or bathroom with a cockroach is more than just unpleasant - it’s a genuine health risk.

This guide explains how to get rid of cockroaches step by step: how to identify the species, understand what attracts them, apply effective control methods, and maintain a cleaner, safer environment. You’ll see how a proactive pest control strategy, combined with professional cockroach control from EcoCare PestControl Management, can help you get rid of cockroaches long term and protect your property, staff, customers and family.

Left unchecked, ants contaminate food, undermine customer confidence and damage your reputation.
This guide explains how to identify different ant species, why they’re attracted to your home or workplace, and how to get rid of them using smart prevention, targeted deterrents and thorough eradication.

Finding a bat in your attic or hearing scratching behind the walls is enough to unsettle any household. When a single bat becomes a bat colony, the problem quickly escalates: bat droppings build up, odours spread through the house, and there’s a potential histoplasmosis risk from dried bat guano. Knowing how to get rid of bats safely, legally and humanely is vital, because bats are a protected species and careless roost destruction can lead to prosecution.
EcoCare PestControl Management helps London and Surrey property owners get rid of bats using a thorough inspection and targeted bat control plan. This guide explains how to identify a bat infestation, understand why bats choose your attic or roof space, and what you can do to stop them returning. It sets up the next stage: deterrents, bat exclusion methods and long-term maintenance, supported by BPCA-certified wildlife professionals.

Lace bugs can turn azalea, olive or sycamore plants into tired, patchy specimens surprisingly quickly. If you’re trying to get rid of them, you’ve probably noticed speckled leaves, thinning foliage and plants that seem to struggle no matter how much you water and feed.

Effective lace bug control starts with accurate identification, then moves through prevention, deterrents, treatment and long-term maintenance. Here you’ll learn how to get rid of lace bugs safely while protecting your garden and local wildlife. When infestations keep returning, EcoCare PestControl Management provides rapid, BPCA-certified lace bug pest control across London and Surrey with 24/7 response, DBS-checked technicians and an eco-conscious, guaranteed service.
