Cockroach infestations rarely start in plain sight – However this video captured by our team at Central Pest Control shows a real infestation discovered during a professional inspection with cockroaches actually walking along the skirting boards.
Although not spoken about enough, cockroaches are a common pest across Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare, particularly in both domestic properties and commercial environments such as restaurants, hotels and healthcare facilities.
Why Cockroach Infestations Are Hard to Detect
Cockroaches are nocturnal pests that thrive in warm, dark, hidden spaces. They are commonly found in:
- Wall cavities and structural voids
- Behind skirting boards and fixtures
- Cracked plaster, brickwork and timber
- Kitchens, bathrooms and service areas
If cockroaches are seen during daylight hours, it is often a sign that the infestation is already well established.
The Health & Business Risks of Cockroaches
Cockroach infestations pose serious health and hygiene risks. They can:
- Spread bacteria and harmful pathogens
- Trigger asthma and allergic reactions
- Contaminate food preparation areas
- Damage business reputations, especially in hospitality
For restaurants, cafés, hotels and healthcare settings, cockroach activity can result in failed inspections, closures and loss of customer trust.

- Offices & retail units
- Healthcare & medical environments

Domestic Cockroach Control for Homes & Rentals
Cockroaches are increasingly common in homes, apartments and rental properties. DIY sprays often fail to reach nesting sites, allowing infestations to return.
Our domestic cockroach treatments are:
- Targeted and effective
- Safe for families and pets when applied correctly
- Focused on long-term prevention
Why DIY Cockroach Treatments Don’t Work
Off-the-shelf products typically kill visible cockroaches but leave:
- Egg cases untouched
- Hidden harbourage areas active
- Populations breeding behind walls
Professional pest control targets the source of the infestation, not just the symptoms.
