LIFE OF A COCKROACH: WHY PREVENTION MATTERS

Cockroaches might be tiny, but their impact is huge – and once they’re in your kitchen, they’re hard to remove. Here’s what happens if you don’t act:

  1. Egg Stage
  • 10-50 eggs per case, hatching in weeks
  • One egg can cause a new generation to invade
  1. Nymph Stage
  • Small, light-coloured, and fast-growing
  • Reach adulthood in 1-6 months depending on conditions
  1. Adult Stage
  • Reproduce rapidly, spread bacteria, and carry allergens.
  • Can survive months without food making infestations tough to eliminate

LIFE OF A COCKROACH

Cockroaches pose serious risks to health and hygiene, and once an infestation takes hold, it can be both costly and time-consuming to eliminate.

Pro Tip: Regular deep cleaning and professional pest control stop infestations before they start.

IS YOUR KITCHEN EXTRACTION SYSTEM DUE
FOR A DEEP CLEAN?

Checklist:

5 Signs Your Extraction System Needs Professional Cleaning

Running a safe, hygienic kitchen starts with a clean extraction system.

Ask yourself:

  1. Visible grease buildup in ducts, filters, or canopies?
  2. Lingering cooking smells after service?
  3. Strange noises like rattling, buzzing, or grinding?
  4. Weakened airflow, making your kitchen hotter or stuffy?
  5. Increased fire risk from accumulated grease?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, it’s time for a professional clean.

Why it matters: Regular deep cleaning keeps your kitchen safe, hygienic, and compliant with health and fire regulations.
