Cockroach Control
in Tenerife
ROESB-Certified Extermination — 24hr Response — 12-Month Guarantee
Professional cockroach treatment for homes, apartments, restaurants and hotels across South Tenerife. Our ROESB-licensed team (#0583-CAC-S02) eliminates both German and American cockroaches using targeted professional-grade treatments that stop infestations at source — not just on the surface.
Why Cockroaches in Tenerife Are So Difficult to Eliminate
Tenerife's warm climate means cockroach populations are active year-round — there is no winter die-off that homeowners in northern Europe rely on. A single female German cockroach can produce up to 300 offspring in her lifetime, and colonies typically hide in drainage systems, behind appliances, inside wall cavities, and under floor tiles where supermarket sprays cannot reach.
DIY treatments kill visible insects on contact but leave eggs, nymphs, and the queen unaffected. The infestation rebounds within days. Professional treatment with ROESB-approved insecticides works differently — gel bait is picked up by worker cockroaches and carried back to the harbourage, poisoning the colony from within.
🪳 German Cockroach (Blattella germanica)
The most common species in kitchens and restaurants. Small (10–15mm), fast-breeding, and resistant to many common insecticides. Found behind fridges, dishwashers, inside electrical panels, and in drainage channels. A colony of hundreds can establish in weeks.
🪲 American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
Larger (35–40mm) and more commonly found in drains, sewage systems, and the ground floor of older buildings. Often enters from outside via drainage connections. Less prolific but harder to exclude without drain treatments and physical proofing.
Our Cockroach Treatment Process
A thorough, professional approach that targets the colony — not just the cockroaches you can see.
Inspection & Identification
We identify the species, locate harbourage zones, and assess the extent of the infestation before any product is applied. This determines the right treatment approach and ensures we don't miss hidden activity points.
Targeted Gel Bait Application
Professional-grade gel bait is placed in precise locations at harbourage points — behind appliances, under sink units, inside drainage areas, and along skirting lines. Worker cockroaches consume the bait and carry it back to the colony, eliminating it at source over 48–72 hours.
Residual Spray Treatment
ROESB-approved residual insecticide is applied to perimeter areas, entry points, and high-traffic surfaces where cockroaches travel. This creates a contact-kill barrier that catches any remaining individuals moving between harbourage zones.
Drainage & Entry Treatment
For American cockroach activity, we treat drain access points with appropriate formulations and advise on mechanical proofing to prevent external re-entry. This step is essential for ground-floor and basement properties.
Certificate & Follow-Up
A digital treatment certificate is issued showing products used, areas treated, and the guarantee period. A follow-up is scheduled within the guarantee window. If cockroaches return during the covered period, we return at no cost.

Holiday apartments, private villas, and permanent residences. Most residential treatments can be completed while you remain at home. Products are ROESB-certified and safe around children and pets once dry. Same-day response available across South Tenerife.
🍽️ Restaurants & Bars
Commercial kitchens in Tenerife are our most common call-out. We provide APPCC-compliant treatment with full documentation for Sanidad inspections. Treatments can be scheduled outside opening hours to avoid disruption to your service.

Offices, community buildings, and supermarkets. We offer annual contracts with scheduled quarterly visits, emergency priority access, and full documentation — ideal for community presidents and property management companies.
Do I need to leave my property during treatment?
For most residential cockroach treatments, no. You can remain at home while treatment is carried out. For commercial kitchens, we recommend treatment is performed outside kitchen operating hours — typically early morning or after evening service. Any specific requirements will be explained clearly before we arrive.
