I found a Cockroache in my bedroom last night. It was on the wall above the door. Never found any in my bedroom before. Not sure if it's come from the bathroom as I am really bad at remembering to keep plugs in sinks. I hate cockroaches with a passion. I don't like using sprays so I am going to look for something later in the Chinese shop. Is there a product anyone can recommend? TIA
Yes I can highly recommend a non chemical cockroach killer..................
Two very hard belts with a shoe.
First one to stun the horrible thing & the second one to flatten it !!
And do not be fooled when they flip onto their backs & play dead because they are not....hence the second belt.

I did whack it with a shoe. Then I crushed it to make sure it was dead. Yuk. I heard you shouldn't really do this as it releases the eggs. However, I wasn't going to leave it alone while I went downstairs to look for a spray.

Call Paco +34 616 906 064 he fumigates the whole house and it lasts all year. You open all your doors and cupboards and you have to stay out the house for 24 hours. He will do it again for free if it fails within 12 months. You can’t smell or see anything afterwards. Cost me 80€, well worth it as I hate the critters more than I dislike chemicals! Good luck

there was a whole thread on cockies on the costa blanca forum last year including facts to help you beat them . it might be worth a search.

I agree with the comments from Margo. Get the experts in. If you have seen one, I can guarantee you there are many, many more around! I moved from Euro Roda a few years ago due to cockroaches and now live on Roda Golf where they spend a lot of money fumigating etc and NO COCKROACHES - bliss! Hope you get the problem sorted soon as I feel for you.
