If you are seeing cockroaches in Brisbane, you are far from alone. They are the most common pest in Brisbane homes, and the warm, damp climate lets them breed through most of the year. Whether it is a few large ones wandering in from the garden or a steady stream of small ones in the kitchen, a cockroach treatment targets the places they live and breed.
When you call, we ask what size the cockroaches are, where you see them and at what time of day. Small light-brown cockroaches seen in daylight usually mean a German cockroach problem inside the kitchen, which calls for baits and targeted treatment in tight spots. Large reddish-brown ones at night are more often American or Australian cockroaches coming in from drains, gardens and roof spaces.
- Bait placed in cupboard hinges, drawer runners and appliance gaps
- Treatment behind the fridge, stove and dishwasher
- Attention to drains, floor wastes and weep holes
- Roof space and subfloor treatment for the larger outdoor types
- Tips on food storage, bins and pet food to cut down their supply
To get ready, empty the cupboards under the sink, clear the benchtops and store food in sealed containers. Try not to wipe down or spray over the baits after the visit, as cockroaches need to find and feed on them. Egg cases can hatch for a few weeks after treatment, so some small cockroaches may still appear.
Apartments and units in Brisbane often share cockroaches through walls, ducts and bin rooms, and the crew will tell you if the source seems to be outside your home. For heavy German cockroach numbers, a second visit may be needed, and we price that upfront. Call 07 3543 7771 to book a cockroach treatment.
