Warning signs
Signs you need cockroach control
Noticed any of these? The sooner it's treated, the easier it is to get under control.
Droppings
Small dark specks, like ground pepper, in drawers, cupboards and along skirting boards.
Egg cases
Brown, capsule-shaped cases tucked into corners, hinges and behind appliances.
A musty smell
A lingering oily odour in kitchens and pantries as numbers build up.
Daytime sightings
Seeing cockroaches in daylight can mean hiding spots are already crowded.
Our approach
How we handle it
Inspect
We check kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, appliances and subfloor areas to find where they're harbouring.
Identify
German cockroaches indoors and larger outdoor species need different treatment, so we confirm which you have.
Treat
We apply targeted treatment to the harbourage areas and entry points we've found.
Prevent
You get practical advice on food storage, moisture and sealing gaps to stop them returning.
Prevention
Keep them from coming back
- Store food in sealed containers and don't leave pet food out overnight.
- Fix dripping taps and leaks under sinks, as cockroaches need water.
- Clean behind the fridge, oven and dishwasher regularly.
- Seal gaps around pipes, cabinets and skirting boards.
Questions
Why do I keep seeing cockroaches after cleaning?
Cleaning removes food, but cockroaches hide in wall voids, appliances and cabinetry. Treating those harbourage areas is what reduces the population.
Do you treat businesses such as cafés and shops?
Yes. We service commercial properties as well as homes. Call us to discuss your site.
What should I do before a cockroach treatment?
We'll tell you what to prepare when you book, usually clearing benches and cupboards in the areas being treated.
