Few things make a kitchen feel worse than a cockroach running across the bench at night. In Brisbane, two types cause most of the trouble. Small, light brown German cockroaches breed inside, often in the kitchen and behind appliances, and can spread through a whole unit block. Large American cockroaches live in drains, gardens and subfloors and wander in after rain.
When you call, describe the size and colour of the cockroaches and where you see them. That tells us which type you probably have, so we can give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew with the right plan. The crew we book then looks for the places they shelter during the day, such as fridge motors, dishwasher kickboards and cupboard hinges.
- Gel bait placed in the cracks and gaps where cockroaches live
- A treatment of drains, floor wastes and wet areas
- Dust in wall voids and the roof space where needed
- An outside treatment for American cockroaches around pipes and garden beds
- Tips on food, water and clutter to help the bait work
German cockroaches can take more than one visit, especially in older units where neighbours have them too. The crew will explain what to expect and whether a second visit makes sense. In a unit block, it is worth asking the building about the bin room and common areas.
After the visit, avoid spraying supermarket products over the gel, as that can stop cockroaches from eating it. Fix dripping taps and leave dishes dry overnight, because water is what keeps them going. You should see numbers fall away over the next couple of weeks.
