Cockroach Control

Our buildings are ideal for cockroaches because they provide food, water, warmth and shelter. In fact, it would be unusual if you haven’t had a problem with the prolific German Cockroach requiring some sort of cockroach control.

If you see the German Cockroach during the day or in areas where there is no food available, such as bedrooms, then it follows that you may indeed have an enormous population living somewhere in your Sydney residence or business.

To get in touch with us, simply call 131 546 and our friendly staff will take your details.

How our cockroach control treats cockroaches…

Inspect

We will carry out a survey and report our findings.

Bait

We will apply special bait which is licensed and formulated for Cockroach control. This is very safe for you and your children and pets. The bait is applied to out of reach places for your added peace of mind.

Dust

We may apply dust to your roof void, subfloor and in your wall cavities.

Surface Spray

We may apply a special surface spray which is licensed and formulated for Cockroach control. This is applied to the perimeter of your home or building.

Signs of Cockroach Activity Include:

Droppings

Cockroach droppings resemble pepper and larger droppings of around 2mm can have ridges along their sides and have blunt ends

Casts

Cockroaches cast off their outer body or skeleton during their life and you may notice these in various areas around your home or building.

Spoilt Food

Cockroaches will eat food that has not been properly stored and vomit back onto the food.

What you can do with our flea help and advice

Sanitation

You can reduce food and water available to Cockroaches. Even small pockets of moisture can keep Cockroaches nearby as they can go without food for over a month. One way you can help is to avoid keeping rubbish indoors overnight.

Proofing

We can advise you on ways you can help to proof your home against Cockroach entry. This may include simple measures such as fixing mesh over holes to prevent Cockroach entry and to seal cracks and crevices.

Stock

Ensure regular stock rotation and also inspect incoming food stock.

Storage

Ensure food is stored above the ground and clear of walls.

Garbage

Ensure your garbage is kept secure and locked.

Cockroaches can…

Spread disease by transporting bacteria and organisms from sewers and other unsanitary sources to food and food handling surfaces and utensils.

Seriously harm the reputation of a business. The appearance of Cockroaches in the public areas of a business can cause a huge loss of goodwill. Even your staff can find the presence of Cockroaches quite repulsive.

Contaminate food with their droppings, their dead casts (outer skeleton) discarded Cockroach egg cases even dead Cockroaches and vomit marks.

Cause unpleasant odours due to secretions from their mouths and outer shell. These are particularly severe when large populations are present.
