Cockroaches are the pest we hear about most in Brisbane. German cockroaches breed in kitchens and behind fridges, while the big American cockroaches come up from drains, gardens and subfloors, especially after summer storms. Both are hard to shift with supermarket sprays because most of them stay out of sight during the day.
When you call, we ask where you are seeing them, what size they are and whether you live in a house or unit. That helps us give you upfront pricing and book a crew with the right approach. The crew we book then targets the places cockroaches shelter, not just the spots where you saw one run across the floor.
- Gel bait placed in hinges, cracks and behind appliances
- Spray treatment around skirting boards, drains and wet areas
- Dusting of wall voids and the roof space where needed
- Outside treatment of eaves, pipes and garden edges
- Advice on food, rubbish and leaks that draw cockroaches in
In apartment blocks, cockroaches often move between units through shared walls and service ducts. If neighbours have the same problem, it can help to ask the building about treating the building at the same time. The crew can talk you through what makes sense for your block.
Expect to see more cockroaches for a few days as they come out and meet the bait, then numbers should drop off. Keep benches clean and avoid spraying over the gel. Fixing dripping taps and sealing gaps around pipes under the sink also takes away the water and shelter they need. If they come back after a few weeks, call us and we can talk through the next step.
