Cockroaches are a common sight in Pacific Pines, especially in the warmer months. Large American and Australian cockroaches wander in from gardens, drains and roof spaces, while smaller German cockroaches breed inside kitchens, around dishwashers and behind fridges. The kind of cockroach changes the treatment, so we ask what you are seeing when you call and pass it on to the crew.
We book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit. The crew looks at where the cockroaches are hiding, where they are getting in and what is drawing them, such as crumbs, water or clutter. In units and townhouses, cockroaches can move between homes through shared walls and pipes, so it helps to mention if neighbours have them too. A cockroach visit can include:
- Gel baiting in kitchen cupboards, hinges and behind appliances
- Treatment of the roof space and subfloor where the crew can reach
- Treatment around drains, weep holes and the outside walls
- Dusting of wall voids and gaps around pipes
- A check of the garage, laundry and bin area
- Advice on cleaning, storage and sealing gaps
German cockroaches can take more than one visit, because eggs hatch after the first treatment. The crew will tell you what to expect and whether a second visit is likely, and the price of any extra visit is given upfront. Keep benches clear, fix dripping taps and avoid spraying over baits while they are working. Most households notice far fewer cockroaches within a couple of weeks.
To book cockroach control in Pacific Pines, call 07 3543 7769. Tell us which rooms are affected and roughly how many you are seeing, and we will give you upfront pricing and book a local team. If you also have ants, the crew can deal with both on the same visit.
