Cockroaches are a year-round problem on the Sunshine Coast, and warm, humid nights make them even busier. Large outdoor types such as American and smoky brown cockroaches live in drains, mulch and roof spaces, then wander inside after dark. Small German cockroaches set up home in the kitchen and breed behind the fridge, dishwasher and oven. Either way, seeing one usually means there are more nearby. Cockroaches also leave behind droppings, egg cases and a stale, musty smell in cupboards, and they can spoil food left out on benches overnight. Treating early, before numbers build up over summer, is usually simpler than waiting until the whole kitchen is affected.
When you call, we ask where you see them, how big they are and whether they turn up during the day. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book works out which cockroach you have, then treats the places they hide, feed and get in, rather than just the spots where you see them.
- Gel bait placed in cracks, cupboard hinges and behind appliances
- Dust applied in wall voids, roof spaces and subfloors where needed
- Spray around the base of the home, doors, windows and weep holes
- Drains, pits and electricity boxes checked and treated
- A plain run-down of what was used and where
You may see more cockroaches for a few days as the treatment draws them out of hiding. That is normal. Leave the gel baits in place, keep food sealed and wipe benches each night so the bait is the easiest meal around. Most homes see a clear drop over one to two weeks.
