The kitchen is the heart of most cockroach problems. It has food, water, warmth and plenty of dark places to hide, from cupboard hinges and drawer runners to the motor area under the fridge. On the Sunshine Coast, humid weather means kitchens stay warm and damp for much of the year, which suits cockroaches perfectly. Kitchens with older cabinets, gaps around the sink and splashback, or heavy appliances that stay put for years give cockroaches sheltered places to breed right next to food. Grease and crumbs that build up behind the stove are a steady food source.
When you call, tell us where in the kitchen you see them and whether they appear during the day. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book focuses on the spots cockroaches use most, placing bait and treatment deep in the gaps rather than across open benches.
- Cupboard hinges, corners and drawer runners baited
- Fridge, dishwasher, oven and microwave backs checked and treated
- Under the sink, around pipes and plumbing gaps treated
- Pantry shelves and splashback gaps checked
- Tips on food storage and nightly cleaning
Before the visit, please empty the cupboards under the sink, clear the benches and put food into sealed containers. If you can, pull the fridge and stove out a little so the crew can reach behind them. After the visit, wipe benches as normal, but try not to clean inside cupboard hinges or corners where bait has been placed for a week or two.
Most kitchens see a clear drop within a couple of weeks, and German cockroaches may need a second visit. We book kitchen cockroach treatment in homes and units across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7767 to get a price and a booking time.
