Many cockroaches on the Sunshine Coast do not live inside the house at all. American, Australian and smoky brown cockroaches live in gardens, mulch, drains and leaf litter, then wander in at night through gaps under doors, weep holes and vents. A perimeter spray treats the outside of the home so they meet it before they get in. Weep holes, gaps around pipes and garage doors are the usual entry points, and outside lights near doors draw cockroaches closer on humid nights.
When you call, tell us about the home, the garden and whether you have pets or a pool. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book sprays the base of the walls and the common entry points, and treats the spots outdoor cockroaches use to shelter.
- Spray along the base of external walls and slab edges
- Doors, windows, weep holes and vents treated
- Garden beds, mulch and paths near the house treated
- Eaves and pergolas sprayed for spiders where reachable
- Drains, pits and electricity boxes checked for cockroaches
- Tips on moving mulch and leaf litter away from the walls
A perimeter spray also reduces ants and spiders coming inside, so it works well as a general outdoor treatment. Please keep pets and children away from treated areas until the spray has dried, and tell us about fish ponds so they can be avoided. Heavy rain soon after the visit can wash some of the treatment away.
Many people book a perimeter spray once or twice a year, often in spring before the humid months. We book perimeter pest sprays for homes across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7767 to get a price.
