Important factors in Cockroach control:

- Treatment by reputable pest controller
- Re-treatment if required
Cockroaches are very good at hiding in very small spaces because of their flat bodies. They breed very quickly and are mature in 2-3 months. Young cockroaches do not have wings and are smaller than the adult. Areas cockroaches are most commonly found are in cracks and crevices in the kitchen, around the hot water service, cupboard hinges, drains, in the roof and around electrical appliances.
Treatment requires that the area is kept clean and free from any food scraps, dirty dishes need to be washed and not left overnight. Cockroaches also feed in sewers and from garbage which carries disease.
The species must be identified to ensure the best treatment is selected. We use powders, sprays, gels and traps which are used in combination to ensure effective results. We also offer a warranty period for your peace of mind. Should any re-infestation occur during this time the area will be re treated at no charge.
The most common cockroach found in homes, especially kitchens is the German Cockroach which are a light brown colour with two dark stripes on their heads. They are smaller than the American cockroach with the adult growing to around 2cm in length. German cockroaches like to live inside, preferring warm kitchens with food and water.
American cockroaches grow to around 5cm long (double the size of German cockroaches) and are happy to live either inside or outside preferring moist areas like drains. These are a much darker brown colour.
