Cockroach treatment is the main job we book in Brisbane. Most people call after they see one dart under the fridge when the kitchen light goes on, or find small black droppings in a drawer or along the back of a cupboard. By the time you notice them in the daytime, there are usually many more hiding nearby. When you ring, we ask what the cockroaches look like, where you see them and what kind of home you live in. Then we give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book starts with a walk through the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. They use a torch to check hinges, the backs of drawers, the gaps around the dishwasher and fridge, and the space under the sink. This tells them which type of cockroach you have and where it is breeding. The treatment is then matched to what they find.
- Gel bait in small dots where cockroaches feed and travel
- Insect dust in wall voids, switch plates and deep gaps
- A targeted spray around doors, drains and outside edges
- Checks of the roof space and subfloor on houses
- Tips on leaks, gaps and food storage for your home
Expect to see a few cockroaches in the open over the next week or so. That is the bait working, not the treatment going wrong. Leave the bait spots alone and hold off on supermarket sprays, which can put cockroaches off the bait. Most homes settle down in two to three weeks. If activity keeps going after that, call and we will talk through the next step.
Visits across Brisbane and the nearby inner suburbs are same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book cockroach treatment, call 07 3543 7765.
