Cockroach Control On The Sunshine Coast To North Brisbane

What To Expect From Your Cockroach Inspection & Treatment

We want your treatment to be simple, stress-free, and effective. On the day of your treatment, we’ll:

• Arrive within your booked time window
• Talk through where you’ve seen cockroaches and any concerns
• Ask you to move small items off areas where needed
• Advise what to do with pets during and just after treatment
• Let you know when you can re-enter treated areas and clean again

Most standard home treatments are completed within a single visit. Larger homes or heavy German cockroach infestations may require follow-up visits. We’ll explain this up-front if needed.

Step One: Cockroach Inspection

Our pest technicians start with a thorough inspection of common harbourage points to identify what type of cockroach you’re dealing with and where they’re hiding. This includes:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Laundries
• Any other areas where you’ve seen cockroach activity

We look for key signs of cockroaches, such as:

• Faecal staining and droppings
• Egg casings and shed skins
• Deceased cockroaches
• Live cockroaches
• Gnawed food (e.g. fruit, bread, and other pantry items)
• Musty odours that often accompany larger infestations

Once these harbourage points have been fully inspected, we continue through the rest of your home so no area is missed.

Step Two: Professional Cockroach Treatment

Once we’ve completed the inspection and identified harbourage points, we begin treatment. Our pest technicians use different products in different areas of your home to get the best possible result.

Depending on the species and location, we may use:

• Repellent dust in non-accessible areas (e.g. in cavities below kitchen cabinetry) to help flush cockroaches out of hiding and provides long-lasting protection.
• Non-repellent aerosols around plumbing fittings, hinges, drains (where suitable), behind and around appliances, and other entry points, because cockroaches don’t detect the product, so they walk through it and spread it back to the colony.
• Cockroach attractant gels that are especially effective for intrusive species like German cockroaches, placed in targeted spots so the cockroaches feed on the gel and share it within the nest.

We also conduct perimeter treatments inside and outside your home, including along skirting boards, for protection that helps prevent new cockroach infestations from establishing.
