Cockroaches have a great ability to spread diseases, trigger allergies and asthma, and reproduce offspring at a rapid rate. As a result of these factors, effective pest control is essential to prevent and manage cockroach infestations.

Treatment process for cockroaches

• A thorough inspection and assessment is conducted by your technician to identify the level of infestation, species of cockroach present and locate nesting sites.
• A residual insecticide spray will be applied as a fine mist to internal areas including entry points, cracks and crevices, and along skirting boards.
• Dust will be applied to accessible roof voids, subfloors and areas where cockroaches are known to hide.
• Gel bait treatments to kitchen cupboards, sinks and electrical appliances in known harbourage areas.
• Cockroach treatments often require a follow up visit to effectively eliminate the infestation, particularly when dealing with German cockroaches.
• Preventative recommendations will be provided by your technician on the day to protect your property against future infestations.
