Cockroaches are most at home in warm, damp spots with food nearby. In Wallan, that usually means behind the fridge, under the dishwasher, inside the kick panels of kitchen cupboards and around the hot water service. German cockroaches are the small, light brown ones that breed quickly indoors, while the larger dark ones tend to come in from drains, garden beds and sub-floors.
When you call 03 7053 9828, we ask where you have seen them, how many and at what time of day. That helps the crew we book work out which type they are dealing with. For German cockroaches, they usually use gel baits in cupboard hinges, cracks and appliance gaps, as sprays can scatter them into new hiding spots. For larger outdoor types, they treat the entry points and the outside of the home. It also helps to tell us if you live in a unit or townhouse with shared walls, because cockroaches can travel between homes through wall cavities and pipes, and the crew may suggest talking with neighbours about a treatment at the same time.
- Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries checked for signs and droppings
- Gel baits placed in cracks, hinges and behind appliances
- Drains, sub-floors and outdoor entry points treated where needed
- Advice on cleaning, food storage and sealing gaps
- Tips on what to expect in the weeks after the visit
Cockroach numbers drop over a few weeks as the baits work through the population. It helps to keep benches clear, rinse dishes before bed and put rubbish out regularly while the treatment takes hold. Older homes with timber floors and gaps around pipes can take a little longer than newer builds.
