Cockroach Pest Control SydneyWhat are cockroaches?

 

Cockroaches are one of the most common pests found in homes & commercial properties, especially food handling premises. They are probably the most despised and widespread pests known.

They are a high-risk pest to have in your home & business as they can cause diseases such as salmonella and gastroenteritis and their droppings have been linked to childhood asthma.

Apart from the health risks, cockroaches to many homeowners are disturbing their sight and the obnoxious odour they produce can contaminate nearby food and belongings.

Cockroaches breed rapidly and are resilient. A quick response is essential to prevent cockroaches in your home or spreading to your neighbours.

Seeing live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day. You will most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night

Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature.

Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1 mm wide and of varying lengths.

Odour – established cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty smell.

Damage – cockroaches will attack organic goods including leather and books.

Cockroach Eradication

 

The Treatment for German cockroaches is different than the treatment for large cockroaches.

We use a gel & non-repellent spray to eradicate German cockroaches. The German cockroaches feed from the gel/paste then carry it back with them to their nests and passing it onto each other during their cleansing process. (cockroaches lick themselves clean)

Eradicating standard cockroaches is completed by using a spray to the internal and external areas & the application of powder/dust to the roof cavity and sub floor area.
