Professional Cockroach Control Services for your home, cottage, event or business.
Cockroach Control
Cockroaches are hardy insects and can remain active for several months with little to no food. These pests live near human activity where food handling and hygiene standards are poor. Knowing the type of cockroach you are dealing with can help when deciding how to get rid of them. Cockroaches spread bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies, and skin rashes. They feed on both plant and animal origin with a preference for starchy materials. In domestic environments, they prefer to live near hot water pipes, moist kitchen sinks, behind stoves and refrigerators, and in cracks/crevices. For truly effective cockroach control, you need professional pest control services.
Prevent Cockroaches
​
A crucial step in eliminating cockroaches is to remove what attracting them including food, water and shelter.
The first defence against a cockroach infestation is to secure your environment:
-
Seal entry points to prevent cockroaches from entering. Look out for gaps around pipes, drains and common walls with neighbouring properties
-
Keep food crumbs from accumulating in and around counters/cabinets
-
Store food in containers or sealed plastic bags
-
Clean all garbage spills immediately
-
Clean food debris from under appliances
-
Clean used dishes immediately after meals
-
Remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight
-
Keep compost in sealed bins
-
Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
