Cockroach Pest Control

Cockroaches are drawn to food scraps, water sources, and warm, dark hiding places. Unsealed food, dirty dishes, and crumbs in cupboards are all common attractants. Leaky pipes and gaps under doors also make it easier for them to enter. Keeping your kitchen clean and well-sealed helps reduce the risk of an infestation.

Professional pest control services use a range of techniques depending on the species and severity of the infestation. Common methods include gel baits that attract and kill cockroaches, residual surface sprays, insecticidal dusts, and insect growth regulators. These are applied in key areas where cockroaches live and breed for long-term effectiveness.

You may start seeing results within a few hours, especially with adult cockroaches. However, full control can take 1 to 2 weeks as eggs hatch and the residual treatment continues to work. Severe infestations, particularly involving German cockroaches, may require follow-up visits for complete eradication.

Supermarket surface sprays kill the roaches you can see but not the ones hidden in wall cavities, appliances and cupboards — and they don't touch the eggs. German cockroaches in particular breed too fast for DIY sprays to keep up. Professional treatment targets the harbourage points and breaks the breeding cycle.

Yes. We use targeted gel baits and low-toxicity products placed precisely where cockroaches travel and breed, not broadcast over food-prep surfaces. We'll let you know if any area needs to be cleared briefly, but treatments are designed to be safe around kitchens once dry.
