Cockroaches do well in the warm, humid Brisbane climate, and most homes in Hamilton see them at some point. Large outdoor cockroaches wander in from gardens and drains, while small German cockroaches can breed inside kitchens and bathrooms and spread quickly through a home or unit block. German cockroaches are the ones to act on quickly, since a few can turn into hundreds within weeks if they are left alone.
When you book cockroach control, tell us which kind you are seeing and where. The crew we book matches the treatment to the problem. Outdoor cockroaches are usually handled with a spray and dust around the outside and roof void. Indoor cockroaches often need gel baits placed in cupboards, behind appliances and near hinges and cracks, where they hide during the day.
- Gel baiting in kitchen and bathroom cupboards
- Treatment behind the fridge, stove and dishwasher
- Spray and dust around drains, weep holes and entry points
- Roof void and subfloor treatment where needed
- Advice on food storage and cleaning up crumbs and grease
Before the visit, clear out the cupboards being treated and wipe down benches. After gel baiting, avoid using your own insect sprays near the baits, since that can put cockroaches off eating them. It is normal to see a few more cockroaches for a short time after treatment as they come out of hiding. If you are in a unit, mention it, since cockroaches often move between neighbouring units through shared walls and pipes.
We give upfront pricing on the phone before anyone comes out, and visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7765 to book cockroach control in Hamilton.
