Brisbane's warm, humid weather suits cockroaches, and Toowong homes see plenty of them. Small German cockroaches breed in kitchens, behind fridges and inside cupboards, especially in units. Large American and Australian cockroaches come in from gardens, drains, roof spaces and the area under the house, often at night after rain. Seeing one or two now and then is common, but regular sightings suggest they are breeding close by.
When you call, we ask where you see the cockroaches, what size they are and whether you live in a house or a unit. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
At the visit, the crew checks the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and other damp, warm spots, along with the roof space and under the house where access allows. They explain the options, which often include gel baits placed in cracks and hinges where cockroaches hide, dusts in wall and roof voids and treatments around the outside of the house. They tell you where they are placing products and how long to keep children and pets clear. They also point out things that help cockroaches, such as crumbs, open food and gaps around pipes.
