Cockroaches do well in the heat and humidity of the Gold Coast. Large American and Australian cockroaches wander in from gardens, drains and roof spaces, while smaller German cockroaches breed inside kitchens, around dishwashers and behind fridges. Older unit blocks, holiday apartments and homes near canals and drains tend to see them the most. Holiday hosts often call between guests, and the crew can work around changeover times where the run allows.
When you call, we ask what the cockroaches look like, which rooms they are in and how long it has been going on. That tells the crew which kind they are dealing with. We then book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit. A cockroach visit can include:
- Gel baiting in kitchen cupboards, hinges and behind appliances
- Treatment of the roof space and subfloor where the crew can reach
- Treatment around drains, weep holes and the outside walls
- Dusting of wall voids and gaps around pipes
- A check of the garage, laundry and bin area
- Advice on cleaning, storage and sealing gaps
German cockroaches can take more than one visit, because eggs hatch after the first treatment. The crew will tell you what to expect and whether a second visit is likely, and the price of any extra visit is given upfront. Keep benches clear, fix dripping taps and avoid spraying over baits while they are working. In unit blocks, cockroaches can move between units, so it helps to mention if neighbours have them.
