Cockroaches and mice often share the same homes in Brisbane, because both are drawn to warm kitchens, crumbs and damp spots under the sink. In units, cockroaches can also travel between homes along plumbing. We book cockroach control on its own or at the same visit as a mouse treatment. When you call, we ask what you are seeing, give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book first works out which cockroach you have. Small brown German cockroaches live inside, mostly in kitchens and bathrooms, and hide in cupboard hinges, behind appliances and inside the dishwasher door. Larger American cockroaches come in from drains, gardens and the space under the house, often at night in warm weather. Once the crew sees where they gather, they choose the right mix of gel, dust and spray for your home.
- Gel bait placed in cupboard hinges, cracks and corners
- Dust in wall voids, the roof space and behind appliances
- A targeted spray around the outside of the home
- Drains and the subfloor checked for larger cockroaches
- Advice on leaks, crumbs and clutter
Gel bait works slowly. Cockroaches eat it and carry it back to their hiding spots, where others feed on it too. You might see a few more cockroaches in the open for several days before numbers fall away. Wiping benches, fixing dripping taps and sealing food will help the treatment along. The crew will tell you what to look for over the next few weeks.
Cockroach control across Brisbane is same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7772 to book a visit, and mention any mouse signs so the crew can check for both.
