How We Eliminate Cockroaches

Professional, proven, and backed by our warranty

1

Species Identification

We identify whether you have German, American, Australian, or Smoky Brown cockroaches — each requires a different treatment approach.

2

Gel Bait Application

Professional cockroach gel baits placed in cracks, hinges, and harbourage areas. Cockroaches eat the bait and spread it through the colony.

3

Crack & Crevice Treatment

Targeted insecticide applied directly into cracks, gaps around pipes, and behind appliances where cockroaches hide.

4

Perimeter Barrier

External spray treatment around doors, windows, weep holes, and drainage points to stop new cockroaches entering.

5

Monitoring & Warranty

Sticky traps placed to monitor activity levels. Full 6-month warranty — if they return, we retreat at no charge.

Signs You Need Cockroach Control

Watch for these warning signs around your property

Small dark droppings that look like ground pepper in kitchen drawers and cupboards

A musty, oily smell — large cockroach colonies produce a distinctive odour

Egg cases (oothecae) — small brown capsules found in hidden crevices

Seeing cockroaches during the day indicates a severe infestation — they're nocturnal and only come out in daylight when overcrowded

DIY vs Professional Treatment

Surface sprays from Bunnings kill individual cockroaches but scatter the colony deeper into walls. Professional gel baits work differently — cockroaches eat the bait, return to the nest, and spread it to the entire colony through their droppings and body contact.

When Pests Are Most Active

Cockroach activity in Sydney peaks from October to March when warm, humid conditions accelerate breeding. German cockroaches breed indoors year-round, while Australian and American species invade homes seeking moisture during dry spells.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

The longer you delay, the worse it gets

Cockroach allergens are the #1 trigger for childhood asthma in Australian homes — their droppings, shed skins, and saliva become airborne

German cockroaches carry E. coli, Salmonella, and over 30 species of bacteria on their bodies

Heavy infestations contaminate food prep surfaces even when you can't see visible cockroaches

Cockroach Control FAQ — Sydney

Common questions from Sydney residents

Why do I still see cockroaches after spraying?
Surface sprays actually scatter cockroaches — they flee the treated area and spread through your home. Professional gel baits take 2-3 weeks to eliminate the full colony, but they work from the inside out.
How do cockroaches get into clean homes?
Cockroaches enter through tiny gaps around pipes, drains, weep holes, and under doors. They're attracted to moisture more than mess — even the cleanest home has the water sources they need.
Are German cockroaches harder to treat?
Yes. German cockroaches breed exclusively indoors, reproduce faster than any other species (a single pair can produce 300,000 offspring per year), and have developed resistance to many over-the-counter sprays.
Can cockroaches come through drains?
Yes. American cockroaches commonly travel through sewer systems and enter homes through floor drains, especially in older properties. We treat drain entry points as part of our service.
