Cockroaches love the warm, humid weather on the Sunshine Coast. The large brown cockroaches come in from gardens, drains and roof spaces, while the small German cockroaches breed inside kitchens and bathrooms, often behind the fridge, dishwasher or oven. Homes that have rats often have cockroaches too, as both are drawn to the same food scraps and shelter. Cockroaches also do well in bathrooms and laundries, where leaking taps, damp cupboards and floor wastes give them water. Many people first see them at night, running across the kitchen floor when the light goes on, and one sighting in daylight often means there are a lot more hiding nearby.
When you call, tell us which rooms you see them in, what size they are and whether you see them in the day or only at night. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book treats where the cockroaches hide, not just where you see them.
- Gel bait placed in cupboard hinges, cracks and behind appliances
- Dust applied in wall voids, roof spaces and subfloors where needed
- Spray treatment around the outside of the home and entry points
- Drains, electricity boxes and garden beds checked
- Tips on cleaning and storing food while the treatment works
You will likely see more cockroaches for a few days after the visit as they come out of hiding. That is normal and a sign the treatment is reaching them. German cockroaches can take a second visit to clear, and the crew will tell you if that is likely.
You can book cockroach control on its own or with a rodent visit. We book crews for homes and units across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7768 to get a price and a booking time.
