Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in Brisbane homes, thanks to warm, humid weather for much of the year. The small German cockroach lives in kitchens and bathrooms, often in units, while the big American cockroach comes in from drains, gardens and the damp ground under the house. We book cockroach control alongside rat and mouse jobs, since the same homes often have both.
When you call, we ask what you are seeing and where, give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew. The crew looks in and behind the fridge, stove, dishwasher and cupboards, around the plumbing and along skirting boards. They also check the laundry and bathrooms. Once they see which cockroach you have and where it hides, they choose the right mix of treatments.
- Gel bait placed in small dots in cupboard hinges and cracks
- Dust in wall voids and behind appliances
- A targeted spray around the outside of the home
- Drains and subfloors checked for larger cockroaches
- Advice on crumbs, leaks and clutter that feed them
Gel bait works slowly, as cockroaches carry it back to where they hide and share it with others. You may see more cockroaches out in the open for a few days before numbers drop. Keeping benches wiped and bins closed at night also helps the treatment work. The crew will explain what to expect and when to call if they are still around after a few weeks.
Cockroach control in Brisbane can be booked on its own or with a rat treatment. Visits are same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a visit.
