Cockroaches in Mill Park come in two main types. German cockroaches are small, tan and live indoors, packed into the warm gaps behind fridges, dishwashers, microwaves and stoves. They breed quickly and are the ones that turn up in townhouse and unit kitchens. The larger American and Australian cockroaches usually live outside in drains, garden mulch and sheds, and wander in through gaps under doors and around pipes.
When you call, tell us what size they are, where you have seen them and whether you see them during the day, because that points to how big the problem is. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew. The crew we book finds where the cockroaches are hiding and matches the treatment to the type, with baits in cracks and hinges for German cockroaches, and outdoor treatment of drains and entry points for the larger kinds.
- Gel bait placement in hinges, cracks and appliance gaps
- Treatment behind and under the fridge, stove and dishwasher
- Treatment of drains, wall vents and door thresholds
- A growth inhibitor to break the breeding cycle
- Advice on sealing gaps and cutting off food and water
Before the visit, empty the cupboards under the sink and next to the stove, and wipe grease off benches and splashbacks. After the treatment, do not wipe away the bait spots. You may see more cockroaches for a few days as they come out and die, which is a normal part of the process.
If you live in a townhouse or unit, have a word with the neighbours, since cockroaches travel through shared walls. Call 03 7053 9824 for upfront pricing on cockroach treatment in Mill Park.
