Cockroaches are one of the main reasons people call us from Redlands. The large brown cockroaches that wander in from gardens and drains are common in bayside homes, and the smaller German cockroach can take hold in kitchens, especially in units. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a local crew that deals with both.
The crew starts by finding where the cockroaches are living. They check under sinks, behind the fridge and oven, inside cupboard hinges, around the hot water system and in the roof space. They also look for egg cases, droppings and the musty smell a big group can leave. Inside, they place gel baits in small dots where cockroaches travel, and they may dust wall voids. Outside, they spray around drains, downpipes, garden beds and the base of the walls.

Cockroach numbers in Redlands climb through the warmer months, and summer storms tend to flush them out of drains and into homes. Baits take a little time to work, because cockroaches carry the bait back to others. You may see a few more in the first days after a visit before numbers drop. Keeping food sealed and benches wiped at night helps the treatment along.
Before the crew arrives, clear the benches and the cupboards under the sink so they can reach the corners. To book cockroach control, call 07 3543 7768. We will give you upfront pricing and line up a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
