Trusted Protection Against Pest
COMMON Pests
Cockroach pest control
If the house is on a concrete slab we will dust the weep holes as cockroaches like to hide and nest in those areas as they are out of the elements and safe from predators. When doing a cockroach treatment, we like to create a barrier in the yard so the roaches do not enter the house.

Cockroach species in Australia
German
This cockroach has two dark lines running from the back of its head to the base of their wings. Although this cockroach has wings, it can barely fly and rarely does so mainly when getting brushed off a counter or wall.
Found commonly around human populations, the German cockroach prefers warm, humid, and dark environments.
They can be found anywhere in the home but are commonly found in and around kitchen and bathroom, laundry and ensuite, areas such as refrigerators and dishwashers, inside cupboards, drawers and electrical appliances. Other areas might include bed frames, wall hung pictures, clock, gamming consoles and modems.
Although the German cockroach is occasionally seen during day, especially if the population is crowded or has been disturbed, sightings are most frequent of an evening, when lights are suddenly turned after the room has been in dark, such as a kitchen where they have been scavenging. When excited or frightened, the species emits an unpleasant odour.
