Cockroaches are a year-round problem in Buderim, but numbers climb in the humid months from spring to autumn. The big American and Australian cockroaches live outside in garden beds, drains, sub-floors and roof spaces and wander in at night. The smaller German cockroach lives inside, breeding in warm spots behind the fridge, dishwasher and stove, and it can build up very quickly.
When you call, tell us how big the cockroaches are, where you see them and whether you see them during the day. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book finds where they are hiding and uses a mix of treatments to reach them. You may see more cockroaches for a day or two as the treatment flushes them out.
- Gel bait in cupboard corners, hinges and behind appliances
- Dust in wall voids, roof spaces and sub-floors
- Spray around drains, downpipes and garden edges
- Checks of under-house storage in highset homes
- Advice on leaks, gaps and food storage
Before the visit, empty the cupboards under the sinks, wipe down the kitchen and store food in sealed containers. Avoid spraying supermarket products in the days before, because they make cockroaches avoid the bait. German cockroaches often need a second visit about two weeks later. The crew will tell you if that is needed and give you the price first.
Older Queenslanders and highset homes in Buderim with open space underneath often have cockroaches living below the floor. Tell us if you have a studio or bungalow in the yard that needs treating too. Call 07 3543 7765 to get a price and book a visit.
