Cockroaches are one of the main reasons people in North Geelong pick up the phone. The small, light brown German cockroach is the usual problem indoors. It breeds quickly in warm kitchens, bathrooms and laundries and hides in hinges, behind the fridge and inside the motors of appliances. The larger, reddish American cockroach tends to live in drains, subfloors and garden mulch, and wanders inside on warm nights.
When you call, tell us where you have seen them, how many, and whether you see them during the day. Daytime sightings often mean a large number is hiding out of sight. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who deals with cockroaches in Geelong homes every week.
- Gel bait placed in hinges, cracks and the backs of cupboards
- Treatment behind and under the fridge, oven and dishwasher
- Dust in wall voids and around pipe entry points
- A check of the bathroom, laundry and hot water cupboard
- An outside spray around drains and entry points for American cockroaches
Before the visit, empty the cupboards under the sink, wipe down the benches and put food in sealed containers. Do not use your own insect spray for a few days beforehand, as it can drive cockroaches deeper into the walls and stop them taking the bait. You may see more of them for a short time after the treatment as they come out of hiding. That is normal and usually settles down over the next two weeks.
Older rentals and units around North Geelong with a heavy problem may need a second visit, which the crew will talk through with you and which we price before it goes ahead. Call 03 7053 9842 to book cockroach treatment.
