Cockroaches
Cockroaches are a common problem. These hated bugs cause more than just embarrassment to home and business owners, they also carry bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhoea, allergies and skin rashes.
About this service
The most common problem cockroaches in our area are:
The American cockroach which are large and well known for coming out of drains or flying into homes. They may even move in and make themselves comfortable under our sink or in other warm areas. We use a pyrethroid spray that will give residual protection.
The pyrethroid sprays we use are safe inside and outside, have a very low solvent level, making them odourless, non-irritating and safe.
The German cockroach, a smaller cockroach which infests homes and businesses, especially kitchens and appliances. They are the fastest breeding cockroach that invade our homes so you may turn on your light one night to suddenly see what seems like hundreds of them scattering. They are small enough to nest in very hard to reach places.
We use a poison gel bait which is specifically for cockroaches. This gel is eaten by the cockroach and taken back to their harbourage areas. The poison has a ‘viral’ effect on the population as they interact with each other and within 10 days you should not be seeing any more live cockroaches.
