Cockroaches in the Kitchen? Do This First

In Broadbeach, large cockroaches come in from gardens, drains and the subfloor, while small German cockroaches breed indoors.

A few small changes before we arrive help the bait work faster.

  1. 1

    Stop spraying

    Sprays contaminate the bait and push cockroaches deeper into walls.

  2. 2

    Clean up crumbs and grease

    Wipe benches and stovetops, and empty the kitchen bin at night.

  3. 3

    Fix leaks

    Dripping taps and damp cupboards give cockroaches water.

  4. 4

    Clear under the sinks

    Empty the cupboards so we can bait along the pipes and hinges.

  5. Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Cockroach Problems in Broadbeach

Cockroaches hide during the day. These are the signs Broadbeach households tell us about.

"Small brown ones in the kitchen"

German cockroaches breed inside, behind fridges, dishwashers and cupboard hinges.

"A big one flew at me"

American and Australian cockroaches fly on warm nights and come in from outside.

"Black pepper marks in the cupboard"

Droppings and smear marks show where cockroaches shelter.

"A musty, oily smell"

Heavy infestations give off a stale smell in cupboards and drawers.

"Egg cases behind the fridge"

Brown, capsule-shaped cases mean breeding is happening inside.

"They come up the drains"

Large cockroaches travel through drains and stormwater pipes.

What is at stake

Why Cockroaches Should Be Treated Properly

A few cockroaches become a serious infestation fast in this climate.

01

Germs on food areas

Cockroaches carry bacteria from drains and bins onto benches.

02

Asthma and allergies

Droppings and shed skins trigger asthma, especially in children.

03

Fast breeding

One German cockroach egg case can hold up to 40 young.

04

Sprays backfire

Sprays scatter cockroaches and spoil bait.

Pricing

Cockroach Control Prices in Broadbeach

A unit kitchen is a short job. A busy cafe or a heavy German cockroach problem takes more. These things set the price.

What sets the price

  • Species. German cockroaches need a program with follow-ups.

  • How heavy it is. Long-running problems need more bait and time.

  • Property size. More rooms and outbuildings mean more to treat.

  • Home or business. Commercial kitchens are priced per site.

You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.
