Cockroaches in the Kitchen? Do This First
In Jamboree Heights, 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
Stop spraying
Sprays contaminate the bait and push cockroaches deeper into walls.
-
2
Clean up crumbs and grease
Wipe benches and stovetops, and empty the kitchen bin at night.
-
3
Fix leaks
Dripping taps and damp cupboards give cockroaches water.
-
4
Clear under the sinks
Empty the cupboards so we can bait along the pipes and hinges.
-
Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Cockroach Problems in Jamboree Heights
Cockroaches keep out of sight. These are the clues Jamboree Heights homes usually notice.
"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.

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

Cockroach Control Jamboree Heights FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
How quickly will the cockroaches go in Jamboree Heights?
Most homes see a big drop within one to three weeks as cockroaches feed on the bait. German cockroach programs include a follow-up visit.
What pests are most common in Jamboree Heights?
Termites, possums and general pests are the regular calls, with spiders around outdoor areas.
What should Jamboree Heights homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Jamboree Heights are termites in slab homes and old fences, possums in roofs near parkland trees, spiders around pools and patios and cockroaches after storms. Older Jamboree Heights homes may have barriers that have worn out; a termite inspection will tell you if it needs renewing.
How much does cockroach control cost in Jamboree Heights?
It depends on the species, how heavy the problem is and the size of the property. You get the price before any work starts.
Is the treatment safe for my family?
Gel baits go into cracks and hinges, out of sight and reach. Outside barriers are kept to entry points and walls. Keep children and pets off treated surfaces until dry.
Why am I seeing more after the treatment?
For a few days, cockroaches come out of hiding as the products take effect. If you are still seeing live ones after three weeks, call us.
Can you treat my whole unit block?
Yes. Treating the whole block, or at least neighbouring units, gives the best result because German cockroaches move through shared walls.
Do you treat cafes and restaurants?
Yes. We work around service hours, use food-area friendly methods and provide service records.
