Cockroaches in the Kitchen? Do This First
In Palm Beach, 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 Palm Beach
Cockroaches hide during the day. These are the signs Palm Beach 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.

Pricing

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.
-

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

Questions
Cockroach Control Palm Beach FAQs
What people ask us most before they book.
Ask us something else
How quickly will the cockroaches go in Palm Beach?
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 Palm Beach?
Cockroaches, ants in sandy soil and termites in older homes are the regular calls.
What should Palm Beach homeowners look out for?
The things we find most often around Palm Beach are coastal brown ants in sandy soil, cockroaches in units and older homes, termites in older beach houses and rats near the creeks. Palm Beach homes in sandy soil should treat early if sand appears between pavers.
How much does cockroach control cost in Palm Beach?
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.
