Cockroach Treatments – Pest Control Gold Coast

Cockroaches carry diseases, resulting in a high chance they contaminate your eating surfaces, cause annoyance, odours, damage, allergic reactions and, in rare cases, bites.

 

Contamination

Cockroaches can contaminate various surfaces, foods and utensils with cast skins, vomit marks, empty egg cases, droppings and dead carcasses. Yuck!

Annoyance

Most people highly dislike or are scared of the sight of Cockroaches. This is usually related to the old saying, ‘Where there is one, there are much more hiding.’ People also dislike their ‘creepy crawly’ legs and fast, unpredictable movements.

Odour

When a property has a large Cockroach infestation, it can sometimes cause an unpleasant odour. Secretions from the mouth and cuticle usually cause this.

Damage

Cockroaches are also well-known for causing hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of damage to electrical appliances throughout the home. They can cause damage to the electrical components of the appliance, which usually brings costly repair bills.

Allergic Reactions

There have been cases where people have had allergic reactions to Cockroaches. The reactions range from skin allergies to asthma attacks. This can be caused by inhaling their faeces that are a part of household dust or ingesting foods contaminated with faeces or cast skins.

Bites

In very rare cases, Cockroaches have been known to bite. This occurs mainly in areas where the Cockroach population is very high.

FAQ'S

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY HOME PROFESSIONALLY TREATED FOR PESTS

We recommend a general pest control treatment every 12 months for most homes. Properties with higher pest activity or surrounding bushland may benefit from more frequent treatments.

DO I NEED TO LEAVE MY HOME DURING THE TREATMENT?

Depending on the treatment being carried out, you may be asked to leave the property for a short period. Your technician will advise you before treatment and provide clear re-entry instructions.

ARE YOUR TREAMENTS SAFE FOR CHILDERAN & PETS?

Yes! We use professional products that are applied according to Australian regulations and manufacturer guidelines. We recommend keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they are completely dry.

CAN RAIN EFFECT MY PEST CONTROL TREATMENT?

Light rain after treatment will usually not affect the effectiveness of professionally applied products. During heavy rain or severe weather, we may recommend rescheduling certain external treatments for the best results.

HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS?

Many pests begin dying within hours of treatment, while others may take several days depending on the treatment method and pest species. Some increased activity immediately after treatment is normal as pests come into contact with the products.
