COCKROACH TREATMENT

Our Part: Internal spray ,gel bait and dust treatment. External spray to garage, sheds, fence lines, pathways, windows, gutters, fascias etc. Dusting to roof void , cracks, crevices and weep holes.

Your Part: Don’t put the washing out, clean up before treatment, mow the lawns, limit your garbage outside and clean up internally. The more things away from the wall inside and out the better the barrier. Keep windows and doors closed until the spray dries.

Protecting Your Home

  • Seal cracks, crevices or gaps in sliding doors, fly screens and around pipes where cockroaches may enter

  • Repair any leaking taps as cockroaches need water to survive

  • Wash your dishes and pack food away after meals.

  • Clean up crumbs and spills immediately

  • Keep food containers sealed and don’t leave dirty dishes out overnight.

  • Don’t leave fruit on the counter top.

  • Empty garbage bins and vacuum and mop frequently

  • Keep the house clean.

How Does the Spray Work?

The spray and dust method used for large cockroach control not only eradicates the current population but will also provide long-term protection as a residual protection is formed.

A cockroach will walk over this barrier and meet this barrier, and as cockroaches tend to lick themselves clean they end up digesting the poison.
