Cockroaches thrive in Brisbane's warm, humid weather, and plenty of homes in Hamilton deal with them alongside rats and mice. Small German cockroaches live indoors, sheltering in cracks around kitchen cupboards, dishwashers, fridges and microwaves. Large American cockroaches live mostly outside in drains, garden beds and subfloors, and wander indoors on warm nights. Both leave droppings, a musty smell and egg cases behind.
When you call, we ask what the cockroaches look like and where you see them, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book treats each type differently. For German cockroaches, that usually means gel bait placed in hinges, cracks and behind appliances where they shelter. For American cockroaches, it usually means an outdoor spray around the building, subfloor and drains, and dust in the roof space or wall voids. A visit usually includes:
- Inspecting the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and drains
- Gel bait in cupboard hinges and appliance gaps
- An outdoor spray around doors, windows and the subfloor where suitable
- Dust in roof spaces or wall voids where needed
- Tips on fixing leaks and clearing clutter that give cockroaches shelter
In apartment blocks around Hamilton, German cockroaches can spread between units through shared walls and plumbing, so it helps if the body corporate treats the building together. After a gel bait treatment you may still see some cockroaches for a week or two while the bait works through them. Keep benches clean, but avoid spraying household sprays near the gel, as that can stop it working.
