Bathrooms and laundries are second only to kitchens for cockroach problems in Brisbane. They are warm, damp and full of pipes, drains and small gaps, which is exactly what cockroaches like. You might find big cockroaches in the shower or bath first thing in the morning, or small ones scattering from behind the vanity when you turn the light on.
When you call, we ask where you are seeing them and whether they seem to come from the drains. We give you an upfront price and book an independent pest crew working nearby. The crew we book checks the drains, pipes and cabinets, then treats the spots where cockroaches are getting in and hiding.

A common cause of big cockroaches in bathrooms is a floor waste or spare shower that is rarely used. Each drain holds a little water in its trap, which blocks the path from the sewer. When that water dries out, cockroaches can climb straight up. Running water into unused drains each week keeps that seal in place.
Leaking taps, dripping pipes and damp towels on the floor also draw cockroaches in, so fixing leaks and running the exhaust fan helps a lot. Hang towels up to dry and wipe down wet shower screens so the room dries out faster. To book bathroom cockroach treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7767 and we will set up a visit that suits you.
