German cockroaches are small, pale brown and have two dark lines on the shield behind the head. They are the cockroach most likely to be breeding inside Brisbane homes, especially apartments and units. They love warmth, moisture and food scraps, so they gather in kitchens and bathrooms. A female carries an egg case with dozens of eggs, and the young grow up in a matter of weeks, which is why numbers can explode quickly.
When you call, we ask where you are seeing them, how many and for how long. We give you an upfront price and book an independent crew working nearby. The crew we book focuses on the tight, warm spaces German cockroaches prefer and uses treatments that suit indoor areas.
- Cockroach baiting inside hinges, drawer runners and cupboard corners
- Wall void dusting behind kitchen and bathroom walls
- Checks under and behind the fridge, dishwasher, oven and microwave
- Treatment of gaps around pipes, tiles and splashbacks
- Tips on sealing gaps and keeping benches clear at night
Spraying alone rarely works on German cockroaches, as it can scatter them into other rooms and they tend to avoid treated surfaces. Bait placed where they feed gets carried back to their hiding spots, where it reaches the rest of the group. Because eggs can hatch after the first visit, many homes book a second treatment two to three weeks later.
Keep the kitchen clean, fix drips under the sink and do not spray over the bait. If you are seeing small cockroaches in your Brisbane kitchen or bathroom, call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a crew at a time that suits you.
