Many homes in Brisbane sit up on stumps, from old timber Queenslanders to post-war houses with a laundry or storage underneath. The space under these homes is often dark, damp and full of stored items, which makes it a perfect breeding spot for big cockroaches. From there they climb up through gaps in the floorboards, around pipes and into downstairs rooms.
When you call, we ask how your home is built, whether the subfloor is open or closed in, and where you are seeing cockroaches. We give you an upfront price and book an independent pest crew working nearby. The crew we book checks the subfloor where it can be reached and treats the areas where cockroaches are sheltering and breeding.

A damp subfloor is a big draw for cockroaches. Blocked gutters, overflowing downpipes and leaking pipes can all keep the ground under the house wet for days. Clearing out old cardboard, timber and junk, and keeping stored things up off the ground in sealed tubs, removes a lot of hiding spots. Good airflow through the subfloor helps it dry out faster after rain.
Subfloor treatment is often booked together with baiting inside the home, so cockroaches are dealt with at the source and where you see them. To book subfloor cockroach treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7767 and we will find a time that suits you.
