MAIN FEATURES OF OUR COCKROACH RIDDANCE PROGRAM


USING MULTIPLE METHODS

We use long lasting professional preparations to identify hiding spots and ensure methods used provide full termination coverage. Careful consideration is taken to ensure that this is done
effectively throughout the treatment.


USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE TRAPS

Professional grade moth traps are at least TWICE as potent. These are different to consumer grade variants. When used effectively they provide an effective treatment against moth activity.


INSPECTING AND MONITORING THOROUGHLY

Inspecting and monitoring the premises is very important as we zone in on activity. Monitoring the consumption of insecticides and ensuring the treatments stay effective means your problem is solved quicker.

COCKROACH CONTROL F.A.Q'S

Q: BEST CONTROL METHOD?

A tailored approach is best. Factors include the length of the infestation, severity of the problem and various other factors. Heat treatments are just as good as spray treatments or a combination of both.

Q: HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?


Once the cockroaches reach adulthood, they can live anywhere from 1 to 3 years. During this time, they will reproduce, creating new generations of cockroaches. Adult cockroaches are prolific breeders, producing hundreds of eggs per year.

Cockroach life expectancy varies depending on the species, environmental conditions, and availability of food and water. Some species can live for several years, while others may only survive for a few months.

Q: FIRST SIGNS OF ACTIVITY?


Normally the first signs are sightings. These normally happen in the later times of the day. Another sign is unpleasant odours that hadn't been experienced before.

Q: HOW QUICKLY DO THEY BREED?


One female cockroach can lay as many as five hundred eggs in a lifetime. The young reach full adulthood within six to twelve months, and their lifespans are about one year. In optimal conditions, almost all of the cockroaches may be adults, so there may be a lot of them around your house. They tend to hide out in dark places like under your kitchen sink. And they can squeeze through very tiny crevices so finding all of them is nearly impossible.

Q: COST TO GET PEST CONTROL?


Treatment prices depend of whether sprays or a heat treatment is required. Once the level of activity is inspected a quote can be supplied.

Q: HOW TO PREVENT THEM?


Thoroughly check second furniture and items you bring into your home. Keep your home well vacuumed regularly. Seal cracks and crevices over time to stop activity coming into your home from neighbouring properties.
