German Cockroach Pest Control Sydney

 

Generally, with German cockroaches the further they move away from water the larger their populations. Once their nests become over crowded they are forced to go into rooms where there is no easy water supply.

Your pest control consultant will ask you what rooms you are seeing the German cockroaches in

Are they just confined to the kitchen, bathroom or laundry or have you seen any signs of German cockroaches in the lounge room or bedrooms?

How are German cockroaches treated?

 

PNP Pest Control Sydney uses a paste that is placed inside the kitchen, bathroom, laundry cupboards, behind your appliances and in other specific areas within the rooms that are affected.

How Does the Gel Work?

 

The gel is placed in the hinges of the cupboards and behind your appliances using a syringe and then hardens. The German cockroaches see this gel as a food source and will feed from it.

As cockroaches lick themselves clean, when they go back to the nest and other cockroaches start the cleaning process the chemical is passed amongst each other inside the nest.

Preparing for The German Cockroach Treatment

 

• Clean up internally
• clean behind the fridge if accessible
• under the microwave
• Limit the clutter within the house
• Limit paper goods
• throw out cardboard boxes and plastic bags

What to Expect After a German Cockroach Treatment

 

• German cockroaches will be flushed out and will continue for up to 6 weeks
• It is common to see baby German cockroaches coming out approx. 3- 4 weeks after the treatment
• You should notice a 70-80% reduction in the first week and will continue to decrease

Do not be alarmed if you do not see any dead cockroaches, this does not mean that the treatment is not working as there is a possibility that they will die within their nests.

PNP Pest Control Recommends:

 

• Cleaning ? Before the pest control treatment
• Moving into a new property?  Pest control after cleaning & before moving in.
• Painting? Finish it before pest control.
• General Pest treatments should be carried out annually or 6 monthly for problem areas
• Repair any leaking plumbing or appliances as they will invite cockroaches to your property

How Long Is the Warranty?
