Such is their ability to survive even the most extreme conditions, it’s often joked that cockroaches will ‘inherit the Earth’ should the human race destroy itself. This insect is one of the most common indoor pests as they prefer the warmer conditions found within such dwellings. A cockroach infestation can appear quickly and will usually require the services of a licensed pest control company. We offer cockroach control solutions that are effective, affordable and most notably safe for you, your family and any pets. We also offer cockroach control to the commercial and industrial sectors.
The most commonly encountered species in Melbourne and Regional Victoria are the German, American and Oriental cockroaches.
The German cockroach is the scourge of the Melbourne hospitality scene. Call us before a few become a thousand.
The mere presence of this pest leads to shrieks of terror and the search for the nearest chair to stand on. This fear we’ve developed, however, is well-founded. Research shows that roaches harbour viruses, including polio.
These insidious creatures are in constant search for food, usually at night. As such, they regularly scurry across food preparation and food service areas. They leave behind a trail that attracts others as well as potential disease carrying vomit and fecal matter. The failure to properly clean bench tops, cutlery and cooking utensils only contributes to the spread of disease.
A female lays anywhere between 10 and 40 eggs at a time. The lifespan of a cockroach in suitable conditions is usually 12 months. Because they are nocturnal, you may not be aware of their presence.
The German cockroach has breeding capabilities unlike any other. Fast and effective cockroach control is our specialty.
A vigilant cleaning policy, particularly around food storage and food preparation areas, is a great infestation prevention measure. Other steps you can take to eliminate the likelihood of these unwanted guests are to block entry points, such as cracks in walls and windows. Dripping taps and other water leaks should also be repaired. If you employ these measures, you will go a long way to ensuring your home is not only cockroach-free but pest-free entirely.
In our experience though we’ve found that even the cleanest of homes, cafes, restaurants and accommodation facilities can get overrun by these creatures. If this is the case for you, we’re only too willing to help.
Cockroach infestations require a precise approach to eliminate the problem effectively and prevent recurrence.

We also understand that different environments require different measures. Homes may need family-safe treatments, while offices require minimal disruption to daily operations.
