Cockroaches turn up in all sorts of homes in Ferntree Gully, from older family houses to newer units and townhouses. The German cockroach is the main one indoors. It is small, light brown and breeds quickly in warm spots behind fridges, dishwashers and stoves. The larger Australian and American cockroaches tend to come in from gardens, drains and subfloors, especially on warm, humid nights.
When you call, tell us where you have seen them, how big they are and when. Cockroaches seen during the day usually mean a larger number out of sight. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who treats cockroaches in local homes every week.
- Gel bait in hinges, cracks and the backs of cupboards
- Treatment behind and under the fridge, stove and dishwasher
- Dust in wall voids, the roof space and around pipes
- An outside spray around drains, subfloor vents and entry points
- Advice on cleaning, food storage and sealing gaps
To prepare, empty the cupboards under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, wipe down benches and put food in sealed containers. Please avoid using your own sprays for a few days before and after the visit, because they can drive cockroaches deeper into the walls and stop them feeding on the bait. It is normal to see a few more for a week or two as they come out and die off.
In units and townhouses, cockroaches can move between homes, so tell us if neighbours have them too. A heavy problem may need a second visit, which the crew talks through and we price before it goes ahead. Call 03 7053 9848 to book cockroach control in Ferntree Gully.
