Professional Pest Control for Cockroaches – Brisbane & Northside
As with all our treatments, we carry out our inspection before the cockroach treatment to identify the source of the infestation and determine what actions can be taken to prevent it occurring again. In the case of German cockroaches and brown-banded cockroaches it is very important to try and find all the locations they are hiding in the home.
Pest control for large cockroaches includes spraying around the perimeter of the building and any hotspots and entry points. Insecticide powder may be blown into the roof void. Sometimes we use cockroach bait in the areas where we cannot spray.
Pest control for small cockroach species requires a different protocol and we follow our German cockroach treatment process.
German Cockroach Pest Control
To deal with German cockroaches we use a combination of cockroach baits, non-repellent sprays and dusts. If we find their harbourages we will treat them directly. Sometimes they can be located in areas we cannot spray (such as electrical equipment), which is when we use baits or dusts. Sometimes we cannot find all their hiding places and so instead we place cockroach bait is areas of activity. The foraging cockroaches eat the bait returning to their harbourage before they die. Other cockroaches eat their droppings, vomit and even their dead bodies, therefore also ingesting the bait. As a result, the bait is spread through the whole population.
What to expect with our cockroach treatments?
With sprays, you will start to see dead bodies within an hour, with a significant drop in the population within 24 hours. The treatment will continue working for several months.
With baits, it may take 24 hours before the first cockroaches die and up to a week or more to gain complete population control. For German cockroach infestations, more than one visit may be required to top up the treatment.
Types of Cockroaches in Brisbane Homes & Businesses
The common pest cockroaches in Brisbane are:
- Large cockroach species
- American cockroach
- Australian cockroach
- Oriental cockroach
- Smoky brown cockroach
- Small cockroach species
- German cockroach
- Brown banded cockroach
There are two types of cockroaches in Brisbane, the large cockroaches (American and Australian cockroaches), which tend to live outside and come inside “by accident” and the small cockroaches (German and brown-banded cockroaches), which only live inside.
As they live in very different locations, the type of treatment required for the two different types of cockroaches are also different.
Why cockroaches are a serious health threat?
Cockroaches live in a range of dirty areas, such as sewers, drains and garbage bins. They pick up a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi, which can then be transferred to humans when then walk across food preparation surfaces. They actually carry a wide range of diseases, but the most common are the ones that cause gut problems such as Salmonella and E.coli.
Their droppings and shed skins (they moult several times during their lifetime) are fully of allergens. So, if you have a cockroach infestation, the amount of allergens can build up and cause allergic reactions. Research has shown that cockroaches are one of the major causes of asthma in some inner-city tower blocks.

Tips for Preventing Cockroach Infestations
Cockroaches come inside buildings looking for food and water. So, if you can eliminate potential food sources, you will make your home The main actions homeowners and businesses can take to prevent cockroach problems is to have good hygiene practices:
- Clear away dirty dishes immediately after meals
- Clear up food spills
- Make sure oven and grill are clean
- Put open food packets in sealed containers
- Make sure garbage is placed in bags and put in bins with a tight-fitting lid
- Don’t leave petfood out
For large cockroaches that may be coming in from outside, make sure doors, windows and insect screens are well-fitted, and any gaps from the outside are filled.
For small cockroach species, especially German cockroach species, make sure there are no leaks in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry (they like moisture).
