Infestations by cockroaches can spread quickly, especially in warm, moist areas such as residential and commercial properties in Sydney.

We specialise in controlling cockroaches by targeting all their hiding places—making your property hygienic, secure, and free from disease-carrying insects.
Signs of Cockroach Infestation in Your Property
Live or dead cockroaches
A significant indicator of a severe infestation is the presence of live cockroaches fleeing at night or dead ones during the day, which requires an effective solution for cockroach removal. These pests prefer to hide in dark areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and storage rooms.
Black droppings
Small, black droppings that look like ground pepper or coffee grounds are a frequent clue that the most common species of cockroach is present. You will typically locate them in the vicinity of food or water supplies, inside cabinets, and along floor corners.
Egg cases
Oothecae, or cockroach egg casings, look like little, dark brown capsules, indicating a pest infestation. They are commonly located in hard-to-reach areas, such as under appliances, within drawers, or along cracks and crevices.
Musty smell
Persistent, oily, or musty odours are indicative of a substantial cockroach infestation of common species. This unpleasant odour is caused by cockroach droppings and bodily fluids, which may develop as the infestation spreads.
Common Cockroach Species in Sydney
German Cockroaches
The German cockroach is Sydney’s common roach: tiny, light brown, fast breeders that nest in hot, damp spots like cabinets, behind fridges and sinks. Our German cockroach control seals entry points and treats harborage sites.
Brown Banded Cockroach
Brown-banded cockroaches are smaller, lighter in colour, and favour drier conditions than the German cockroaches. They will be mostly found in bedrooms, lounges, and office premises, particularly warm electronic equipment, and in furniture.
American Cockroach
The American cockroach is among the largest roaches in Sydney. They enjoy warm, humid environments like the basement, drains, and sewers and can enter a house or other buildings through plumbing and floor vents.
Australian Cockroach
Australian cockroaches are medium-sized with yellow marks. Mostly found outside, they may also find their way into the house in search of food storage and shelter. They are normally located in wall cavities, beneath mulch, or in garden litter.
Smoky Brown Cockroach
This type is dark brown and loves humid and outdoor conditions. Smoky brown cockroaches are good fliers and are likely to get into homes through a roof cavity or an open window, especially in warmer weather or following rain.

Health Risks Caused by Cockroaches
Bacteria transmission
Cockroaches spread bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli everywhere as they walk and crawl on surfaces, especially in areas where cockroaches eat. This is capable of causing food poisoning as well as other gastrointestinal infections in humans, making it important to prevent cockroaches.
Triggering asthma/allergies
In under‑ventilated areas, especially for children, the elderly or those with respiratory conditions, cockroach faeces or saliva can trigger allergies and worsen asthma symptoms. Effective cockroach control and thorough cleaning can reduce allergen levels and improve indoor air quality.
Contaminating food and surfaces
Cockroaches are among the most common pests and contaminants of food, kitchen utensils, and food preparation surfaces. They carry pathogens that render stored food unsafe and pose elevated risks of illness due to accidental ingestion or physical contact.
How We Remove Cockroaches from Your Property
Advanced tools
We employ moisture detectors, ridding agents, and detectors to assist us in identifying cockroach nests and cockroach problems concealed within walls, floors, and kitchen premises.
Chemical treatments
The insecticidal gels and residual sprays used by our licensed technicians are effective in eradicating cockroach colonies, but are safe for your family and pets.
Non-chemical methods
In sensitive premises, we provide traps, sanitation tips, and exclusion methods for cockroach control without the use of chemicals.
Multiple Treatments
Depending on the severity of infestations, we can use several visits to disrupt or break breeding cycles, check progress, and provide treatments until the problem stops.

Our Step-by-Step Cockroach Treatment Process
Cockroach Inspection
We carefully search your premises to identify the nesting sites, breeding sites, and entry points, and this will form the cornerstone of our cockroach pest control treatment regime, providing relief from infestation. This comprehensive inspection ensures our subsequent treatments target every harbourage for maximum effectiveness.
Cockroach Treatment Plan
Depending on our findings, we will create a tailored solution with safe and viable methods to get rid of cockroaches in a way that causes minimal interference to your premises. Our cockroach pest control strategy includes selecting appropriate tools and chemicals to address the exact species and level of infestation found.
Cockroach Extermination
With the help of gels, sprays, and traps, we can effectively kill cockroaches in all stages of their life cycle, but they do not pose any risk to residents and pets as well as their properties.
Post Treatment Disinfection
Infected areas are disinfected to eliminate bacteria, faecal material, and allergens to enhance hygiene and lessen the attractiveness to cockroaches reinfesting the living environment.

How to Prevent Cockroach Infestations
Seal gaps and cracks
Seal cracks or openings that are around the windows, doors, and pipes with sealant or mesh. Cockroaches can wiggle through small cracks; therefore, blocking such holes is essential in preventing their entry.
Maintain kitchen hygiene
Maintain clean benchtops, sinks, and floors without crumbs or grease, and ensure garbage containers are sealed. Cockroaches feed on food particles, and therefore, cleaning is essential in decreasing their population.
Fix the leakage
Cockroaches require moisture to live. Do not ignore leaking taps, pipes, and drainage systems. This procedure also prevents the nesting of the most likely German cockroaches by addressing excessive humidity in your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry.
Store food properly
Store food in airtight containers and do not leave pet food outside. Exposed food welcomes cockroaches, contributing to the growth of the cockroach population, and the lack of proper organisation of storage enhances the risk of food contamination.
