Cockroaches turn up in almost every type of home across Brisbane, from older weatherboards with gaps around the plumbing to newer units with shared bin rooms and communal laundries. They favour warm, damp spots, so kitchens, bathrooms and laundries are usually where the first signs show up, often at night when the lights go off.
A cockroach visit starts with a look around the areas where you have seen activity, plus the usual hiding spots such as behind the fridge, under sinks, inside roof voids and around hot water systems. The crew also checks common entry points like gaps under doors, vents and shared wall cavities, since these are what let cockroaches move between properties in the denser parts of Brisbane.
German cockroaches, which are small and pale brown, tend to stay close to kitchens and bathrooms and can build up numbers quickly in a warm home. Larger American cockroaches are more likely to come in from drains, subfloors or the garden and move through the whole house. Activity often increases over the warmer months, though roof voids and subfloors can stay active year round regardless of the weather outside.
- Kitchens, pantries and areas around the fridge and oven
- Bathrooms, laundries and areas around drains
- Roof voids, subfloors and wall cavities where accessible
- Bin areas, garages and sheds
- Entry points around pipes, vents and weep holes
If you are seeing cockroaches during the day, or in larger numbers than usual, it is worth getting a crew out sooner rather than later. Call 07 3543 7772, describe what you have noticed, and we will book a local team with pricing confirmed before the visit.
