The kitchen is where most cockroach problems start in Brisbane homes. It has everything cockroaches need: crumbs, grease, water from the sink and warm hiding spots behind appliances. Even a very tidy kitchen can have cockroaches living inside cupboard hinges or in the motor space under the fridge. When you call, we ask what you are seeing, give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book goes through the kitchen slowly, looking in the tight spaces cockroaches prefer. They pull out the fridge and stove where possible, check under the sink and look inside the pantry. Then they place gel bait and dust where it will do the most good while staying away from food prep areas.
- Gel bait inside cupboard hinges, drawer runners and corners
- Dust behind kickboards and in the gaps around the dishwasher
- Checks on the fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee machine
- Attention to the sink cabinet, pipes and any leaks
- Tips on food storage, bins and overnight habits
Before the visit, empty the cupboard under the sink and the bottom shelf of the pantry so the crew can reach the corners. Put food into sealed containers and wipe down the benches. Hold off on store-bought sprays for a few days before and after, because they can make cockroaches avoid the bait.
After the treatment, keep benches clear at night, rinse dishes before bed and fix any dripping taps. These small habits make it much harder for cockroaches to settle back in. To book kitchen cockroach treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7768 and we will set up a time that suits you.
