Understanding Cockroaches
Cockroaches belong to the insect order Blattodea. While over 4,600 species exist worldwide, only about 30 infest homes and businesses. In Victoria, the most common pest species include:
● German Cockroach
● American Cockroach
● Oriental Cockroach
● Australian Cockroach
● Smokybrown Cockroach
● Brownbanded Cockroach
Health & Hygiene Risks:
● 🦠 Spread Salmonella, E. coli, and harmful bacteria
● 🧬 Trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children
● 🧼 Contaminate food, surfaces, and storage areas
Behaviors & Adaptability:
● 🦠 Spread Salmonella, E. coli, and harmful bacteria
● 🧬 Trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children
● 🧼 Contaminate food, surfaces, and storage areas
Why Cockroaches Thrive in Melbourne Homes & Businesses
● 🍕 Leftover food, spills, unsealed containers
● 🚿 Leaks, blocked drains, and standing water
● 🧱 Cracks, wall voids, vents, and under-appliance gaps
● 🔌 Warmth near fridges, ovens, dishwashers, and hot water systems
Cockroach Life Cycle
● 
Females produce oothecae (egg capsules), each with 12–50 eggs
● 
Eggs hatch into nymphs and undergo several moults
● 
Full life cycle may range from weeks to over a year, depending on species and environment
Our Comprehensive Cockroach Control Process
Inspection & Identification
We conduct a full site inspection using torches, flushing agents, and sticky traps to locate harbourages and identify the species.
Environmental Management
Improve sanitation, eliminate food and moisture sources, and seal entry points to reducereinfestation risks.
Targeted Treatment Applications
● Residual Surface Sprays for skirting boards, cracks, and crevices
● Dust Insecticides for voids, roof spaces, switchboards, and inaccessible cavities
● Gel Baits designed for specific species and safe for use in homes, schools, and
kitchens
● ULV/Misting Treatments for fast knockdown in large or severe infestations
Monitoring & Follow-Up
Follow-up visits ensure all eggs and nymphs are eliminated and offer adjustments to long-term prevention plans.
