The warmer months are starting to attract common pests like cockroaches to homes in Benowa on the Gold Coast.
Recently we conducted a pest control service at a home in Benowa where cockroaches had started infesting the property inside and out. Despite the fact the home was clean and tidy, these pests had found a home in the yard and had started entering the home.
Fortunately, we were able to locate the nest and treat this to stop the cockroaches with an effective treatment service using our Benowa Pest Control Services.
Cockroach Control Benowa
Cockroaches are well known for being found in homes in Benowa. There are a number of different species found in Australia that can quickly infest a home or business during the Spring and Summer months.
These pests pose a health risk to people by contaminating the living area of a home, food and causing allergic reactions in people who suffer from asthma or breathing difficulties.
These pests can multiply at a rapid rate so it’s important to have them stopped with a professional pest control service. Retail products from Bunnings and other stores do not have the full toxicity to effectively stop cockroaches and are often expensive to buy.
How do you treat for cockroaches?
When your Technician arrives at your home, they will start by conducting a full inspection of the property to learn where the cockroaches are coming from and the size of the problem.
Often, homeowners are unaware of the size of the issue as these pests can hide unseen. Once located, your Technician will develop the correct treatment method to stop these pests and prevent them from re-entering your home.
This will include treatment applied to the nest or harbourage area of the cockroaches, applying a barrier treatment to the perimeter of the home. Treatment will then be applied to the wet areas of the home including the bathroom, toilets and kitchen. If required, we will also apply treatment to bedrooms and living areas.
