Cockroach Control
Remove all dead cockroaches after treatment as females may be carrying eggs that could still hatch.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
OUR TREATMENT METHODS ARE SAFE TO USE, AS WE FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTION OF PRODUCTS BEING APPLIED, RECOMMENDED BY MANUFACTURES.
COST:
Starting from $99+GST. Additional cost depending on type of treatment, the level and type of infestation, problem areas and expected warranty. Every place is different we may treat your property once and you may have a very successful results or you might need ongoing maintenance for heavy infestation so please call to discuss levels of infestation and size of property.
For heavy infestations more than one treatment may be required have a look at our family package deals for ongoing maintenance or we can design a programme to suit the severity of infestation on yours and your neighbouring properties. Persistence and patience is the key for effective pest control.
PREP AREA:
For best results, wash or wipe down surfaces to remove dust and dirt before we treat. If the areas to be treated are dusty or greasy it is good practice to clean these down first to prevent runs and for the best effect of the treatment.
Cockroaches:
Cockroaches are flat beetle like insects that are often associated with human habitation. The pest species are well adapted to live in and around homes and other buildings.
German Cockroaches -They are brown in colour with two dark stripes running down the length of the thorax (body segment near the head). German cockroaches are fast breeders having 3-4 generations per year and time from egg to adult in summer is as little as 40 days, are often found in kitchens and sculleries; in areas that are warm and moist such as behind ovens, fridges, freezers and under sinks. If German cockroaches are found in other areas of a house it usually indicates a large population.
American Cockroaches- are up to 4 cm long and has a yellow band around the thorax. American cockroaches mature much more slowly than German roaches taking 6-12 months; however a female may lay as many as 50 egg cases containing as many as 25 eggs each so nymph numbers can rise rapidly in certain conditions. In warm climates of the North Island Americans can live outdoors as well as indoors. They will live in drier conditions of wall cavities and sub-floors but are often found around sewers and drains. If they move from sewers to food or food preparation areas they can spread disease organisms.
Gisborne Cockroaches- are also commonly associated with people and can be distinguished from the German by its distinct pale stripes down either side. The native Bush cockroach can be mistaken for the Gisborne but its stripes are less distinct and it is much smaller the adult Gisborne.
Native Bush Cockroaches: are small (up to 15 mm) cockroaches that live in leaf litter and dark damp places in the bush and gardens. They are not usually regarded as pests but will wander indoors on occasions.
Roaches prefer warm, moist and sheltered areas close to food and water. They can however, survive in extremes of heat (Bakers ovens), extremes of cold (Deep freezes) withstand over 2000 times more radiation than human beings and still reproduce and adapt.
Our Treatment Methods:
Baiting – as spot treatment in areas where cockroaches have been seen, particularly when treating for German cockroaches.
Cracks and Crevices residual spray treatment- using insecticide and insect growth regulators which penetrate into the nooks and crannies where cockroaches hide. Around and behind, ovens, washers, fridges, freezers, cupboards and all suspected areas of harbourage.
Monitoring - will give early indication and control of any re-infestation. Because the traps do not contain a toxin and are certified organic, they can safely be used in sensitive areas such as kitchens, larders and other areas where food is handled or stored.
Recommendations:
Eliminate food and water sources. Clean up at the end of the day. Put all food in sealed containers, fridge or freezers. Remove garbage in sealed bags.
Treatment of a cockroach infestation can be difficult because the eggs and egg cases are often laid in difficult to treat cracks and crevices. Egg cases also provide protection from insecticides. Therefore, it is important that treatment is maintained for at least three months after you stop seeing cockroaches. With persistence and patience you can get rid of cockroaches and keep them away.
Fill in cracks and crevices that give cockroaches dark moist places to hide during the day.
