Cockroach Sprays & German Cockroach Pest Control Services

Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in our homes as they favour similar living conditions to those that humans create. Cockroaches will eat almost any organic matter. They also breed very quickly creating severe infestations in a sort period of time if not treated correctly.

Cockroaches tend to be nocturnal and favour areas that have moisture, darkness, warmth as well as a food source. Signs to look for that cockroaches are present in your home or business, the presence of egg cases, faecal pellets and cast off nymphal (young cockroach) skin. Cockroaches will thrive in dirty, unclean environments however clean, hygienic premises will not preclude cockroaches from being present as any scrap of food, dirty dishes or rubbish will attract them.

Get rid of Cockroaches in your home or business:

The big problem with cockroaches is their ability to spread diseases. The fact that they live and move throughout sewers, drains and garbage, brings them into contact with disease organisms such as salmonella which may cause gastroenteritis, dysentery, tuberculosis, hepatitis and typhoid fever. They can also carry viruses.

Inspection

A thorough inspection of the premises is undertaken by a Perimeter Pest Control technician to locate any form of cockroach activity. Sighting of cockroaches as well as evidence of their activity such as faecal droppings, skin shedding etc will give us information as to the degree of infestation present.

Treatment

Perimeter Pest Control have at our disposal, a range of dedicated liquid treatments, gels and dusts to eliminate cockroaches. These treatments are quite long lasting and quite harmless to mammals (humans and pets), but are lethal to cockroaches. Where sprays are not practical, such as around electrical wiring, we would then use a permethrin dust or gel to eliminate all cockroaches.

As mentioned earlier, cockroaches do present a danger to you and your family or your business and employees so if you have any queries, or would like further information on the elimination of cockroaches, please contact us on 0427 571 447

Testimonials

I just had a termite chemical barrier put in place. Shane called around promptly to assess the site and quote. He kept me informed on when he could do the job and what was involved and arrived on time to get it done. Price was good and I found Shane to be very professional, friendly and courteous.

- Gráinne Myles

Testimonials

From my wife's perspective, as a woman, they were very respectful and informative. They fill her in on everything and don’t treat her like "well you’re just a woman, who cares, and ring me". They leave her with all the information verbally and she tells me when I come home from work. It’s a major plus.

Testimonials

He’s always been open and honest and we trust him. What you see is what you get. You can tell just by speaking to him that he was an honest fella. So I decided to ask him to do it then and there. I didn’t even know the price yet.

Testimonials

Anytime I've asked about anything that’s come up. He's been happy to come out and help me with it, talk me through the options and come up with a plan.

- Commercial client

Testimonials

I've dealt with a lot of pest companies in the past. Some large organisations and some sole traders. I found them (Perimeter) easier to deal with, faster to respond. In that regard, it made more sense for me to work with them. I asked for quotes from some larger organisations and they didn’t even provide the quote on time.
