Cockroaches are a problem because they contaminate food, utensils and furnishings, and may transmit many diseases such as gastroenteritis and dysentery. Large infestations often create an unpleasant smell. They like warm damp conditions and will feed from rubbish bins, kitchen cupboards, drainage areas and even sewers.

Termimesh Pest Management will identify the species of cockroach and provide a management regime for their control. Our treatments target preventing juvenile cockroaches developing and thus destroying the breeding cycle.

The key to long-term management of cockroaches is to make the environment less conducive as a habitat, by reducing sources of food, water and shelter available to them.

TIPS FOR HOMEOWNER:

• The main contribution homeowners can make is careful hygiene i.e. cleanliness in the house and lack of food scraps.
• Thorough cleaning of all surfaces in food handling and food preparation areas.
• Tightly sealing all containers, particularly those in pantries and cupboards.
• Removing breadcrumbs from the toaster.
• Cleaning the floor under and behind your refrigerator.
