Cockroaches are one of the more common calls we take for Windsor, usually starting with a sighting in a kitchen at night or a cluster found behind a fridge or under a sink. Once one is spotted, there are almost always more nearby, tucked into cracks, behind appliances or inside wall cavities.
The crew we book treats the areas cockroaches use to move and hide, not just the spot where one was seen. That means skirting boards, cupboard hinges, around pipework and behind large appliances. In older homes near Windsor, subfloor vents and gaps around stumps often need attention too, since they give cockroaches a way in from outside.
- Kitchens, including behind fridges and under sinks
- Bathrooms and laundries
- Roof and subfloor voids
- Skirting boards and door frames
- Bin storage areas for units and townhouses
After the visit, wiping down benchtops, picking up pet food overnight and breaking down cardboard boxes rather than stacked against a wall all help, since cockroaches use these as food and shelter. If you live in a unit or townhouse around Windsor, mention that to the crew, since shared walls, lift wells and bin chutes sometimes mean an entry point sits outside your own front door. Kitchens with older cabinetry, where gaps behind drawers and under sinks are common, often need closer attention than newer fitted kitchens. Call again if activity has not settled down a couple of weeks after the visit, so the crew booked for Windsor can take another look and check whether a spot was missed the first time.
You are given a price before the crew starts, and told what to expect afterwards, including how long to keep pets away from treated areas. To book a cockroach visit for your part of Windsor, call 07 3543 7766.
