Here are some signs that you have a cockroach infestation.

If you see a cockroach on your property you can almost guarantee that you have an infestation on hand. But what are some other signs to look for?

• Droppings – Cock roach Dropping resembles ground coffee or black pepper.
• Skin Sheds – Roaches will moult between 10-15 times in their life leaving behind the skin sheds
• Egg capsules – roaches produce an egg sac called an ootheca that contains many smaller eggs.
• Smear marks – If there is any moisture around roaches will produce irregular-shaped brown smear marks. 
• Unpleasant odour – A musty, pungent scent that accompanies roach infestations might get stronger over time

Cockroaches can lay between 15 – 50 eggs in a single ootheca meaning that they can multiply rapidly. This is why if you see any of the signs above we recommend you contact Get Pest Control right away before it becomes a huge problem.

Cockroach Control treatments options

We use the best bait treatments and the latest pesticide sprays to get rid of any cockroach problem quickly and effectively. 

Below we list some of the chemical approaches we take when targeting cockroaches:

• Insecticidal dust – A fine powder called insecticidal dust is used to treat roach-inhabited regions. It sticks to their body, destroying the waxy covering that serves as protection and ultimately leading to their demise.

• Wet chemical sprays – The solvent-based cockroach sprays have small droplets that swiftly travel across the waxy surface of the cockroach and pierce the cuticle, allowing the poison to enter the insect for a “quick kill.”

• Cockroach gels – There are several different insecticide formulations for cockroach gel baits that are available to combat these pests. The technique lures them into eating the gel bait, which they mistake for food and ingest the poison contained inside causing them to die in a short period of time

Get Pest Control partners use a combination of these treatments in conjunction with each other to ensure a quick solution to your problem
