Why Cockroaches Keep Coming Back
German cockroaches — the small brown ones in kitchens — breed entirely indoors, hiding in appliances, cracks and cupboard hinges wherever there's warmth and moisture. A colony can go from a few stowaways in a grocery box to hundreds in weeks.
Supermarket sprays kill the cockroaches you can see, but the nest and the egg cases survive. That's why DIY treatments feel like they work for a fortnight, then the problem is back — usually worse.
Professional gels and baits work differently: cockroaches carry the treatment back into the harbourages, wiping out the colony where it breeds.
One female German cockroach and her offspring can produce thousands of cockroaches in a single year — early treatment matters.

Cockroach FAQ
Common Questions
Why do I still see cockroaches after using supermarket sprays?
Surface sprays only kill the cockroaches that walk over them — the colony and its egg cases stay protected inside appliances, wall cavities and cupboard hinges. Worse, repellent sprays can scatter cockroaches into new hiding spots. Professional gels and baits are carried back into the nest and eliminate the source.
Are cockroach treatments safe for my kitchen, kids and pets?
Yes. Modern gel baits are applied as tiny dots in cracks, hinges and appliance housings — out of reach of children and pets, and away from food and surfaces. We'll tell you if anything needs to be covered or avoided on the day.
How long does a cockroach treatment take to work?
You'll see a big drop within days. For established German cockroach infestations, expect activity to keep declining over two to three weeks as baits work through the colony — heavy infestations sometimes need a follow-up visit.
Do I need to empty my cupboards before treatment?
Usually not. Gel baits go into hinges, corners and cracks rather than on shelves. If your infestation needs a spray treatment in specific areas, we'll let you know exactly what to prepare when you book.
How do I stop cockroaches coming back?
Fix moisture issues, keep food sealed, empty bins nightly and vacuum regularly. For units, cafes and older homes where reinfestation pressure is high, a regular treatment plan keeps numbers at zero.
