Among the commonly found pests in your home, cockroaches are up there with the most dreadful. Why? Because they carry diseases such as dysentery, gastro, salmonella, and other infections.

Cockroaches also have an insufferable odor, that contaminates food and other household items.

They are stubborn creatures who can live in extremely adverse conditions. To control them, you need cockroach control performed by Southern Suburbs Pest Control Adelaide.

Why are they called pests?

Cockroaches are pests because theyare highly resilient and they breed rapidly. This means it is difficult to control them once they manifest in your home.

It’s important to remove cockroaches when you find the first trace of their presence in your home.

Once their population increases beyond a limit, household efforts will not work. They can only be eradicated by following a systematic approach provided by a licensed pest controller, and this is why we are here to help!

These creepy creatures can be quite disturbing for some people, meaning their manifestation must be controlled.

Cockroach species

There are more than 4500 species of cockroaches in the world. Out of that number, around 450 are found in Australia. Thankfully, only a select few of them are called pests. The rest do not live near human habitat.

Three species are commonly found in Australian households: Australian cockroach, German cockroach, and the American cockroach.

What attracts cockroaches?

If your home offers warm and moist places to hide and there is a lot of food, then cockroaches will seek out that environment. You do not see them in the daytime as they are nocturnal creatures. However, if you see a few cockroaches in the daylight, it means their number has reached an alarming level.

Cockroaches are attracted to leftover food, meaning, it is essential to keep your kitchen clean. They can also hide in the drainpipes of the kitchen sink and washbasin.

When you call our professionals for cockroach removal in Adelaide, they begin by finding out the species of cockroach in your house. From there, our experts will design the best treatment plan.

A low-volume mist controls their manifestation in the external areas. For inside we use targeted insecticides, cockroach gel and sticky traps.
