Why Bother with Cockroach Control? Disease: Cockroaches can carry disease-causing bacteria, spreading salmonella, dysentery, gastroenteritis and diarrhoea among others.

Cockroach control helps keep the youngest, oldest and most vulnerable members of your family safe. Asthma and allergies: Cockroaches can also be responsible for asthmatic reactions. Children, the elderly and people prone to bronchial ailments can react to the discarded fragments of "skin" when cockroaches moult. Learn more about cockroach biology here... Adaptability: Every property is at risk from a cockroach infestation. Almost any organic matter is food for cockroaches, and they are great hitch-hikers and fliers, spreading rapidly. Breeding success: They are rapid breeders; just a couple of cockroaches can turn into huge numbers in just a few weeks. Continued sightings of adult and juvenile cockroaches is a fairly good sign that they are breeding nearby.
: This is the first step in a cockroach control program. Look for live or dead cockroaches, their droppings or egg cases in environments which attract them, such as:
The kitchen area (in the cupboards, under sinks and around appliances like the refrigerator, dishwasher, stove and microwave oven

Avoid storing unnecessary items, like cardboard boxes, plastic bags from the supermarket and old toys or clothes.
