Cockroaches are the pest we hear about most in Milton. The large brown ones live in drains, gardens, subfloors and roof spaces and wander inside at night, especially after rain. The small German cockroaches live inside kitchens and bathrooms and breed in the gaps of cupboards and appliances. Both are common here, thanks to the warm, humid weather and the steady supply of food from nearby cafes, bins and game nights at the stadium.
Tell us which kind you are seeing, where and how often. For German cockroaches, the crew places bait gel in cupboard hinges, drawer runners, the back of appliances and any crack near food and water, and may add a growth inhibitor to stop young ones from breeding. For the larger cockroaches, they treat drains, bin areas, the subfloor, the roof space and the base of external walls where they come in.

Before the visit, empty the cupboards under the sinks, clear the benches and pack food away. Hold off on store-bought sprays in the days before, as they can push cockroaches deeper into walls and away from the bait. After the treatment, you may see a few more for a day or two as they come out to feed, which is normal.
