How to Get Rid of Cockroaches in Sydney Homes and Businesses

Are you finding cockroaches running out of control in your kitchen or office meal room?  

This short article will show you how to get cockroach control Sydney jobs done safely and give you some tips to prevent their return to your home or business.

German Cockroach Management

The most prolific species of cockroach in the world is the German Cockroach, mainly due to their fast breeding habits and uncanny ability to adapt to most, if not any, habitat. They also consume anything humans do as well as wallpaper, curtains, leather and other materials which are considered organic. They tend to be found inside and prefer staying where food and water is easily available.

Thus places like the kitchen, pantry and bathrooms are hotspots. The German cockroach is unable to fly and carry their Ootheca, which is their egg capsules until they reach adulthood which is uncharacteristic compared to other species.

"We first used A1 Pest Control a few years ago when we noticed a few termites under a wine barrell in the rear yard of our home. We asked A1 Pest Control Sydney to pay us a visit to have a thorough termite inspection of our home. Bruce and his crew were on time, and very well presented. They explained how they would get rid of the termite infestation using a low toxic method and how their Thermal cameras worked, It worked very well and now we can sleep at night!"

"We have been using Bruce form A1 Pest Control for over 4 years now. We bought our new house on the Hills Area, and moved in. our neighbours had problem with rodents and spiders so they are using A1 next door. I asked them if they could come over and treat our house too, as i didn't want to chase pest around our home. The service was not only effective, but carried out without any smelly fumes that we have experienced in our last house. They solved problem next door and I haven't seen a bug since."
