Our specialist cockroach treatment comes with a 12-month warranty against large cockroaches (the ones that generally live outside and come inside “by accident”). Yes, we will eliminate your German cockroach problem but since German cockroach are introduced into building when people bring in infested boxes, furniture, or appliances (often containing cockroach egg cases, or live cockroaches), we do not provide a warranty against future infestation.
Commercial Cockroach control
For restaurants, food companies and other commercial premises, pest control should form part of an ongoing service plan. The aim is to comply with Australian food, health, and safety standards.
You can rely on Central Pest Control to tackle the immediate problem and provide your business with ongoing pest management.
How we get rid of cockroaches…
Where cockroaches are concerned, the smaller the cockroach, the bigger the problem!
The large cockroaches (American and Australian cockroaches) typically live outside and in the sub-floor and drains, coming inside by accident or looking for food. These cockroaches can be eliminated and prevented from entering through a complete treatment around and under the home. However, the smaller cockroach species which live inside are a different problem.
The smaller German cockroach (up to about 1.5 cm) hide in groups in the smallest of places e.g. cracks & crevices in cupboards, under fridges, dishwashers, requiring warm moist areas to breed.
90% of the nesting population will remain hidden. At Central Pest Control we use specialised sprays. The insecticide attaches to the body of a cockroach when they walk across it. When an infected cockroach takes the insecticide back to the nest, it kills the rest of the population. Although you will see a big impact straight away, for large infestations control can take up to a week or more. And, may require more than one visit. For commercial customers we offer regular service programs with warranties lasting between services.
