Cockroaches enter homes to find shelter, water and food. Once they have infested an area they can multiply quickly, posing a threat to your comfort and health. It is important to get rid of Cockroaches before a serious infestation occurs.

Cockroaches are known to carry bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes.   They are also known to carry salmonella. In largely infested sites they really STINK, we are able to smell them when we are at the front door.

There are a number of ways that you, the homeowner, can help to prevent Cockroaches. Some of these include:

• Cleaning
• Proper food storage
• Sealing holes and cracks
• Limiting moisture in the home
• Don’t leave unwashed dishes in the sink
• Starving them of food will greatly reduce Cockroach numbers

For more information on how you can help keep cockroaches out, please get in contact with us, we are happy to give FREE ADVICE.

When you engage Dylan Cope’s Pest Control, we assess the infestation and determine the best possible treatment for the types of Cockroaches in your home. Our treatments are perfectly safe for humans and pets and environmentally friendly.

Steps to Controlling Cockroaches

During your treatment we are looking for signs of Cockroaches. We look for live and dead cockroaches, droppings and egg capsules in areas that they are attracted to.

This includes:

• Behind stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, appliances, cupboards and sinks.
• Wet areas such as bathroom and laundry in cabinets and drawers.

If your dwelling has a subfloor or roof void, they are inspected to determine the extent of the cockroach infestation and treated accordingly.
