Cockroaches love the warm, humid weather in Redlands. The large ones often come in from gardens, drains and roof spaces, while the small German cockroach lives indoors around kitchens and appliances. Summer storms tend to push more of them inside. Cockroach control treats the places they hide and travel, so you see fewer of them at night and they have less chance to settle into the home.
The crew we book will ask which rooms you see them in and at what time of day. Indoors, the focus is usually kitchen cupboards, behind the fridge and dishwasher, under sinks, bathroom cabinets and laundries. Outside, they treat around drains, garden beds, the base of walls and any spots where cockroaches can get into the house. Droppings that look like ground pepper and a musty smell are common signs.

Before the visit, clear the benches and the cupboards the crew needs to reach, and store food in sealed containers. Try not to use store-bought sprays in the days after a baiting treatment, as they can put cockroaches off the bait. Many homes in Redlands add cockroach control to a tick or general pest visit, which keeps it to one call-out.
