Cockroaches are one of the most common calls we take for Melbourne, especially in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries where warmth and moisture give them what they need. German cockroaches favour small, tight gaps near appliances and plumbing, while larger species tend to move in from outside through gaps around doors and drains, particularly during warmer months when activity picks up across inner Melbourne.
Because so many homes in Melbourne share walls or sit close together, cockroaches can move between properties along shared plumbing and subfloors, which means a problem in one unit or terrace can quietly spread to a neighbour before anyone notices. The crew we book treats the areas where activity has been seen, including behind appliances, under sinks and along skirting boards, rather than a single quick spray through the middle of a room. Where the property backs onto a laneway or shares a wall with a rental next door, that is worth mentioning on the phone too.
Tell us on the phone where you have seen them and roughly how often, and we will give you a price before anything is booked. Same-day or next-day appointments come up where the run allows, and the crew will flag if a second visit some weeks later is worth booking for heavier activity.
