Know the signs
Signs you have cockroaches
Cockroaches spend the day hidden in warm, dark gaps, so the first clues are often what they leave behind. Look out for:
- Droppings: pepper-like specks from smaller species, or larger pellets from bigger cockroaches.
- Egg cases: small brown capsules, often left in cracks and corners.
- Smear marks: dark marks along walls, edges and gaps where they travel.
- Odour: a musty, oily smell that often gets stronger as numbers grow.
- Shed skins: pale, empty casings left behind as young cockroaches grow.
- Chewed packaging: damage to cardboard, paper and food packaging.
- Live cockroaches at night: they're mostly active after dark, so daytime sightings often point to a larger infestation.

Types of cockroaches we treat in Burpengary East and Moreton Bay
German Cockroaches
About 12–15 mm long and light brown, with two dark stripes behind the head. Usually found indoors in kitchens and bathrooms, near appliances, cupboards and plumbing. They breed faster than other common species, so infestations can build quickly.
American Cockroaches
About 35–40 mm long and reddish-brown, with a pale band around the edge of the shield behind the head. Often found in drains, sewers, subfloors and garages, and can move indoors from there. They can fly in warm weather.
Australian Cockroaches
About 30–35 mm long and reddish-brown, with yellow markings on the edge of the shield behind the head and along the front edges of the wings. They live outdoors in mulch, leaf litter and woodpiles, and often come inside in warm, humid weather.
Oriental Cockroaches
About 25 mm long and glossy dark brown to black. They live in cool, damp areas such as drains and subfloors, so fixing leaks and damp spots helps make a property less inviting.
We treat all types of cockroaches, including smoky-brown and brown-banded cockroaches.
Our process
How we get rid of cockroaches
Spraying the cockroaches you can see may leave their hiding places untouched. Our cockroach treatment follows three steps.
Inspection
We identify the species, find where the cockroaches are hiding and how they're getting in, and work out what's attracting them to your property.
Treatment
The treatment depends on the species and where they're hiding. It can include one or more of these methods:
- Gel baits
- A bait cockroaches feed on, placed in cracks and crevices near where they feed, especially indoors.
- Sprays
- A liquid treatment applied along entry points and hiding spots.
- Insecticidal dust
- A fine powder for wall voids, roof voids and other hard-to-reach spaces.
Kids and pets can stay at home. Just keep them away from treated areas for the first 2 hours after treatment.
Prevention advice
We give you practical recommendations for your property, such as gaps to seal, leaks to fix and changes to food and rubbish storage, to help keep cockroaches from coming back.

Prevention
How to keep cockroaches out
Cockroaches need food, water and shelter, so taking those away makes your property less inviting. Activity tends to rise in South East Queensland's warm, humid months, when these habits matter most.
- Seal food and pet food, and don't leave either out overnight
- Clean up crumbs and grease, including behind and under appliances
- Fix dripping taps and leaks
- Keep bins lidded
- Cut down on cardboard clutter, where cockroaches can shelter
- Seal gaps around pipes and cabinets
- Use drain covers
- Keep mulch and leaf litter back from the house
- Check deliveries and second-hand appliances before bringing them inside
Ants are another common kitchen pest, and many of the same habits help keep them away. Learn about our ant treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Cockroach treatment FAQs
Not always, but it's worth checking for other signs. A single large cockroach may have wandered in from outside, but cockroaches are mostly active at night and hide during the day, so a few sightings can mean more are hidden nearby. If you also find droppings, egg cases, smear marks or a musty smell, or you see cockroaches during the day, treatment is worth considering.
Kids and pets can stay at home. Just keep them away from treated areas for the first 2 hours after treatment. All products we use are registered with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).

Cockroaches usually keep coming back because the places where they hide and breed haven't been treated, or because food, water and shelter are still available. Supermarket sprays mostly kill the cockroaches they touch. They can scatter the rest into new hiding spots and often miss where cockroaches breed. German cockroaches have also developed resistance to some common insecticides. That's why we combine a targeted treatment with practical prevention advice.
Cockroach activity around Burpengary is typically highest in the warmer, more humid months, from spring through summer. Warm, wet weather can bring outdoor species such as Australian and American cockroaches inside, while German cockroaches live indoors and can be active all year.
