Cockroach Pest Control
It’s an old cockroach cliche now – if we had a nuclear blast that destroyed life on Earth, they’d be the only species to survive – that would be a hard fact to prove, but cockroaches have been around virtually unchanged for millions of years, and we still haven’t exterminated them from the planet. While there are more than 4,000 roach species globally, they’re not all pests.
There are only about four cockroach species in Australia that are considered pests and health hazards and need treatment and removal when they cause an infestation in our homes and workplaces in Geelong.
Cockroaches come in all shapes and sizes with the world’s heaviest in Australia – the giant burrowing cockroach – this little beast can grow to 9 cm and weigh over 30 grams, so we’re lucky it’s not a pest! There are three main species of cockroach pests found in infestations in houses and businesses in Australia, including the German, Australian, and American cockroaches.

Why Are Cockroaches So Harmful?
Most people shudder when you mention a cockroach infestation because these creatures are associated with dirt, filth and unhygienic environments and people don’t want them in their Geelong homes.
The cockroaches’ habits of feeding and nesting causing an infestation means they pick up and carry a wide range of pathogens, bacteria and viruses that can be transmitted to the food we eat and the surfaces on which we prepare meals.
Cockroaches come out at night and crawl on surfaces and food left out of refrigerators (bowls of fruit, a biscuit tin left open, e.g.) leaving a trail of germs and disease in Geelong homes.
