Cockroach Control Sunshine Coast
Cockroach Control Sunshine Coast: Zero Termite and Pest offer expert advice and support for effective and reliable cockroach control on the Sunshine Coast.
Cockroaches are one of those household and yard pests that tend to make us all cringe. They like to hide anywhere that is dark and damp such as, near food preparation areas, in kitchen cupboards, under sinks, behind the fridge in drains and with areas with easy access to food. No matter how clean your house, cockroaches will invade! Cockroaches are generally not seen during the daytime hours and like to forage under the cover of darkness. If you see a cockroach or two, there is a good chance that there are many more. This is where our expert Zero Termite and Pest technicians come in!

Do I Need Cockroach Control?
It is usually easier to spot the signs of a cockroach problem than the actual insect pest itself. They are mostly nocturnal and come out to feed mostly at night.
Keep an eye out for these cockroach infestation signs:
Unusual smell: A cockroach infestation will produce a lingering and unpleasant odour that will affect the items they touch.
Cockroach droppings: Cockroaches will produce small, brown/black cylindrical droppings.
Smear marks: If there is enough water, cockroaches will produce brown, irregular shaped smear marks. Check for marks on horizontal surfaces where cockroaches will scuttle along.
Shed skins: Cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature to adults. These skins are usually found close to where the cockroaches are nesting.
Don’t know if you’ve got an infestation? A pest inspection is the service for you. All our Pest inspections are in compliance with the requirements of the Australian Standard.
Why do I have Cockroaches?
Cockroach Control Sunshine Coast: Cockroaches have simple needs- food, water, shelter and warmth.
Below are some of the reasons you may have a cockroach problem:
Food: Cockroaches are attracted to food, making your kitchen the ideal location for an infestation. Dirty dishes, open food storage and crumbs provide a consistent and reliable food source that will have cockroaches coming back for more.
Ensure you regularly clean the kitchen area, clean the residue off your food that leaves a sticky residue. Store food in an airtight container and fruit in the fridge to reduce the chance of a cockroach infestation!
Heat and Humidity: Cockroaches thrive in heat and humidity. They love dark and undisturbed spaces, so you can often find them in basements, in the dark corners of cabinets, and underneath large appliances, refrigerators and air-conditioning units.
Moisture: Cockroaches need moisture to survive to make leaky pipes and faucets perfect for cockroach survival. Therefore, you often see them in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and under refrigerators.
Ensure you fix leaky pipe and plumbing and keep moisture-rich areas as dry as possible.
Prevention Tips
- Keep bins clean and sealed
- Keep areas liquid and crumb-free and food in airtight containers
