Cockroach Control: 5 frequently asked questions
How long does cockroach treatment take to work?
You'll usually see fewer cockroaches within days. Complete control normally takes 2–6 weeks because eggs hatch after the first treatment, which is why follow-ups are included.
Is the treatment safe for children?
Yes. Gel baits are placed in cracks out of reach, and we'll tell you when rooms are safe to use again.
My neighbours have cockroaches too. What now?
In blocks of flats, the best results come from treating neighbouring flats together. We can coordinate with your landlord or managing agent.
Why do I only see cockroaches at night?
Cockroaches hide in warm, dark gaps during the day and come out at night to feed. Seeing them in daylight often means a larger infestation.
Do I need to leave during treatment?
Not usually. Gel baits don't need you to leave. If we use a spray, we'll ask you to keep out of treated rooms for a few hours.
