Cockroaches

Cockroaches

Gisborne & Native Cockroaches 
– both types are harmless and do not carry disease.

Gisborne Cockroaches can be a major pest in the Bay of Plenty – They come from outside when it is too wet or too hot but prefer to stay outside under bark or woodchips.
It can be told apart from the native bush cockroach by its more distinctive white bands and larger body,

Native Cockroaches – NZ has about 15 varieties, however they are only a pest when they intrude on our homes and make a nuisance of themselves.

Other introduced cockroaches include;
German Cockroach, American Cockroach both of which carry pathogens and are a health risk.

How long does the Exterior Cockroach Treatment last?
We guarantee our Exterior Cockroach Treatment for 3 months.
In most cases you should see 6-8 months of effective protection with results lasting as long as a year.
This is dependant on many factors – some clients are happy with an annual spray, others like to complete every 6 months to keep on top of cockroaches all year round.

How we get rid of them safely

Exterior Treatment for Cockroaches
– We apply an invisible, non-staining treatment to protect your buildings, woodsheds, even your letterbox  – anywhere that cockroaches like to hide!

We use a direct spray method for minimal overspray and reduced impact on the surrounding environment and non-target species.

We have an exclusive high reach system that allows us to reach up to 3 storeys high for complete protection.

Interior Treatment – 
This is a mist treatment and is a light flush for anything that may already by lurking within the house when the Exterior Treatment is applied. It is aimed primarily at entry-points and behind furniture.
It is NOT a heavy residual treatment.

This is an optional treatment and will generally only recommend to complete if we feel it is required or helpful – to minimise pesticide exposure within your home or business.
