Many people in New Farm live in apartments, from low art deco blocks to newer towers by the river. Apartments bring their own cockroach challenges. Walls, floors and plumbing are shared, so cockroaches can move between units without going outside. Bin rooms, laundries and basements give them somewhere to breed out of sight.
When you book apartment cockroach control, we ask which floor you are on, how old the building is, whether there is a shared laundry or bin room, and whether neighbours have mentioned cockroaches. This helps the crew we book plan for where cockroaches are likely to come from.
- Gel bait in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry
- Dust in the gaps where pipes and cables pass between units
- Checks around the front door, balcony drain and metre cupboard
- A short written note of what was found, for your records
- Tips on sealing gaps and fitting a door seal
Treating your own unit makes a real difference, even in a building with a wider problem. For a better result, though, it helps when several units and the shared areas are treated around the same time. The written note can support a conversation with your body corporate or property manager about this. Older brick blocks often have lifting lino, gaps behind cupboards and old pipe holes, so the crew may spend more time on dusting there. Keeping the gap under your front door sealed and your own bin lidded also helps while the building sorts out the shared areas.
Apartment visits usually take less time than a house, and the price reflects that. Tenants and owners can both book. To book apartment cockroach control in New Farm, call 07 3543 7765 for an upfront price.
