A cockroach inspection is a good first step when you are not sure how big the problem is. It suits people who have just moved into a unit in New Farm, landlords checking a place between tenants, and anyone who has spotted a cockroach or two and wants to deal with it early. We book inspections with a nearby independent crew and give you the price upfront.
The crew we book works through the home with a torch, looking in the places cockroaches like most. They are looking for live insects, but also for droppings, egg cases, shed skins, smear marks along edges and the oily smell a larger group leaves behind. These signs show how many cockroaches there are, which type and how long they have been around.
- Kitchen cupboards, the pantry, appliance motors and the rangehood
- Bathroom vanities, the shower recess edges and floor wastes
- The laundry, hot water system and washing machine space
- Under the house, the roof space and wall vents on older homes
- Outside drains, bin areas, garden beds and stored items
At the end of the visit, the crew explains what they found and what they would do about it. If a treatment makes sense, they can usually go ahead straight away once you agree to the price. If there is little sign of cockroaches, they will say so and point out any gaps, leaks or habits worth changing. You will also get a sense of whether the problem is likely coming from inside your home, from next door or from the drains and yard, which changes what kind of treatment makes sense.
An inspection helps you make a clear choice rather than guessing. To book a cockroach inspection in New Farm, call 07 3543 7765.
