Cockroach baiting uses small dots of gel bait placed right where cockroaches hide, such as cupboard hinges, cracks behind splashbacks, the frames of appliances and the gaps around pipes. Cockroaches eat the bait and carry it back to their hiding spots, where others feed on it too. It is a low mess option that suits kitchens, occupied apartments and holiday units in Surfers Paradise, where people want to keep using the home as normal.
Baiting works well on German cockroaches and is often used alongside other treatments for American cockroaches. It needs the right bait in the right places, and it needs to be left alone. That means no spraying over the dots, no wiping them off, and keeping other food sealed so the cockroaches choose the bait. Heavy bleach cleaning right after the visit can also put cockroaches off the bait.
When you call, we ask what kind of cockroaches you are seeing and where. We book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit. On the day, the crew inspects the kitchen and wet areas, places bait where the signs are, and may add dusts in wall voids or under appliances. They explain what to expect, which is usually more activity for a few days and then a steady drop over the next couple of weeks.
