German Cockroaches In Perth

Welcome to the World of Cockroaches

Hey there! Let’s talk about cockroaches, that’s nearly everywhere in our home! And while they may not be the most popular visitors, getting to know them can help us maintain the comfort and health of our spaces.

The species are frequently found near human habitats, including homes, restaurants, and food handling facilities. While they may not be uncommon, they can present potential health risks, so it’s wise to know about them, especially if you have kids, seniors or anyone with health challenges at home. They can cause diseases like salmonella and even cause childhood asthma. They can also leave behind an unpleasant odour that can permeate your food or your possessions.

These little guys can breed fast and are pretty hardy, so quick action is your best bet to keep your house cockroach-free and avoid infestation in your neighbours’ place.

The German Cockroach

These roaches like to feast on pretty much anything edible and can come into your home on all kinds of things, including egg cartons, soft drink boxes, and even furniture. They can also easily travel from one structure to another, resulting in larger numbers, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.
