Cockroaches turn up in Lara kitchens, bathrooms and laundries wherever there is food, water and warmth close together. German cockroaches are usually the ones found indoors, often behind the fridge, under the sink or inside cupboards near the stove, while the larger American cockroach tends to come in from drains, subfloors or the garden after rain.
When you call about cockroaches, tell us where you have been seeing them and at what time of day, since that helps the crew we book work out whether the issue is a small indoor pocket or something moving in from outside. The crew checks cupboards, skirting boards, behind appliances and around drains, then works through the property with that in mind.
Older homes around Lara often have gaps around stumps and subfloor vents that give cockroaches an easy way in, while newer estate homes can still have trouble around plumbing penetrations under the sink or dishwasher. A local team that covers this part of Geelong's north-west regularly sees both types of home and adjusts the visit accordingly.
Cockroach droppings look like small dark flecks, often mistaken for dirt or ground pepper, and a musty smell in a cupboard can be a sign that activity has been going on for a while unnoticed. Numbers can build quickly once a food source is available, so it is worth booking a visit sooner rather than waiting for the problem to grow.
