Cockroaches in the Kitchen? Professional Control in Newcastle
Cockroaches in the kitchen are the most common pest complaint in Newcastle homes. Our targeted treatment uses professional gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatment — not surface spraying — to eliminate cockroaches at the source.
The Problem
Cockroaches in the kitchen contaminate food surfaces, trigger asthma and allergies, and multiply fast. German cockroaches hide deep behind appliances and inside switchboards, making DIY treatment almost always ineffective. A daytime sighting often signals a larger hidden population.
Our Solution
Our kitchen cockroach treatment targets harbourage zones — behind fridge seals, dishwasher cavities, under cupboards, microwave and oven recesses, hinges and drawer runners. We use professional gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatment, not surface spraying. Large cockroaches are included in the general pest treatment.

FAQ
Cockroaches in the Kitchen — your questions answered
How much does kitchen cockroach treatment cost?+
Large cockroaches are included in the General Pest Treatment from $165. German cockroaches are included, but active infestations may require follow-up treatments at $165 per attendance to break the breeding cycle.
Why don't DIY sprays work on German cockroaches?+
German cockroaches hide deep inside appliances and behind seals where surface spray can't reach. They also develop resistance to common insecticides. Professional gel baits are placed precisely in harbourage zones and carried back to the nest.
Do I need to empty my kitchen cupboards?+
Not usually for gel bait treatment. We may request access to under-sink areas and behind appliances. We'll advise on any specific preparation before treatment.
