Cockroach Pest Control Perth

Cockroaches

Cockroach control is an important part of maintaining a healthy home environment. If ever there was a pest that homeowners shouldn’t try to eliminate themselves, it’s cockroaches. Swatapest provide eco-friendly and pet-friendly cockroach pest control throughout Perth.

Even the cleanest of homes can experience cockroach infestations. 

The best way to get rid of cockroaches in your kitchen and throughout your home is to contact a professional, like the team at Swatapest, to prevent making a cockroach infestation worse.

A safe healthy home is what we all want for our families. 

Cockroach Treatment

Having the right cockroach treatment is essential to get rid of cockroaches.

If you spray a female cockroach with surface spray, she may release her egg sack prior to death. What becomes remarkable, is that the female cockroach will die from the surface spray (making the person believe it’s working) however, the surface spray will not kill the larvae growing in the egg casing.  

What’s the remarkable part?  Every baby cockroach that emerges from the egg sack, will be immune to the surface spray product applied to the mother cockroach.  

Typically, we hear about how a customer sprayed a store-bought product and it worked, but after a while (the eggs hatch) they ended up with tonnes of cockroaches and the spray no longer seems to be working and by the time they contact us, they have bred up super cockroaches.  This prompts people to then contact a professional cockroach exterminator. 

Cockroach

Not only is the cockroach one of the main culprits in the spread of Salmonella poisoning, but their urine is undetectable to the human eye (could be on your plate or utensils that you put into your mouth). 

Cockroach excrement can make breathing problems such as asthma and allergies so much worse due to the air becoming contaminated with the secretions from their bodies.

German cockroaches (cockroaches typically found in kitchens) can have between 30-40 babies in each egg casing (sack).  This is why cockroach infestations need to be handled by a professional straight away.  

These pests are not picky eaters. They will eat anything from leftovers, garbage, animal excrement, pet food and much more. 

Once they have crawled around in disgusting areas, they will then walk around your home in areas that you prepare food, your cutlery, plates or areas that you engage in everyday activity.

Cockroaches in Perth prefer warm areas, which is why they commonly short out the electrics in dishwashers, fridges, microwaves, kettles and coffee makers.  

One of our Swatapest customers had over $3,000 worth of damage to kitchen appliances from cockroaches before they contacted us. We now keep their kitchen and premises cockroach free with regular cockroach treatments.

Cockroach Pest Control 

Having a complete cockroach pest control plan is an absolute necessity. 

Cockroaches have the ability to survive a nuclear blast, therefore making them one of the hardest pests to fully eradicate, many times, this is made even harder, due to the use of inadequate store-bought products.  

When it comes to cockroaches in restaurants, this can be a major issue and the effect on your business is massive: 

• Fines from the health department
• Bad reviews if a customer sees a cockroach
• Requires expert advice because a commercial kitchen is very different from a domestic kitchen.  
• Treatment needs to be done to minimise cockroaches but also done in a way as not to contaminate anything within the commercial premises

Swatapest has eliminated 10,000 cockroaches from a restaurant without using any pesticides.  

We’ve removed close to 100,000 cockroaches from a shopping centre within 30 days saving every food occupant a fine from the health inspectors.

I was very sceptical of all the 5 star reviews initially but when we found 4 white tip spiders in our house within 1-2 months I was willing to give them a go to protect my young family. After they applied the full treatment we certainly didn't see any white tips and we may have seen 1 or 2 spiders outside in total in the following months. The treatment also fixed an ant problem that had been plaguing our patio area which was also great. Will definitely use again!

I love this company. We have seen results already. In my old apartment in Midland, we had three different pest control companies come out on several occasions, and we have not seen these results. Isaiah was awesome. Communication is great. I highly recommend them.

If you need pest control, call Swatapest. Isaiaha is not only the nicest person to deal with, he is also very knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend Swatapest and will definitely be calling them in the future if needed.
