The short answer
How do you get rid of German cockroaches?
Cockroach control removes German and American cockroaches from kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, then helps keep them out. We cover all of Sydney 24/7. Each visit covers species and source identification, gel baiting and targeted treatment and kitchen, bathroom and laundry treatment. Call 0494 527 527 or request a free quote online to book.
Check the warning signs
It is rarely just one
If you’ve seen one pest, there are most likely more.
Cockroaches are the pest nobody wants to admit they have, and the one everybody gets at some point in Sydney. German cockroaches breed fast in kitchens and bathrooms, while the big Australian and American ones wander in from the garden and the drains.
A can of spray kills the one you see and sends the rest deeper. Proper cockroach control uses gels, dusts and targeted treatments that reach the harbourages, so the population collapses instead of relocating.

Know your enemy
Not all cockroaches are the same.
We commonly treat German and American cockroaches in Sydney homes and businesses. Here is how to tell the difference.
30 to 50mm
American Cockroach
The big one- Reddish brown body, noticeably larger than the German
- Often found in drains, gardens and damp areas
- Likes warm, wet spots and can fly when disturbed
Know the problem
What we treat, in plain English.
We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.
Species and source identification
German roaches in the kitchen need a different plan to the big ones coming up from the drains. We identify what you have and where they are coming from.
Gel baiting and targeted treatment
Gels and dusts applied to hinges, appliance motors, cracks and voids where cockroaches hide, so they carry the treatment back to the harbourage.
Kitchen, bathroom and laundry treatment
Under sinks, behind appliances, inside cupboards and around plumbing penetrations, the warm damp spots they love.
Hygiene and proofing advice
Practical steps on food storage, grease build-up, drains and gaps that make your place harder to infest.
Our process
A smarter approach to cockroach control.
We do not just spray and leave. We find the source, treat it properly and help stop it coming back.

Straight answers
Questions about cockroach control.
Clean homes still get cockroaches. They come in through drains, gaps, packaging and from neighbouring properties. Cleanliness helps control them, but it does not prevent them.
German cockroaches need professional gel baiting and targeted treatment of their harbourages. Sprays alone scatter them and make the problem harder to fix.
Light infestations often clear with one visit. Established German cockroach problems usually need a follow-up two to three weeks later. We tell you what to expect before we start.
Yes. We use products registered for use in kitchens and apply them to cracks and voids, not food surfaces, and we walk you through any preparation needed.
