Cockroach Pest Control Albury
Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in Albury Wodonga homes and businesses. They favour conditions similar to those that humans create, which is why effective cockroach control and cockroach management by Baranduda Pest Control is so important.
Are you seeing cockroaches in or around your home or business?
With their discarded shells, droppings, egg cases and vomit, cockroaches spread diseases such as salmonella, staphylococcus and streptococcus. They can even harbour the virus that causes polio. Their presence can have a detrimental effect to the reputation of a business and can cause unpleasant odours.
Cockroaches, particularly when their numbers are low, tend not come out into the open during the day. As a result, they often go unnoticed at first. It doesn’t take long, however, before those few increase in number and begin to make their presence felt even during the day.
Cockroaches are one of the worst nightmares of any property owner, these six legged creatures enter your home and have the potential to spread a whole lot of diseases like salmonella, diarrhoea and many more. They mostly live in the wet areas of your house like the bathroom, they are highly dangerous if they are left untreated over time. At Baranduda Pest Control we are very aware of the health risks associated with these pests so we provide efficient and effective cockroach control services around Albury Wodonga to a variety of premises.

German cockroaches can be a major problem in commercial kitchens, restaurants, pubs, cafes and in our homes as they are prolific breeders, and can live in refrigerators and ovens as well as in the smallest cracks and crevices. They are relatively small cockroaches, ranging from nymphs (young insects) the size of a pinhead to adults up to 15–25 mm long.
Australian, American and to a lesser degree the smoky brown cockroaches can be found throughout buildings. They are much larger than the German cockroach, up to 30–55 mm, and they have the ability to fly at night.
Cockroaches typically are nocturnal, if you’ve seen one, you probably haven’t seen them all. The few cockroaches you see by day means they were likely forced out by overcrowding; a possible sign of severe infestation.
