Where cockroaches commonly appear

1. Food, water and shelter
   Cockroaches are often found around areas that provide food, water and shelter.

2. Common locations
   Activity may appear in kitchens, laundries, cupboards, storage areas and other protected parts of the property.

3. Hidden areas
   Cockroaches can hide in small gaps and sheltered areas.

4. Repeated sightings
   Seeing cockroaches regularly can indicate activity beyond the insects currently visible.

Understanding the source

1. Find the source
   The first step is working out where activity is concentrated and what conditions may support it.

2. Focus treatment
   Treatment can be focused on those areas instead of simply spraying wherever a cockroach has been spotted.

3. Property-specific approach
   The approach depends on the property, the level of activity and where the problem is occurring.

Helping prevent repeat activity

• Contributing conditions
  Food residue, moisture, clutter and easy hiding places can contribute to cockroach problems.

• Practical guidance
  Curtley can provide straightforward guidance about practical steps that may reduce favourable conditions after treatment.
