Close-up of a cockroach on a surface

Cockroaches

Cockroaches prefer protected areas close to food, water and warmth, allowing them to remain hidden for long periods.

Main risk

Nuisance

Signs to look for

  • Repeated sightings or activity around kitchens and cupboards can suggest an established problem.

  • Cockroaches may appear at night.

  • They may hide around appliances, storage areas and small protected spaces throughout the property.

Why it matters

Cockroach activity can become frustrating because they may remain hidden in areas that are difficult to reach through normal cleaning. An established problem may continue even when only occasional cockroaches are being seen.

Reducing favourable conditions

  • Keep food stored properly and clean spills promptly.

  • Reduce unnecessary moisture.

  • Avoid leaving cluttered areas where cockroaches can easily hide.
