How to Choose the Best Cockroach Pest Control in Sydney?

(Professional Pest Manager does not recommend or endorse any particular cockroach pest control company.)
Check their Licenses
Make sure the pest manager has a current pest control license issued by NSW Environment Protection Authority. They should be able to show you their license on request.
The EPA public register allows you to check the license status of your pest manager.
Ask to see their Insurance
Licenses and insurance are two separate things. A pest manager may have a license to carry out the work but they may not be insured to carry out the work. Without insurance, if anything goes wrong, you are not protected.
Make sure their insurance covers pest work. The pest control company needs to provide you with a copy of their insurance if requested.
Check out their online reviews
If you haven’t received a recommendation from a friend, checking out their online reviews is the next best thing. Our directory listings provide a link to their Google Maps listing and Reviews.
What cockroach pest control warranties do they offer?
Most general pest control treatments include large cockroach species in their warranty. Most companies will offer a 6-month warranty, but some companies will offer a 12 month warranty.
Please note that although some companies will offer a 12-month warranty, most products will last no more than 6 months. They offer a 12-month warranty on the basis that having completed a thorough treatment, even if the treatment has completely degraded, it would be unlikely for a cockroach problem to re-occur within the 12-month period.
What does a warranty actually cover / mean? The pest control company warranties that the cockroach problem will not return within the warranty period. If cockroaches do re-appear, contact your pest control company. Typically they will come around to investigate and carry out spot treatments to areas of concern (if necessary). They are unlikely to carry out a full treatment. The spot treatment does not re-set the warranty period, it is simply intended to top up the treatment to make sure it lasts the original warranty period.
German Cockroach Pest Control Sydney
Treatments for small cockroach species – German cockroaches and brown banded cockroaches are a completely separate treatment. These small cockroach species only live indoors and are a lot more difficult to control due to their size and numerous hiding places. For standard German cockroach infestations, it is quite common for the cockroach exterminator to plan for more than one visit. For major infestations or businesses, it may be necessary to have regular treatments.
Most pest control companies will guarantee elimination of the infestation but will not provide any long term warranty. This is because German cockroach infestations often start with the cockroaches being brought into the property by the owner by accident (inside boxes). This is of course beyond the control of the pest control company.
Common cockroach species in Sydney
The four most common types of cockroaches found in Sydney are:
- Large cockroach species: American cockroach and Australian cockroach.
- Small cockroach species: German cockroach and brown-banded cockroach.
Large cockroach species generally live outside in leaf litter, drains and rubbish bins. Inside homes they often live in roof voids and sub-floors. Key elements to a cockroach pest treatment are spraying the outside perimeter of the home and blowing insecticide dust into the roof void.
The German cockroach and brown banded cockroaches live exclusively indoors. The German cockroach tends to prefer kitchens and bathrooms and the brown banded cockroach prefers dryer areas such as bedrooms and living areas. Treatments require using a range to products to target their hiding placed – sprays, dusts and bait.s
Cockroach Pest Control Prices in Sydney
The price of a general pest treatment (which includes large cockroaches) will depend on the size of the house and the size of the property. The more areas to be sprayed, the more time and product it will take and so the higher the price. Prices generally start at $250 for an average single level home with small yard, but can be $500 or more for large homes on property.
German cockroaches (and brown banded cockroaches) require a specialist cockroach treatment and the price will depend on the property and nature if the infestation. Most companies will plan for at least one follow up visit, with prices starting from $300.
