Inspection and activity mapping
We look for signs of cockroach activity such as sightings, droppings, and smears, then note where they are travelling and likely hiding.
If you are seeing cockroaches in kitchen areas, bathrooms, or around light fittings, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help identify the source and treat it to reduce activity.
Cockroaches usually live close to water and food, then spread room to room. The most important step is finding where they are hiding and what is keeping them coming back.
