Displaying Frequently Asked Questions I have a bad cockroach problem in a bathroom, on what time basis are roaches treated? Cockroaches can be treated at any time of the day or night because we are now able to use gel baits in places that are effective whenever cockroaches come out to forage. These bait locations are hidden from human (and pet) view and therefore are not of any significant risk to children and pets. The larger older male cockroaches come out to forage at night and are attracted to these baits and, after eating some of them, go back to the nest to mate, cannibalise and eat the faeces of other cockroaches thereby transferring the toxic active ingredient to the rest of the colony. This method is effective over a fairly short period of time, around one to two weeks, and results in 90% to 100% eradication of the colony over that time. Finally, there is not usually very much food in a bathroom and cockroaches are attracted to moisture. Their presence in a bathroom sometimes indicates that there is excess moisture from leaking inlet or waste pipes. Controlling or repairing this problem should reduce the moisture and your cockroaches may forage elsewhere for moisture and food. Westate Pest Control would be happy to carry out a baiting to your bathroom. Our indoor cockroach treatments start at $185.00 inc GST with a free three-month call-back cover.
