Cockroaches

There are many varieties of cockroaches in Victoria, but they are not all bad

Australian Cockroaches

Native Australian cockroaches do not want to be in your home. They want to be outside in the bush. These types of cockroaches, once properly identified can be caught and placed back outside.

They don’t want to be inside and usually end up there by mistake. These native cockroaches, are usually not harmful to humans and are actually beneficial to the environment.

These Cockroaches Need To Be Removed

The cockroaches that need to be removed and exterminated in Melbourne, are the introduced species, such as the German, American and Oriental cockroach varieties.

These cockroaches are not native to Australia and cannot survive out in nature.

They can be found inside homes, kitchens and restaurants. They transmit diseases, can cause structural damage and may cause financial problems due to health inspections. They need to be controlled immediately.

Cockroaches are nocturnal pests, which means they come out at night and look for places where there is moisture, so they can lay eggs. It is also why they can go relatively unnoticed. They creep around at night time!

They carry disease because they go into drains, pipes, cracks and places where germs, bacteria and diseases are found, they then crawl onto your food, your toothbrush or clothes.
