Cockroaches – We take them seriously
Cockroaches are notorious for their fast reproductive abilities, with some species able to produce up to 50 offspring in a single egg case. This means that a small infestation can quickly turn into a major problem if not addressed promptly.
Additionally, cockroaches are known to carry and spread a variety of pathogens that can cause illnesses such as salmonella, typhoid fever, and dysentery. Proper hygiene and sanitation practices are essential to prevent cockroach infestations, as they thrive in dirty and cluttered environments.
However, even clean spaces can still attract cockroaches, as they can enter buildings through cracks and crevices in walls and floors. Settled Pest and Weed Control uses advanced techniques and products to eliminate cockroach infestations and prevent them from returning, ensuring that your business or home remains pest-free and healthy.
About Cockroaches
Sydney is home to several species of cockroaches, including the German cockroach, Australian cockroach, American cockroach, and Oriental cockroach.
German cockroaches are commonly found indoors and thrive in warm, humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Australian and American cockroaches are outdoor species but can still enter buildings, while Oriental cockroaches prefer cooler, damp environments like basements and crawl spaces.
All species are known to carry diseases and can contaminate food and surfaces. Identifying the species and understanding their habits is crucial for effective control.

Prevention and sanitation are key in controlling cockroach infestations, but in cases where they have already taken hold – it’s time to give us a call. At Settled, we:
- Use a combination of non-repellent and baiting methods to effectively eliminate cockroach infestations.
- Provide recommendations for ongoing pest prevention to ensure long-term control.

How Settled Pest and Weed Control Manages Cockroaches
At Settled, we prioritise using non-repellent methods to control cockroach infestations. This includes
- Dusting and spraying areas where cockroaches frequent with insecticide
- Using aerosol flushing to displace cockroaches from their hiding spots
- Strategically placing gel baits to eliminate entire colonies.
This approach is more effective than using repellent insecticides, which can cause the infestation to spread and become more difficult to control.
Our experienced technicians also provide guidance on how to maintain proper sanitation and implement preventative measures to minimise the likelihood of future infestations.
Cockroaches in your Business?
Cockroach infestations in your business can have a significant impact on your reputation and bottom line.
These pests can quickly multiply and spread throughout your establishment, causing health and safety hazards for both employees and customers. Common issues that may arise include:
- Cockroaches contaminate food and surfaces
- Their presence can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
- Their presence can lead to negative reviews and loss of business
It is crucial to address cockroach infestations in your business as soon as possible to prevent the situation from escalating. At Settled, we understand the urgency of these situations and offer fast and effective pest control services tailored to your business needs.
What to expect after treatment?
After a professional cockroach treatment, it’s normal to see some dead cockroaches and increased activity for a few days as the treatment takes effect.
However, you should see a significant reduction in cockroach activity within a days to weeks.
Our experienced technicians at Settled will provide recommendations for ongoing pest prevention to ensure long-term control. Additionally, our use of non-repellent methods and baits means that there is little to no odour or mess left behind after treatment.
