Cockroaches can be a big problem for homeowners. They are not just uncomfortable and icky to witness, but they’re also a potential health hazard, causing allergic symptoms and potentially spreading pathogens. These hardy insects seem to let just about anything you throw at them roll right off their backs. That’s why you usually need professional exterminators to get the job done. But how much does cockroach pest control cost? Is cockroach pest control expensive? Let’s find out more.
Sprays
One of the most common methods of cockroach extermination is to spray certain areas of your Northern Beaches home. Insecticidal sprays are an option, but these sprays can have harmful effects on animals other than pests, like your pets, as well as children and your family. Instead, we opt to use non-toxic, all-natural treatments to repel cockroaches and stop them from entering your North Shore home. We apply these sprays in areas where cockroaches are likely to hide, nest, and breed. The cockroach pest control treatment cost is around $50 per treatment. It depends on the size of your Sydney property.
Bait
Bait stations are another popular option for targeting cockroaches in your Northern Beaches home. The bait is placed strategically in areas where you’ve noticed cockroaches, using bait that is irresistible to them, drawing them in. Bait stations take a few weeks to show their full effectiveness, and you don’t want to place them in areas of your North Shore home that are too out in the open. However, bait stations are very effective. The cost of cockroach pest control treatment using bait is typically around $100. Major infestations may also take multiple treatments to lure all cockroaches in your Sydney home.
Traps
Traps are a common product found in shops. Cockroach traps, such as glue traps or other sticky traps, are a chemical-free way to get rid of cockroaches in your Northern Beaches home. The cockroaches simply get stuck in the trap and die. Cockroach traps are particularly effective in hard-to-reach areas, such as inside a cupboard or behind the fridge in your North Shore property. Traps can be a good way to pinpoint where the active cockroach nest is. Like a bait station, a second round with the trap may be necessary to make sure you’ve got all the cockroaches. However, unlike using bait, most forms of cockroach traps are safe around your children and pets, especially if you keep them out of their reach in your Sydney home. Again, this form of cockroach pest control costs around $100.
Roach dusting
Cockroach dusting treatments involve the use of treatments like boric acid dust or a more natural method. Dusting is a powerful, last-resort method of pest control, coating a cockroach’s body as they crawls through strategically placed powder in your North Shore home. In the case of boric acid, the dust coats their body and they are eventually killed. This kind of cockroach pest control costs upward of $100, depending on the size of your Northern Beaches property.
Fumigation
Fumigation is another less natural method of cockroach pest control. In severe infestations, cockroach fumigation involves a vaporised chemical being distributed throughout your Sydney home to eliminate cockroaches throughout the building, floors and walls included.
This non-natural method of cockroach pest control costs between $ 1,200 and $ 3,000. It’s also not at all safe for pets and humans, requiring a vacated Northern Beaches home for up to 72 hours and thorough preparation.
Recurring
Our all-natural cockroach pest control costs less per session than any other form of cockroach pest control, since it works gently and continually to prevent any cockroaches from infesting your home and nesting in your property. This means you never have to pay for any alternative hotel room accommodation, pet kennel or sitter stays, as well as storage for your furniture, or anything else associated with intense cockroach pest control methods. You also don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals harming your pets, home and furnishings, garden, or the wider environment.
If we need to eliminate cockroaches, we’ll use our natural, non-disruptive methods, which means you won’t have to move furniture, relocate pets, or leave your home. Yes, recurring pest control seems more expensive. But in the long term, having a pest control plan pays off.
