Cockroaches are more than just an unwanted visitor, they’re a serious health risk and a clear sign that your property might need professional pest attention. At Pixel Pest Control, we provide targeted Cockroach Control services backed by 30+ years of experience, delivering long-term protection and peace of mind to homes and commercial properties across the region.
Whether you’ve seen one scurrying across the kitchen floor or you’re noticing signs of a larger infestation, we’re here to help, quickly, discreetly, and effectively.
Cockroaches are known carriers of bacteria, allergens and disease. They breed quickly and are notoriously hard to get rid of using over-the-counter sprays or DIY methods. What you see on the surface is usually just a small part of a much larger problem hidden behind walls, under floors or inside cabinets.
Our professional cockroach control treatments are designed to eliminate the infestation at the source, and stop it coming back.
If you’re noticing any of these, it’s time to call in the experts.
We don’t believe in quick sprays and walkaways. Our team takes the time to properly inspect your home or workplace, identify harbourage points, and apply safe, targeted treatments that deliver long-term protection, not just short-term relief.
We use professional-grade products that are safe for families, kids, pets and staff, while still being tough on cockroach infestations of all sizes
Wherever cockroaches go, we follow, and treat the source effectively.
Each species requires a specific treatment approach, and we tailor our solutions accordingly.
Small, fast breeders often found in kitchens, dishwashers, fridges and under appliances.
Large cockroaches found in subfloors, sewer lines and roof cavities.
Dark, shiny cockroaches often in damp, cool areas such as basements and drains.
A larger outdoor species that often moves indoors during warmer months.
Externally – Black House Spiders create unsightly webs around your guttering, downpipes, windows, fences, under eaves, and doors. Smaller spiders create webs on your clothesline and can crawl into your clothes. Red Back Spiders create webs under outdoor furniture, plant pots, in between stored goods such as pavers, bricks, or boxes in garages.
Internally – Daddy Long Leg Spiders like to hide in cornices, tops of cupboards, and inside cupboards. Small spiders (money spiders) like to also make tiny webs and hide along your ceiling cornice and behind/under furniture. If the external spider activity is high then you will start to see Black House Spiders inside as well around windows and doors.
If spiders are building up outside and making their way inside and it’s causing distress, or you are at risk of being bitten it’s time to give the experts at Pixel Pest Control a call. Webs can make your home look untidy and if you have a large garden or shrubbery spiders can build webs between these that you may walk through. Just remember that if pests are undesirable and overstepping their welcome just give Pixel a call.
After an initial site inspection for safety and discussing problem areas with the homeowner, we then outline a treatment plan, some of this is also discussed over the phone prior to our service. Common treatments for webbing spiders consists of a low-medium pressure, low odour, insecticide treatment using a fan-jet style nozzle, of targeted problem areas. Pixel Pest Control also incorporates a Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach and utilises spray equipment to reach most high areas e.g. eaves and windows of a 2-3 storey or split level domestic home.
Exterior: Under eaves, guttering, downpipes, cracks in brickwork, under handrails and furniture, small-medium garden sheds, retaining walls, clothesline, around windows, doors, wheelie bins, and letterboxes. Fences are also treated (if safe to do so) making sure to get up in all the voids (especially in a colourbond fences) where spiders might be hiding.
Interior: For Spiders internally we target them directly that are along cornices, in cupboards, around windows and doors, behind and under furniture. We also use dust inside door voids, wall voids. From our experience if the exterior webbing spider activity is treated, this then reduces the activity inside the home!. Pixel Pest Control recommends an Exterior and Interior treatment for webbing spiders whenever they become a problem for best results.
Most importantly we ask the client to NOT broom down webs before our arrival. This helps us identify where the majority of the issues are, allows for spiders who may be hiding during the treatment to come out into the web and come in contact with the treatment. Home owners will need to close all doors and windows, remove any washing on the clothesline, remove pet food bowls, cover any fish tanks for fish ponds with a tarpaulin, cover bbq and remove any food utensils from outside. Pixel Pest Control follows all insecticide label requirements and you need to vacate the home for 2-3 hours, although we discuss our preparation requirements prior to any treatment for the safety of our clients and staff. Please take note of our Common practises below.
Generally the treatment takes approx 1-2 hours to complete inside and out depending on the home size.
It may take upto 10 days before all spiders have come into contact with treatment. Leaving the spider webs up during this time after treatment helps to treat any spiders hiding during initial treatment. Pixel Pest Control recommends the spider webs be broomed down 14 days after the treatment, this helps to identify any new active spiders/webs and reduces the risk of unnecessary callbacks from existing spider webs which are non active. At request we can complete this task for you at a discounted rate if incorporated with a webbing spider treatment.
